Description
Rare U.S. Vertigo swirl from 1971 -- a 'time machine find.' Vinyl is Near Mint to Mint; Sleeve is Near Mint (no ring wear and minimal brown stains inside white gatefold (see pic #3); original inner printed sleeve is the generic advertisement of the time; NO SEAM SPLITS on cover or inner sleeve (amazing for a 55-yr old album)! The LP actually looks un-played. Olly Halsall, later know as Kevin Ayers primary guitarist, shines on this prog-rock classic. In the U.S., ships from OH: packaged securely.
From AllMusic 4-star (out of 5 review): "A driving fiesta of good-time bluesy-rock, Hold Your Fire retains just enough of its predecessor's jazz fusion sensibilities to ensure that you're never sure what will happen next, but similarly imbibes sufficient oxygen from elsewhere on the early-'70s British rock underground to line up alongside any other primal gem of the age. Certainly producer Muff Winwood seems considerably more at ease than he did his last time around, hauling Ollie Halsall's tuneful soloing high up in the mix and framing the album's best tracks -- the melancholy "You, You Point Your Finger" among them -- within some breathtakingly lovely arrangements."
