1968 - MAX FROST AND THE TROOPERS - SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME - 12" VERY RARE VINYL RECORD LP - THIS ISN'T THE SOUNDTRACK FOR THE MOTION PICTURE "WILD IN THE STREETS" - THIS IS MAX FROST AND THE TROOPER'S RARE SOLO ALBUM - MAX FROST AND THE TROOPERS PROVIDED THE SOUNDTRACK FOR THE FILM "WILD IN THE STREETS". THE FILM WAS ABOUT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF A BUNCH OF KIDS TOOK OVER THE GOVERNMENT - THE BEST KNOWN SONG FROM THIS FILM WAS THE RADIO HIT "SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME" AND AFTER IT BECAME A RADIO HIT MAX FROST AND THE TROOPERS RELEASED THIS RARE SOLO ALBUM - IT'S SAID THAT MAX FROST AND THE TROOPERS WERE SIMPLY SOME STUDIO MUSICIANS IN HOLLYWOOD AND INCLUDED DAVIE ALLAN AND THE ARROWS AMONG OTHERS -TOWER RECORDS LABEL - ST 5147 - CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS

LIKE I SAID AND ANYBODY WHO IS A COLLECTOR OF LATE 60'S PSYCHEDELIC / ROCK MUSIC ALREADY KNOWS, THIS IS THE RARE MAX FROST AND THE TROOPER'S "SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME" ALBUM AND NOT THE MORE COMMON SOUNDTRACK OF THE FILM "WILD IN THE STREETS". 

ANYBODY WHO COLLECTS OR KNOWS ABOUT DAVIE ALLAN AND THE ARROWS KNOWS ABOUT HIS SOUND. HE WAS A GUITARIST RECORDING MANY ALBUMS IN HOLLYWOOD IN THE 60'S. SOME PEOPLE SAY JIMI HENDRIX WOULDA' BEEN PROUD AND PERHAPS HE WOULD HAVE BEEN. I'M NOT SAYING THAT DAVIE ALLAN SOUNDED ANYTHING LIKE JIMI, DAVIE HAD HIS OWN GUITAR SOUND AND WAS MUCH MORE INTERESTING IN MY OPINION COMPARED TO INSTRUMENTAL BANDS LIKE THE VENTURES WHICH WERE AROUND DURING THE SAME TIME PERIOD.

SIDE ONE CONTAINS: SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME - LONELY MAN - SHINE IT ON - IT'S WRONG - CAPTAIN HASSLE.

SIDE TWO CONTAINS: FIFTY TWO PER CENT - TRY TO MAKE UP YOUR MIND - LET YOUR MIND RUN FREE - SHE LIED - A CHANGE IS GONNA COME. 

HEAVY CARDBOARD ALBUM COVER. HAS A SEAM SPLIT IN THE CENTER OF THE BOTTOM SEAM BUT WAS REALLY ONLY NOTICEABLE WHEN I PUT MY HAND INSIDE OF THE COVER TO SPREAD IT OPEN. A RED CHECK MARK ON THE BACK COVER NEXT TO THE SONG " FIFTY TWO PER CENT. NO TAPE. A LITTLE RING WEAR ON THE BACK. JUST LOOK AT THE PHOTOS WHICH TELL THE STORY BETTER THAN CAN BE DESCRIBED. OVERALL YOU'LL SEE A NICE 47 YEAR OLD ALBUM COVER.

HEAVY VINYL RECORD BOTH SIDES PLAY GREAT WITH VERY LITTLE NOTICEABLE SURFACE NOISE . I PLAYED BOTH SIDES OF THIS RECORD ON MY DENON DP-1200 TURNTABLE WITH A DENON MOVING COIL CARTRIDGE HOOKED UP TO A HEAD AMP. THIS TYPE OF CARTRIDGE TRACKS BOTH SIDES OF THE RECORD GROOVE, SO I CAN HEAR EVERYTHING ON THIS LP AND THEY'LL BE NO SURPRISES . MOVING BOTH SIDES OF THE RECORD AROUND UNDER A 100 WATT LIGHT BULB THERE'S SOME LIGHT SURFACE MARKS / SCUFFS, BUT NO DEEP GROOVE SCRATCHES WHICH IS ONE OF THE REASONS THAT THERE'S MINIMAL SURFACE NOISE ON A RECORD THIS OLD. NO SPINDLE MARKS SEEN ON EITHER ONE OF THE RECORD LABELS.THE RECORD COMES WITH A NICE HIGH QUALITY TYPE OF INNER SLEEVE AND A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE.
