Description
1979 - PIERRE MOERLENS GONG - USA ARISTA RECORDS DJ PROMO COPY 12" VINYL RECORD LP - INCLUDES AN 8X10 PROMO PHOTO AND A 3 PAGE ARISTA RECORDS BIO AND RECORD INFORMATION PAGES - ARISTA RECORDS - AB 4219 - AFTER FOUNDING MEMBER DAEVID ALLEN LEFT GONG IN 1975, THE BAND STILL HAD A CONTRACT TO RECORD 2 ALBUMS FOR VIRGIN RECORDS. SO GONG'S DRUMMER PIERRE MOERLENS TOOK OVER THE GROUP, FOUND SOME OTHER MUSICIANS AND RELEASED THE ALBUMS EXPRESSO 1 + 2. THEN HE CHANGED THE NAME TO PIERRE MOERLEN'S GONG AND RECORDED THIS ALBUM WITH GUEST MUSICIANS MICK TAYLOR AND STEVE WINDWOOD. ALSO WHEN PIERRE TOOK CONTROL OF THE BAND IT MOVED MORE IN A JAZZ ROCK DIRECTION. HE WAS A DRUMMER / PERCUSSIONIST SO THERE'S PLENTY OF DRUMS / PERCUSSION ON THEIR SONGS. THEY DO A REALLY GOOD VERSION OF SANTANA'S JIN-GO-LO-BA ON THIS ALBUM. THIS IS THE ORIGINAL USA PROMO COPY. THERE WERE NO PROMO LABELS ISSUED. JUST A DJ PROMO STICKER ON THE COVER AND A CUT CORNER. THE RECORD SOUNDS GREAT. NO SCRATCHES. A FEW FAINT HAIRLINES AND SCUFFS IF YOU MOVE THE SIDES AROUND UNDER A LIGHT. THE ALBUM INCLUDES THE ORIGINAL PAPER PHOTO AND RECORD INFORMATION INNER SLEEVE THAT HAS SOME SEAM SPLITS AND OF COURSE A CUT CORNER. HOWEVER THE RECORD NOW ALSO INCLUDES A PLASTIC INSIDE OF PAPER TYPE OF INNER TO AVOID ANY SCUFFS IN THE FUTURE. THE ALBUM COVER ALSO HAS A CUT CORNER AND SOME WEAR. THE COVER LOOKS IN PHOTOS LIKE IT HAS HEAVY RING WEAR, BUT THAT CIRCLE IS JUST THE OUTLINE OF THE ROUND GONG IN THE PHOTOS. SO LIGHT RING WEAR THAT SORT OF BLENDS IN WITH THE PHOTO OF THE GONG. THERE'S SOME SPINE AND A LITTLE EDGE WEAR, BUT I DON'T SEE ANYPLACE WHERE THE CARDBOARD SEAM HAS SPLIT. NATURALLY IT HAS THAT PROMO CUT CORNER. THE PROMO PHOTO IS AN AUTHENTIC GLOSSY PHOTO, NOT A COPY OR SCAN. NOTHING WRITTEN OR PRINTED ON THE BACK. THE 3 PAGE RECORD INFORMATION AND BIO PAGES ARE STAPLED TOGETHER IN THE UPPER RIGHT CORNER WITH ONE STAPLE THAT'S STARTED TO DEVELOP A LITTLE RUST. NO BIG DEAL. IT ALL COMES IN A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE. CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS.
