Hard Stuff ?– Bulletproof - UK Purple Records ?–TPSA 7505 - 1ST PRESS 1U/1U
Pure guitar shreddery from start to finish.
In 1972, British hard rock band Hard Stuff (formerly known as Bullet) released their debut album, Bulletproof, on Purple Records. Purple Records existed from 1971 to 1979 and was put together by Deep Purple’s management to handle that band’s records as well as related projects and bands like this, who just kicked ass and would appeal to Deep Purple fans Led by underground guitar hero John Cann (formerly of Andromeda and Atomic Rooster) and also featuring bassist John Gustafson (Quatermass) and drummer Paul Hammond (Atomic Rooster), this energetic trio's debut is packed with crunching riffs and wailing solos, and benefits from a strikingly clear production. Originally released in May 1972, it's nothing short of a lost hard rock classic,

Some incredible songs on this 1967 album from composer Reid King who married the Brazilian sound with
popular music of that era to produce an album that should have really taken off then, but due to the strange
setup of Canterbury Records who were in business to lose money for a Mattel tax shelter, the album was allowed
to die on the vine by Canterbury when it started to take off with airplay and sales. Reid King went on to become
one of the foremost composers of contemporary music for the gut-string guitar.
FINALLY ONE LAST WORD RE HAIRLINES, IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ANY NON SEALED RECORD WITHOUT THEM, MANY HAD THEM FROM NEW. MOSTLY THEY ARE A RESULT OF STORAGE AND USE AND USUALLY HAVE LITTLE IMPACT ON THE SOUND QUALITY. THE SAME GOES FOR BACKGROUND NOISE, UNFORTUNATELY ALL RECORDS WILL HAVE SOME AND THIS VARIES AND REFLECTS THE PRESSING QUALITY.
Most records have production marks where someone touched or moved the vinyl while it was still semi-soft. These marks look like smudges, but are not scratches or "paper scuffs" and do not usually sound. Untouched vinyl from newly-opened records have these marks.
RECOMMENDED!
FULLY GUARANTEED!
