THIS IS THE RARE JAPANESE PRESSING OF THIS CLASSIC HARD ROCK / PSYCHEDELIC AND FINAL CAPTAIN BEYOND ALBUM "DAWN EXPLOSION". FOR THIS FINAL ALBUM BOBBY CALDWELL RETURNS TO PLAY DRUMS AND IT REALLY ROCKS. ROD EVANS WHO LEFT THE GROUP AFTER THEIR 2ND ALBUM "SUFFICIENTLY BREATHLESS" RELEASED IN 1973 IS REPLACED BY WILLY DAFFERN FOR THIS ALBUM. THIS ALBUM IS MORE HARD ROCK THAN THEIR 2ND. I STILL THINK THAT THEIR FIRST ALBUM WAS NOT ONLY THEIR BEST, BUT ONE OF THE BEST ROCK ALBUMS EVER MADE. I'VE HAD SOME HEAVY METAL FRIENDS TELL ME THAT THIS IS THEIR 2ND BEST ALBUM. ONE THING'S FOR SURE, WITH BOBBY CALDWELL BACK ON DRUMS IT KICKS BUTT, AND THIS RARE SUPERIOR JAPANESE PRESSING WILL GIVE THE LISTENER / COLLECTOR A GREAT CHANCE TO HEAR JUST HOW MUCH BUTT THEY KICK. THE RECORD SOUNDS GREAT, ABOUT AS GOOD AS IT'LL EVER GET ON VINYL WITH PERHAPS THE EXCEPTION OF A TEST PRESSING AND EVEN SO I DOUBT THAT THERE WOULD BE MUCH DIFFERENCE IF ANY. THE JAPANESE ALWAYS USED GREAT QUALITY VINYL.
SIDE ONE CONTAINS: DO OR DIE - ICARUS - SWEET DREAMS - FANTASY.
SIDE TWO CONTAINS: BREATH OF FIRE A SPECK WITHIN A SPHERE. ALONE IN THE COSMOS. - IF YOU PLEASE - MIDNIGHT MEMORIES - SPACE INTERLUDE - OBLIVION - SPACE REPRISE.
A NICE HEAVY CARDBOARD ALBUM COVER WITH THE WHITE SAMPLE STICKER ON THE FRONT OF THE ALBUM. NO RING WEAR. ABOUT AN INCH SEAM SPLIT AT THE RECORD OPENING ON THE TOP. NOTHING AT ALL WRONG WITH THE INSERT. NO TEARS OR CREASES.
A BEAUTIFUL RECORD THAT SOUNDS GREAT. WHAT MORE CAN I SAY? I PLAYED BOTH SIDES ON MY DENON DP-1200 TURNTABLE WITH A DENON MOVING COIL CARTRIDGE AND IT SOUNDED INCREDIBLE. LOOKS BEAUTIFUL TOO. I MOVED BOTH SIDES OF THE RECORD ROUND UNDER A PAIR OF 200 WATT LIGHT BULBS AND I REALLY TRY TO FIND ANYTHING. WELL I FOUND ONE ULTRA SMALL LIGHT SCUFF ON SIDE TWO AND THAT'S ABOUT IT, NO SMUDGES AND I USED A DISCWASHER WAND TO REMOVE MOST OF THE DUST PARTICLES FROM THE RECORD SURFACE BEFORE PLAYING IT. THE RECORD COMES WITH THE ORIGINAL JAPANESE PLASTIC INNER SLEEVE AND DUE TO THE FACT THAT WEEZE TIGHT, I'M GONNA GIVE YEZ A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE ABSOLUTELY FREE.
