1978 - GREGG WRIGHT - KHAMSIN - 12" VINYL RECORD LP - NEVER REISSUED ON CD - THIS IS HIS FIRST SOLO ALBUM - THE RECORD COMPANY OF THE SOUTH { RCS } -RCS A 1001 - READ WHAT I KNOW AND HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THIS INCREDIBLE GUITARIST DOWN BELOW -

THESE DAYS HE LIVES IN CALIFORNIA AND IS KNOWN AS "THE KING OF THE ROCKING BLUES", BUT I KNEW ABOUT AND SAW HIM FIRST IN 1970 FRONTING A THREE PIECE BAND IN MARYLAND CALLED "KRISS KROSS". I WAS LIVING IN PRINCE GEORGES COUNTY AT THE TIME AND HE'D PERFORM IN THE AREA AT PRINCE GEORGES COMMUNITY COLLEGE AND OTHER REC CENTERS IN THE AREA. HIS DRUMMER { WHO DIED A FEW YEARS LATER } WAS JERRY NAJARA. I KNEW HIS YOUNGER BROTHER GARY { ALSO A DRUMMER AND VOCALIST OF THE BAND "JOINT EFFORT"}. GREGG WRIGHT WAS AN AMAZING GUITARIST EVEN BACK THEN DOING VOCALS AND GUITAR IN A THREE PIECE JIMI HENDRIX TYPE OF ACT. GREGG MOVED FROM THE MARYLAND AREA TO LOUISIANA WHERE IN 1978 HE RELEASED KHAMSIN, HIS FIRST SOLO ALBUM IN 1978. IT'S GREAT!! LATER HE MOVED TO CALIFORNIA WHERE HE BECAME THE GUITARIST FOR THE JACKSONS ON THEIR VICTORY REUNION TOUR AND HAS PERFORMED WITH MANY OTHER ARTISTS AS WELL AS RELEASING SOME OTHER SOLO CDS.

I'VE LIVED IN MARYLAND MOST OF MY LIFE AND HAVE SEEN MOST OF THE BEST GUITARISTS IN THIS AREA. IN MY OPINION GREGG WAS THE BEST I'VE SEEN FROM THIS AREA AND THAT'S SAYING SOMETHING CONSIDERING THAT DANNY GATTON, NILS LOFGREN, WAYNE TOMLLISON AND ROY BUCHANAN WERE FROM THIS AREA. I HAVE NO IDEA WHY GREGG NEVER MADE IT AS BIG AS LET'S SAY STEVIE RAY VAUGHN, BECAUSE HE'S AS GOOD IF NOT A BETTER.

SIDE ONE CONTAINS: SEARCHING FOR LOVE - HIGHWAY TRAVELER - KHAMSIN { THE SEARING WIND FROM THE SOUTH }.

SIDE TWO CONTAINS: WHAT'S YOUR NAME { SWEET THING } - POWER PLAY - GREEN LIGHT - OCEAN MORNING. 

SOME EDGE WEAR ON THE ALBUM COVER. SOME LIGHT INDENTATIONS AND MOSTLY CORNER CREASES. NO TAPE. NO SEAM SPLITS. NO WRITING. THE RECORD COMES IN A SEPARATE WHITE GENERIC CARDBOARD JACKET TO PROTECT THE COVER AND RECORD. SEE PHOTOS.

BOTH SIDES OF THE RECORD PLAYED GREAT WHEN I PLAYED BOTH SIDES ENTIRELY THRU ON MY DENON DP-1200 TURNTABLE WITH A DENON MOVING COIL CARTRIDGE. IT'S A NICE SOUNDING RECORD. VISUALLY, MOVING BOTH SIDES OF THE RECORD AROUND UNDER A 100 WATT LIGHT BULB, THERE'S A FEW VERY LIGHT SUPERFICIAL TYPE OF SCUFFS / SURFACE MARKS THAT DIDN'T AFFECT THE PLAY AT ALL. IT'S WHAT I'D EXPECT WHEN SOMEBODY GRADES A RECORD VG+. THE RECORD COMES WITH A HIGH QUALITY TYPE OF PLASTIC LINED INNER SLEEVES AND A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE.
