Bakerloo   "Bakerloo"

This is an original German vinyl pressing on Harvest 1C 062-90 519  from 1969.  This was their only album.  

The music is hard blues rock with progressive parts by a power trio.     Side Two is the best and should be played loud.     "This Worried Feeling" is extended blues with screaming guitars and thundering bass.      Like The Groundhogs meet Cream on adrenaline.     "Son Of Moonshine" is completely captivating and you won't be able to turn it off.    It's so good it will make you grin !!    The gatefold cover is glossy.

The band is Dave Clempson ( later in Colosseum and Humble Pie ), Terry Poole ( later in May Blitz, and he played with Colin Blunstone and Graham Bond ), and Keith Baker ( later on May Blitz and Uriah Heep ).  

The songs are :  Big Bear Ffolly, Bring It On Home, Drivin' Bachwards, Last Blues, Gang Bang, This Worried Feeling, and Son Of Moonshine.   

Overall Condition is : Cover is M- /  Record is VG

The gatefold cover is Mint minus with no ring wear, no writing , and no seam splits.   There is a little seam wear and tiny bends around the edges.     The Side One vinyl looks VG and it plays VG.    There are several handling marks and light scuffs which play through fine.    But, there is a 1/2 inch long scratch that makes 'ticks'.   It starts between song two and three and lasts into the beginning of song four.       The vinyl on Side Two looks VG+ and it plays VG+.      It has light handling marks from going in and out of the sleeve.      The labels are clean with no spindle marks.  The record comes in a plain white plastic lined inner sleeve.   

About Me :

I started collecting records in 1966.     I started selling in Goldmine in 1985.      I now sell records at all Northwest record conventions : Portland, Seattle, Tacoma, Olympia, Eugene, Grants Pass, and Canby.       And at Crossroads Music in Portland, Oregon.     My records are from a no smoking and no pets home.  

Packaging :

I take great care on every package and I do each one personally.     I will package this record between two pieces of hand cut cardboard.     Each piece is 1/2 inch thick, triple strength industrial cardboard.       Together they are very strong and unbendable.   ( Even the postmen comment on how strong this cardboard is ! )       I always remove the record from the cover and seal them in a clear plastic sleeve.     The package will be marked in red : "Fragile Record" on both sides. 

Postage :  Weight : 1 pound 5 ounces

You have to pay for the postage.     I pre-weigh every record, so that you pay the exact amount the post office charges.   There are no handling charges.     This record will weigh 21 ounces ( 1 pound, 5 ounces ) when ready to ship.   US bidders can figure out your own postage costs for US Priority or Media Mail.    All US winners will get shipping through Paypal and an automatic email with the tracking number.      Overseas winners will get shipping by First Class Mail International.    You will get an automatic email with the customs/tracking number.     I will send your record as soon as you pay ( same day if before 2 PM and next day if after 2 PM : Monday thru Saturday)   I will combine shipping if you win more than one record.      If you do win more than one record, please wait for me to send you an invoice for all of your records in one package.  

Serious Bidders Only :   

Serious bidders only.    If you bid you must be prepared to honor your bid.     I expect payment within three days, but will wait up to five days, if you contact me.      I no longer accept bids from buyers with more than two strikes against them.     I do not hold records to fill a box.
