Description
This is the rare first pressing of the Grease Band’s 1971 first album, ‘Grease Band’ - the Harvest label on the album does not carry the EMI logo added on later pressings (see pictures) and the matrix number SHVL 790 - A3/B4 confirms this (apparently there was no A1/B2 pressing). The textured gatefold sleeve was printed by Garrod and Lofthouse.
This album was enormously influential and the musicians, having served as Joe Cocker’s backing band, went on to stellar careers elsewhere, most notably Henry McCullough’s later move to Wings
The sleeve is excellent ++ with one slight corner rub
The album is excellent ++ very glossy with no marks on the vinyl
I am not a record dealer. Over the next few weeks I am selling off my collection of some two hundred albums, mainly from the 1960s and 1970s (see my other items). These have been stored with care and unplayed over the past twenty years. Before this most were played only on a Linn LP12 deck and carefully handled. None of them are mint (it was a working record collection) but most are in extremely good condition. Many were bought as the albums were released and so are first pressings. I have tried to use the guide to condition in Record Collector as a guide to my descriptions of condition and am also providing other information such a matrix numbers wherever possible. I am also posting a number of photos of each album. If anyone buys an album and feels it has not been accurately described, I will happily refund as long as the record is returned to me promptly in the condition that it left here. I will post albums out, signed for when possible, in the appropriate size of high end record mailer, as supplied by Covers 33 within two working days of receiving cleared funds via Paypal.
Happy bidding!
