LOVE SCULPTUREBlues Helping
1968 UK Parlophone (PCC 7059) FIRST *MONO* PRESSING
BEAUTIFUL COPY AND FINAL UPGRADE (another one from the selection I am listing, all from the same original owner. All are in stunning barely played condition and have been carefully stored in a record box for the past 50+ years. Better copies you couldn't wish for and collections like this are now becoming almost impossible to find)

MATRIX: XEX 701-2 / XEX 702-1
MOTHERS/STAMPERS: 1/G 1/G
THE RECORD IS HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL FRONT LAMINATED FLIPBACK COVER "Printed and made by Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd. Patents Pending"
COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL "PATENT APPLIED FOR" PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE
As hyperkinetic blues albums by white English kids go, this is a good one. Dave Edmunds, armed only with a 1959 Gibson 335 and a 100-watt Marshall stack, cranks through these recognisable blues covers (with one original instrumental) with reckless abandon. Backup support is handled by bassist John Williams and drummer Bob "Congo" Jones, who do their best to keep up and provide a rhythmic foundation for Edmunds to wail over. Edmunds also handled nearly all the vocals but what makes this album worthwhile is the revved-up guitar playing, especially when Edmunds shreds both Freddy King's "The Stumble" and Willie Dixon's "Wang Dang Doodle."
