THE AZTECS-LIVE AT SUNBURY-MEGA RARE-2LP-TENT COVER PROG PSYCH BILLY THORPE
One of the holy grails of heavy rock/prog rock from Australia, this is the "tent sleeve" edition of the Aztecs double LP "Live At Sunbury".
Havoc Records - NZ Pressing !
If you haven't listened to this record you're missing out on something good. The Aztecs led by Billy Thorpe were playing amazing rock and roll in the early 70's after a stint from legendary guitarist Lobby Loyde that influenced The Aztecs to continue their rock/prog fusion. This double live LP captures this in amazing detail. The tracks sound just as good, if not better than what their UK contemporaries were putting out at the time. "Time To Live" sounds like Deep Purple Machine Head-era, while "Momma" sounds like early Black Sabbath. Throw in their versions of classic early rock tracks like Gene Vincent's "Be Bop A Lula", or the slow-burn 12 bar blues of "Ooh Poo Pa Do" that takes up all of side 4, and of course "Most People I Know" .... Doesn't get much better! Features the keyboardist of legendary NZ psych band The La De Das.
This copy has the limited tent sleeve that is fully intact. Comes with an extra tab that explains how to assemble the sleeve. I'll keep this un-completed for the potential buyer to assemble.
Record condition I would list as a strong VG++ , there is a prominent sleeve scuff on side B on record two. The rest of the sides look great.
The outer sleeve tent is still intact with some slight creasing. The top left hand corner of the tent outer sleeve has some slight damage which knocks to the condition down to a strong VG++. Very hard to find these albums with the tent covers !
Please email me if you have any questions. All vinyl is posted in brand new record mailers for strength and security. The cost of these is included in the postage cost. Please check the other items I have for sale.
