Description
THE NICE Elegy 1971 UK CHARISMA 1st PRESS - MINT
THE NICEElegy
UK CHARISMA (CAS 1030) FIRST PRESSING (April 1971)
AN OUTSTANDING ORIGINAL COPY - LOOKS UNPLAYED
"Hang On To A Dream" & "America" were recorded December 1969 at Fillmore East, New York
PRESSED WITH THE FIRST ISSUE CHARISMA PINK SCROLL LABELS
MATRIX: CAS 1030 A-1U / CAS 1030 B-1U
THE RECORD IS HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL GATEFOLD SLEEVE "Printed and made by the E. J. Day Group, London and Bedford”
COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE
Comprised of songs cut during the final 13 months of the Nice's existence, Elegy is a must-own title for fans of Keith Emerson, offering his finest jazz piano on "Hang On to a Dream" ever to get a legal release, and showcasing his organ playing on unique and beguiling arrangements of Tchaikovsky and Dylan material, and ending with a live version of the Nice's showstopper, "America."
Side 1:
Hang On To A Dream (12:43)
My Back Pages (9:12)
Side 2:
3rd Movement Pathetique Symphony (7:05)
America (10:27)
LABELS: MINT
An immaculate set of labels - no spindle traces or signs of play
VINYL Visual: MINT/NEAR MINT
Both surfaces shine like new - some storage marking/blush on the edge of Side Two - superficial and audibly harmless
VINYL Audio: MINT/NEAR MINT
Plays as-new throughout - a couple of tiny one-off ticks noted - absolutely nothing really - barely worth a mention - but I did not clean this copy as it looks immaculate so this will no doubt disappear after a clean/few spins
SLEEVE: VERY GOOD+
Good and solid - slight edge wear, non-damaging sticker residue to top front corner and a touch of storage ring to the back - nothing major - nice example
