VERY RARE guaranteed Original 1967 first pressing with old '60s styled "flipback" seams - only released in Europe by the lead voice of the incredible Dutch OUTSIDERS ... his first and only solo album ... haven't seen a copy in many years ...

Recorded in the summer of 1967, at the height of The Outsiders' Dutch popularity, this unconventional solo album finds Wally Tax abandoning raw rock and roll for a lush, romantic set of ballads. Only released in Holland and Germany at the time, it has gone on to become a considerable rarity,   Wally Tax is justly known mostly for his work as the lead singer of the Outsiders, Holland's finest 1960s band (and indeed a good candidate for one of the finest 1960s bands to emerge from any non-English-speaking country). In 1967, while the Outsiders were still at their peak, he started a side career as a soloist who saw the release of one LP, Love-In, as well as a couple of non-LP singles. Love-In is a curious affair, not least because the Outsiders were known for pretty raw, almost punky hybrids of British Invasion R&B, pop, and folk-rock, paced by Tax's oft-raunchy vocals. By contrast, Love-In is a gentle, highly infectious album that grows by leaps and bounds the more the listener becomes familar with the self penned tunes...even if a more subdued pop-rock style to Tax's singing and songwriting. Tax sings in a rather lower and warm style than he used on the oh so strong - not a bad cut on the album occasionally even vaudevillian. Highlight tracks include the wonderful "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me," which is an entirely different song than the Dusty Springfield song of the same title, and "You Didn't Call Me"both killer melodramatic standouts in that respect. Other tunes, like "Last Night" and "It's Not Important to You," aren't that different from his smooth Outsiders outings, except for employing much gaudier arrangements which you may well come to enjoy, as we do. At its best, it emplys a compelling and engaging melodic moodiness. It's worth seeking out by Tax/Outsiders fans, and it's quite rare   You Don't Have To Say You Love Me

CONDITION: The cover: Very fragile delicate and colorful cover with "flipback" seams is in VG(+) condition due to minor wear around the edges (not bad) and a word at top right corner ...the back cover is VG+(+)...altogether not bad since front and back are acceptable   ... no split seams ...

The vinyl: unfortunately there are scuffs and light hairlines so visibly is VG however the deep groove pressing plays very well throughout with only minor surface in places ... for certain  due to rarity the album is a collection keeper and enjoyable...

 

A GREAT ADDITION TO ANYONE'S COLLECTION !
