REVIEW:  Requiem for a Harlequin is the second album released by David Allan Coe. It was released in 1973 on SSS International Records. There are no track names; side one was simply named, "The Beginning" and side two, "The End".
This is a concept album in which Coe repeatedly uses the phrase "Asphalt Jungle" to describe the life he grew up in. Reoccurring themes include hard tales of life, love, relationships, The Civil Rights Movement, 60's Counter Culture ideology, and modern society. The record is entirely spoken word (self described by Coe in recent years as "The first Rap album") with backing musical style encompassing a wide variety of genres including Rock and Roll, Blues, Folk, and Gospel .
RARE ORIGINAL U.S. STEREO PRESSING WITH BLUE/ORANGE SSS INTERNATIONAL LABELS. VINYL IN CLEAN, SUPERIOR SHAPE.
NOTE: This copy of this LP has some very slight "dishing", which has resulted in a very mild wave to one side of the disc. The LP still tracks and plays perfectly, but when Side 1 is played, the tone arm will move slightly up and down. On Side 2, this does not happen. I have created 2 YouTube videos that show how the LP looks (and sounds) when played. These excerpts both come from the beginning of each side. Again, this has NO EFFECT ON THE AUDIO PLAYBACK, and is merely visual/cosmetic. However, since this is a very rare LP, and may ultimately go for quite a bit of money, I definitely do not want anyone to feel surprised by this. And again, this issue only occurs on Side 1.

    SIDE ONE:


    SIDE TWO:  
CONDITION: (we visually grade albums according to Goldmine Standards, BUT questionable vinyl marks are also play-graded)

AS WITH ALL USED VINYL LPS, A THOROUGH CLEANING SHOULD BE PERFORMED BEFORE PLAYING, FOR OPTIMUM SOUND QUALITY.
