The first NIAGARA album - simply called Niagara - was released in 1970 and was noticed even by those unfamiliar with Niagrara's music due to the controversal sweaty breasts album cover. The album was unusual not only because of its cover. It was a purely percussive album on which numerous high-profile drummers from around the world came together; Americans Cotch Blackmon and George Green, Englishman Keith Forsey, Juan Romero from Venezuela and the German musicians Udo Lindenberg and Daniel Fichelscher (who also played in Gila, Amon Düül II and Popol Vuh). Niagara remains a unique, driving mix of jazz, rock and skilful adaptations of African elements, captured in two long epic tracks. The encouraging success of the debut album lead to the follow-up, S.U.B: in 1972. The percussion concept had been revisited and even expanded upon, not the least of which was the impressive instrumentation. The result was no longer as homogeneous as its predecessor, but rather a colorful fireworks display, greatly influenced by bassist Gary Unwin. Returning to the original concept, Niagara recorded a third and final album, Afire (1973), again the brainchild of Klaus Weiss.

·                               CONDITION:

·                               THE RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          THE VINYL IS IN DECENT, VERY GOOD (VG) CONDITION. CAUTION: The vinyl is NOT MINT or NEAR MINT, but is nevertheless in clean, playable condition. There are a few surface marks and abrasions, mostly light and superficial, although some may be longer than 1.1/4 inches (1 inch = 2.5 centimeters) and a few others that might cause short periods of pops and clicks, specially during the low, quiet passages.

(b)          The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(c)           The record comes in a poly-lined inner sleeve.

(d)          Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

·                               THE COVER

THE COVER IS ABOUT VERY GOOD+ (VG+)

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

-        Cover has a slight curly (wavy) warp across the front panel; this has absolutely no effect on the record.

-        Minor shelf wear noted on the seams (nothing significant)

-        Cover has all four corners slightly worn (nothing significant)

-        Cover has a few tiny wrinkles along the seams

-        Cover has JUST A HINT of ring wear (nothing significant); On the scale from 1 to 10 (1 being the least, and 10 being the most severe), we assess the severity of ring wear as 1.

-        The cover has a few tiny scratch marks on the front side (BARELY VISIBLE)

-        Cover has a small stamp on the inner gatefold.

NO OTHER VISIBLE FLAWS OR IMPERFECTIONS ON THE COVER
