Up for bid is a very rare ORIGINAL copy of BILLY JOEL's "ATTILA" LP from 1970 on Epic Records. The vinyl is in VG condition with no scratches. There is slight surface wear and very playable on a nice stereo. The jacket has wear: wavering on the front, spine wear, some corner bends. The bottom of the back right has the paper coming up from the cardboard as well as a piece of tape along the bottom seam.  The inner sleeve is original, though is completely split down one side and partial on the other side. The vinyl is much better than the condition of the jacket. Please see the images. Please email in advance with any questions. Thank you.

Their only album, Attila, was released on July 27, 1970. Attila is often selected by critics and other music journalists as one of the worst rock albums of all time. Joel himself has gone on record as describing the album as "psychedelic bullshit".

End of the sixties, I was in a two-man group. We were heavy metal, we were going to destroy the world with amplification, we had titles like 'Godzilla', 'March of the Huns', 'Brain Invasion'. A lot of people think [I] just came out of the piano bar... I did a lot of heavy metal for a while. We had about a dozen gigs and nobody could stay in the room when we were playing. It was too loud. We drove people literally out of clubs. 'It was great, but we can't stay in the club'

—Billy Joel, Interview with Billy Joel by Dan Neer in 1985

 of  wrote, "Attila undoubtedly is the worst album released in the history of rock & roll - hell, the history of recorded music itself. There have been many bad ideas in rock, but none match the colossal stupidity of Attila."

One track from the album, "Amplifier Fire, Part 1 (Godzilla)," appears on Joel's 2005 , .
