Mixed at Command studios.The two vinyls are in sensational condition and if you are interested in any of the featured stars , then this is an essential buy for you ,as it serves as an integral back catalogue , capturing their elusive live solo performances.
UDX 203/4 Stereo 1st UK pressing of The Various Artists compilation “Greasy truckers Party”.
Sleeve
Unlaminated, gatefold sleeve. Clean, no unwanted marks to report. No wear or tears ,top right hand corner showing a fraction of deterioration but that is the only minus. Otherwise perfect, opening crisp and sharp to an entourage of black and white photos taken during the performance. Reverse shows a replica of an advertising poster for the concert. 50 pence the asking price. Great collectors item on offer here. Times have changed….
Labels
Pristine, clean and bright. No discolouration or yellowing of labels. Very immaculate to say the least .Unique record label as no company specified, as this concert was raising money to the Truckers funds.
Vinyls
2 L Ps in stunning condition. As new and MINT. Polished, heavy and a thick pressing. Certainly this album is a true collectors item as it demonstrates the record industry of the 1970s. Thick vinyl and heavy pressings were the trademark of that era. Superb representation here. Won’t find better than this if you looked for another hundred years.
Audio
As impressive as it looks. Perfect and clear channels throughout .Just close your eyes and you might as well be sitting in the front row of a pop concert in 1970!!!I like to describe accurately every single detail of my records and I must highlight a five second fault on side 3.There is a pop of five and that is all. The rest of the vinyls are perfect in every way. No background interference and nothing to disturb the 90 mins of pure pop concert atmosphere, with audience participation and intros from the band members.
Line up of artists are MEGA
HAWKWIND are exceptional with Master of the Universe and Born to Go -.21.5 mins of Hawkwind performing LIVE…WOW!!!
MAN-awesome group and play Spunk Rock and Angel Easy for 22mins. Brilliant stuff!!
BRINSLEY SCHWARZ is magnificent with Wonder Woman and Midnight Train.
MAGIC MICHAEL is also a great guitarist and contributes a breathtaking “Music belongs to the People”.
Summary
Can’t get much better than 90 minutes of a live rock concert in the 1970s!!!Audio exceptional, great collectors album. Very scarce to find this double album in such a stunning condition. Hardly been played! Awesome featuring some great 70s icons. Fantastic collector’s album Not to be missed!!
