Description
1978 - GONG - EXPRESSO 2 - USA ARISTA RECORDS USA TEST PRESSING LP - AB 4204 - AFTER FOUNDING MEMBER GUITARIST 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 MOERLENS GONG. ON THIS ALBUM PIERRE GOT SOME REALLY GOOD GUITARISTS TO TAKE DAEVID ALLEN'S PLACE. MICK TAYLOR AND THE INCREDIBLE ALLAN HOLDSWORTH. ALSO WHEN PIERRE TOOK CONTROL OF THE BAND IT MOVED MORE IN A JAZZ ROCK DIRECTION. HE WAS GONG'S DRUMMER / PERCUSSIONIST, SO THERE'S PLENTY OF DRUMS / PERCUSSION ON THEIR SONGS. BOTH SIDES SOUND GREAT. NO POPS, NO CLICKS, NO SKIPS AND NO OVERPOWERING SURFACE NOISE. A COUPLE FAINT HAIRLINES THAT YOU NEED TO MOVE THE RECORD AROUND UNDER A LIGHT TO SEE ON SIDE 1. DON'T SEE ANY ON SIDE 2. THERE'S A FEW AGE SPOTS THAT LOOK LIKE SMUDGES. THE RECORD COMES IN A GENERIC WHITE CARDBOARD JACKET THAT SOME YELLOWING AND SOME CLEAR TAPE ON THE SEAMS, IF ANYBODY REALLY CARES ABOUT GENETIC ALBUM COVERS. ORIGINALLY THE RECORD CAME IN A PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE THAT I PUT BACK INSIDE THE COVER, AND AFTER PLAYING BOTH SIDES ALL THE WAY THRU PUT IN A BRAND NEW ANTI-STATIC COLLECTOR'S TYPE OF INNER SLEEVE AND A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE OVER THE ALBUM COVER. CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS.
SIDE 1 CONTAINS: HEAVY TUNE - GOLDEN DILEMMA - SLEEPY.
SIDE 2 CONTAINS: SOLI - BORING - THREE BLIND MICE.
