Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Please keep in mind our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office.Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has became very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback. We use a VPI machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery.

\ USA - DERAM RECORDS - XZAL 1043
Nice CLEAN Copy ...original 1971 first pressing in THICK textured gatefold cover on the famed DERAM Records label. Still has the printed original inner sleeve to the pressing
From the opening wah-wah rhythm guitar of 'You Can Choose' and the thundering attack of Thain and Hartley when the group comes in, it's clear that Overdog is a considerably different beast to The Time Is Near.... While the previous album had an energy of its own, 'You Can Choose' righteously bristles with excitement. While nowhere near the metal-edge of Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page, Miller adopts a weightier tone and more reckless abandonapproach to soloing.
That doesn't mean that Keef Hartley Band had walked away from its stylistic cross-pollination of blues, jazz, folk and rock. But even the ever-so-slightly rural opening to 'Plain Talkin' is propelled by a more visceral rhythm section, a more assertive solo from Anderson and some fine organ work from now-regular keyboardist Mick Weaver.
There were comparisons, at the time, between Keef Hartley Band and Colosseum, the group spearheaded by drummer Jon Hiseman, who guests on a couple of tracks here. The link is clear when Hartley takes the compositional reins on a couple of tracks, including the Enroute section of the eight-minute 'Theme/Enroute/Theme Reprise' medley, which is a vamp-based jam feature for guest flautist Johnny Almond, whose group Mark-Almond would mine similar turf. He also contributes the Latin jazz-tinged, minor-keyed instrumental vamp 'Imitations From Home' with Hiseman contributing some propulsive conga work.
But these tracks represent the lighter side of Overdog, an overall heavier album. Anderson's title track begins with thundering tom-toms and a bass pulse, over which Anderson delivers some processed guitar before heading into flat-out skonk territory. 'Roundabout' begins with another tom tom-driven beat that features a heavy arrangement that ultimately turns rockier, but never loses sight of the soulful-power component.
