BLOOD SWEAT & TEARS

"CHILD IS FATHER TO THE MAN" RARE! 1967 US MONO PROMO ONLY COPY OF THE LEGENDARY FIRST BS&T, COLUMBIA AS-1636! NO COMMERCIAL MONO VERSION WAS EVER RELEASED!

THIS FABULOUS ALBUM WAS ONE OF A TRIO OF 1967 CONTEMPORARY FIRST "HORN ROCK" BANDS, THE OTHER 2 BEING: MIKE BLOOMFIELD'S ELECTRIC FLAG "A LONG TIME COMIN'" AND PAUL BUTTERFIELD'S "RESURRECTION OF PIGBOY CRABSHAW". WHAT FOLLOWED WAS A BURST OF SUCH GROUPS, A PERIOD OF TIME THAT PRODUCED CHASE, CHICAGO TRANSIT AUTHORITY, AND OTHERS, BUT NOTHING COMPARES TO THE FIRST BS&T, A BAND THAT CAME DIRECTLY OUT OF THE REMAINS OF THE BLUES PROJECT - AL KOOPER & STEVE KATZ PROVIDING THE CONTINUUM.

I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS AN ACTUAL MONO MIX OR A FOLD-DOWN, BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE A MIX TO ME - IF IT'S A FOLD DOWN IT IS THE BEST ONE I'VE EVER HEARD. EVERYTHING IS NICELY IN PLACE, NO ODD LEVELS, LOST TRACKS OR PHASING ISSUES.   

TRACKS:

• OVERTURE
• I LOVE YOU MORE THAN YOU'LL EVER KNOW
• MORNING GLORY
• MY DAYS ARE NUMBERED
• WITHOUT HER
• JUST ONE SMILE
• I CAN'T QUIT HER
• MEAGAN'S GYPSY EYES
• SOMETHIN' GOIN' ON
• HOUSE IN THE COUNTRY
• THE MODERN ADVENTURES OF PLATO, DIOGENES AND FREUD
• SO MUCH LOVE/UNDERTURE 

CONDITION:

• LIGHT GENERAL SHELF WEAR & PARTIAL WEAR RING
• CORNER TIPS & SEAMS HAVE SHELF WEAR
• SPINE SURFACE IS CRACKED & WORN
• NO CUT, NO PUNCH, NO WRITING
• TIMING STRIP & 'SPECIAL MONO' STICKER ARE INTACT WITH LIGHT SOIL, NO WRITING
• LABELS ARE BRIGHT & CLEAN  
• NICE THICK VINYL PLAYING SURFACES HAVE LIGHT PLAY WEAR, SOME LIGHT SCUFFS, HAIRLINES, AND A FEW SCRATCHES
• PLAYS FINE AND SOUNDS GOOD WITH LIGHT SURFACE NOISE EXCEPT FOR ONE SCRATCH AT THE END OF "I LOVE YOU MORE..." THAT CAUSES SOME POPS AND LITERALLY AS IT IS NEARLY FADED ALL THE WAY OUT YOU CAN HEAR IT MAKE ONE SKIP TO THE SILENCE BETWEEN TRACKS. OTHER THAN THIS, WHICH DOESN'T REALLY IMPACT 99.9% OF THE TRACK, THIS IS A LOT OF FUN TO LISTEN TO. GIVE IT A GOOD VPIU CLEANING AND I'D GUESS MUCH OF THE VERY LIGHT INTERMITTENT SURFACE NOISE WOULD DISAPPEAR. 

IF YOU COULD GET RID OF THAT LITTLE JUMP IN THE FADE-OUT THIS RECORD WOULD EASILY GET AN AUDIBLE GRADE VG++

OVERALL VG COVER, SOLID VG TO VG+ LP !

NO PAY PAL!
