COVER/VINYL VG+/NM- THE DEVIL'S ANVIL   -    COLUMBIA MONO CL 2664. COVER HAS LIGHT RING WEAR. THIS IS THE ORIGINAL PRESSING AND VERY RARE IN MONO. VINYL LOOKS AND PLAYS NEAR NEW. A SUPERB COPY!


The Devil's Anvil was a hard rock/psychedelic band based out of New York City in the 1960's. They released on album entitled Hard Rock From the Middle East in 1967 showcasing a mix of 60's hard rock and psychedelic sound with Arab vocals and traditional instrumentals.

Their middle-eastern acid-rock was unique and bizarrely modern (it predates the British transglobal-dance bands by about 30 years). The fuzzed-out guitar mingled with oud, bouzouki, tamboura, durbeki.

Instrumental in the band's formation was producer Felix Pappalardi, who helped sign them with Columbia Records.

It was in 1966, while hanging out in the Village that he chanced upon a group of Middle Eastern-born or -descended musicians, playing at a coffee house called Feejon. Pappalardi began playing with them, and eventually they became the unofficial house band at Feejon -- the core members of the group, which took the name The Devil's Anvil, were Steve Knight (rhythm guitar, bass, bouzouki), Jerry Satpir (lead guitar, vocals), Elierzer Adoram (accordion), and Kareem Issaq (oud, vocals). Knight and Pappalardi developed a good working relationship, trading the bass and guitar spots during the recording of the group's one album, Hard Rock from the Middle East, which set the stage for their subsequent team-up together in Mountain. Unfortunately for Devil's Anvil, their album was released during escalating tensions between Israel and neighboring Arab countries and the Six Day War, or the Arab-Israeli War, in 1967. Subsequently, radio stations would not touch the album because of its controversial sound. MONEY BACK IF NOT SATISFIED (SHIPPING NOT REFUNDED).  I WILL SHIP MULTIPLE ITEMS TOGETHER. PLEASE WAIT FOR A COMBINED INVOICE WITH SHIPPING DISCOUNT. I USE NEW RECORD MAILERS WITH INSERTS AND ALWAYS SEPARATE THE VINYL FROM THE SLEEVE TO AVOID DAMAGE DURING SHIPPING.  PLEASE CHECK MY OTHER LISTINGS AND EBAY STORE FOR MORE GREAT RECORDS. I DO NOT USUALLY HAVE TIME TO LISTEN TO EVERY RECORD IN ITS ENTIRETY. I GRADE CONSERVATIVELY BY VISUAL INSPECTION AND DROPPING THE NEEDLE IN A FEW RANDOM SPOTS TO GET AN IDEA OF HOW THE RECORD PLAYS.  I AM A LIFE LONG VINYL ENTHUSIAST AND COLLECTOR AND I WILL TREAT YOU THE WAY I WOULD WANT TO BE TREATED BY A SELLER.  EXPECT ACCURATE DESCRIPTIONS, PROFESSIONAL PACKAGING, TIMELY SHIPPING (OFTEN SAME DAY AS PAYMENT RECEIVED), AND INTERESTING RECORDS! BID WITH CONFIDENCE!
