Decades before the MTV Unplugged phenomenon took off, Delaney and Bonnie recorded an album's worth of tunes in just that acoustic fashion.
Rounding up a cast of "friends" for the event (including Joe Cocker, Leon Russell, and Duane Allman, to name a few "friends"), Motel Shot's title refers to the impromptu, late-night jam-sessions touring musicians used to unwind when on the road
Delaney and Bonnie even had a hit single here, with "Never Ending Song of Love."
This is a refreshing record, and one that should not be missed.
It includes strains of gospel, country, blues, folk, and R&B, while never straying from the acoustic trail.

Track Listing:
Side 1: Where The Soul Never Dies / Will The Circle Be Unbroken / Rock Of Ages / Long Road Ahead / Faded Love / Talkin' About Jesus
Side 2: Come On In My Kitchen / Don't Deceive Me (Please Don't Go) / Never Ending Song Of Love / Sing My Way Home / Going Down The Road Feeling Bad / Lonesome And A Long Way From Home

LABELS: Clean, bright, fresh and unmarked labels with no spindle traces or any signs of use at all - the spindle hole is still quite tight - MINT

VINYL Visual: Both surfaces retain their original deep, glossy sheen and appear as-new, this is a beautiful pristine piece of vinyl - visually MINT
VINYL Audio: Deep, rich and strong audio reproduction on this first pressing with a crystal clear, detailed sound and decidedly 'live' feel - very atmospheric. On careful play at a loud volume it sounds sensational and there are no scratches, no sticks/jumps, no clicks/pops and no surface noise - the run-ins and track divisions (what there are, as the tracks segue together beautifully and the play is more or less continuous) are silent and I have no hesitation in grading this copy as MINT for audio - the playback is flawless - superb copy of a fantastic LP

SLEEVE: The delicate gatefold is very soft in construction with a textured finish and apart from a little feathering to the opening edge it's clean, unmarked and unrubbed and in beautiful condition - NEAR MINT
