Matrix Information (A Side: Stamped) : ARL-7887-1A | (B Side: Stamped) : ARL-7888-1A
Their only release featuring the original lineup, and, dare I say, clearly their strongest. This will appeal primarily to late 60's British blues boom fanatics. It's all blues rock, some of it hard, and some heavy, but always consistently good. The lead guitar solos from Kim Simmonds and Martin Stone sizzle and the bass from Ray Chappell booms, what more do you want in a blues album? If you like the British Blues in the vein of early Fleetwood Mac, John Mayall or Chicken Shack, don't hesitate ! This is an enthusiastic and thrilling top-notch album.

Grading  (scale: NM > EX > VG+ > VG > Good > Poor)
Vinyl: Excellent. Stunning showing only slight tiny signs of use. The finish is shiny with one hairline which does not affect the listening experience. It plays perfectly and beautifully throughout with absolutely no deterioration in sound (no jumps or pops). The labels are superb, clean and bright without marks. Spindle shows no sign of wear. And the vinyl is not warped.
Cover: VG+. Spine has clear, readable text and top & bottom seams are intact without splits. The bottom seam has slight wear. The front only laminated sleeve has minor creases.The front and rear show light, barely noticeable ring wear. Actual photos so you can check for yourself.

Will combine for shipping if you buy mixed singles and lp's. If you buy multiple items wait for invoice with correct shipping cost.
Records are packed well with extra protection and LP's taken out of sleeves. Double-lp usually works as 1LP but no extra protection.
