Description
PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. In the unlikely instance that you feel the need to open a resolution dispute before working with us, you will immediately be blocked from any further chance to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Please keep in mind our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office.Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has became very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback. We use a VPI machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so. Thank you for your interest and support. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

RARE BRITISH "EMERALD GEM" ORIGINAL LAMINATED ISSUE !
RORY GALLAGHER
(((TASTE)))
In The Beginning
\ UK - EMERALD GEM - GES 1110
TOP COPY
Very RARE BRITISH early 70's FIRST PRESSING in laminated cover ...Recorded in 1967 these are great pre-TASTE Rory Gallagher demos for Polydor Records.
When Rory Gallagher died from complications following a liver transplant in 1995 at only 47 years old, the music world lost one of its most influential and respected guitarists. Apocryphal evidence suggests that Hendrix rated Gallagher above himself: "How does it feel to be the greatest guitarist in the world? I don't know, go ask Rory Gallagher." —Jimi Hendrix quote from 1969 Rolling Stone magazine. This little seen BRITISH first issue delivers recordings by the small English Emerald Gem label that were originally a demo for Polydor Records, from which Gallagher was signed, and founded the mighty Taste. Finally released in the early '70s as Rory Gallagher was on the rise as a star, attracting critical praise and recognition. The album was credited as a Gallagher solo effort, but actually captured the guitarist's initial studio recording sessions as a member of Taste. Recorded in mid-1967, Gallagher-penned originals such as 'Wee Wee Baby', 'How Many More Years' and 'Take It Easy Baby' that were somewhat raw and under-produced, but served as a surprisingly effective vehicle for Gallagher's tasty guitar and bluesy voice (image Clapton after a weekend of solid smoking and drinking). This was straightforward, unadorned blues-rock, but if you were into the genre well worth looking for ... The man could sure play guitar !!! Well worth hunting down...With credit to Bad Cat Records, check out their awesome gear on the web right now!
