Description

A rare 10" limited edition EP from this LA based blues rock band, produced by Rick Rubin. In great condition. I think it has been conservatively priced. Will be carefully packaged, with disc in original paper inner sleeve but packaged outside of the main sleeve. I have got a 10" PVC cover for it, which I am including. I will used a proper 12" card record mailer to send this. 
The disc and the cover are in excellent condition. Has originally heavy grade inner sleeve. I have played it through and sound quality is great. I used a Sony PS-X6 with Grado F3+ cartidge. I could see two very light marks on side 2 but these were not detectable on playback. Lovely sheen to vinyl. Big grooves.
Fantastic raw live sound, kind of wishing I was keeping this now, having just played it through! 
I have offered regular 2nd class or 2nd class signed for. Regular is only covered up to £20 for loss or damage. Up to you. I always post from the local delivery office and obtain proof of posting. 
"The Red Devils were a Los Angeles-based blues rock band who were active from 1988 to 1994. With their no-frills approach and singer Lester Butler's convincing Chicago-style blues harp, they were a popular fixture on the Los Angeles club scene and toured the U.S. and Europe. The band released a live album, a four-song EP, and recorded songs with Mick Jagger and Johnny Cash. By 1994, the band had broken up, although some members occasionally perform with guest musicians as the Red Devils or their earlier name, the Blue Shadows. In 2017, such a lineup toured and recorded Return of the Red Devils in the Netherlands.
Originally called the Blue Shadows, the band formed as an offshoot of roots rock/punk band The Blasters in 1988.They established themselves as the Monday-night house band of a Los Angeles neighborhood club, King King. Early members included Smokey Hormel, Dave Alvin, and Gene Taylor, but by 1990–1991, the lineup had more or less stabilized with drummer Bill Bateman, guitarist Dave Lee Bartel, bassist Jonny Ray Bartel (from The Knitters), singer/harmonica player Lester Butler, and guitarist Paul "The Kid" Size.
In September 1993, Rick Rubin brought the Red Devils back to the studio to record with music legend Johnny Cash. During their impromptu session, Cash showed the band some songs, including "T for Texas", "Bad News", "Devil's Right Hand", and "Thirteen". Their recording of "T for Texas" was later released on Cash's Unearthed 2003 album. After Cash left, Rubin announced "OK, we're gonna record your next album right now" to the band's surprise. Nine songs were recorded with guitarist Zach Zunis, who replaced Hormel. However, due to mounting problems, the album was never completed. Four songs from the session were later released on the Blackwater Roll EP".
