Description
PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. Because of that dedication, there should be no need to open a resolution dispute before working with us. Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. 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 become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our well over 18,000 positive feedback. We use an ultrasonic KLAudio 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. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so. Thank you for your interest and support. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SHIPPING: USA ~ 1 LP = $4.00 Media Priority rates vary by area; please inquire.

ORIGINAL 1970 BRITISH FIRST PRESS- ..|/\|...............................................|/\|..
- = Stone The Crows =
- ODE TO JOHN LAW
- ..|/\|...............................................|/\|..
- UK - POLYDOR - 2425042
- T-O-P COPY OF STONE THE CROWS BEST ALBUM
- Read Why:
- Original ...1970 British-ONLY issue in gatefold format and second album the band released in 1970 (their first, the orange one with scarecrow cover was released also in the USA)
- ................................................................................................
- With the terrific Maggie Bell as the band's front-woman, one might expect to hear thunderous and raspy Janis Joplin-inspired vocals, loaded with angst and emotion, over hard-driving blues rock, which is exactly what's on offer here.
- Stone The Crows is what Faces might have sounded like with a female vocalist at the helm—had Rod Stewart perhaps undergone a gender reassignment.
Ode to John Law, the band's second studio album—and its second album released in 1970—continues on from where the debut left off, with more psychedelic-tinged, blues-based Rock 'n' Roll, along with a touch of funk and soul added to the mix, thick-sounding Hammond, trippy electric piano, spirited and tasty guitar, and a solid and punchy rhythm section involving the mighty James Dewar who was the star in the powerful Robin Trower '70s super-star albums . And with not only Maggie Bell belting out tracks such as "Mad Dogs & Englishmen," "Sad Mary," "Love 74," "Things are Getting Better," and the killer-performed "Danger Zone," all spiced with underrated guitarist Les Harvey (band founder and brother of the "sensational" Alex Harvey, who would be fatally electrocuted on stage only a few short years later) , the band's lineup, rounded out by keyboardist John McGinnis and drummer Collin Allen, simply smokes!
- Just after the death of Harvey in 1972, Stone The Crows fell apart shortly afterward. A shame, really, since as heard especially on its self-titled debut and Ode to John Law, the band possessed a unique style, had undeniable chemistry, a seemingly endless drive, and a knack for skillfully incorporating touches of numerous influences into its sound.

Leslie Harvey – Guitars
John McGinnis – Keyboards
James Dewar – Bass & Vocals

- The cover: rated: near M- really nice for a HARD to find gatefold without heavy wear as almost always see, IF seen at all. There are no delete marks, no split seams, no bends, and no writing ...
- The vinyl: Rated: M- smoooth and clear, there is NO better copy as far as clean and shiny goes = playing with beautiful audio all the way
- both UK Polydor labels are clean
A cool addition to anyone's music library!
