Python Lee Jackson . In a Broken Dream . Rod Stewart . 1972 GNP Crescendo LP

======================================= In a Broken Dream   Rod Stewart as   ... Python Lee Jackson ...   Python Lee Jackson's history is confusing on several counts. They're known principally for one big hit that featured a superstar on lead vocals, yet that singer was never even in the band. Not only were Python Lee Jackson a band and not an individual, there was no one actually named Python Lee Jackson in the group. And though they were based in the U.K. when they recorded their hit "In a Broken Dream" with Rod Stewart on vocals as a session singer, they were actually an Australian band.   Singer/keyboardist David Bentley felt he wasn't the right vocalist for In a Broken Dream. Thus Rod Stewart--who had already sung lead with the Jeff Beck Group, but was yet to achieve stardom with the Faces and as a solo artist--was recruited as a session vocalist for the song, as well as a couple of other tracks. For some reason, despite the undisputed quality of "In a Broken Dream," it wasn't immediately released. In the meantime Stewart got on with his career and Python Lee Jackson's personnel continued to rotate. Yet even when "In a Broken Dream" was finally issued in October 1970, it didn't chart.
Python Lee Jackson were continuing to struggle when "In a Broken Dream" broke into the U.S. Top 100 in 1972. Though its chart peak of number 56 was relatively modest, it really took off late that year in the U.K., where it reached number three. By this time, of course, Stewart was a superstar, and the identification of his instantly recognizable vocals no doubt helped land it on the hit parade.   (AMG)

Very Good Plus records will be nice and shiny with only minor surface marks which shouldn't affect the sound

I don't list many items below VG ... but may do so if it's a desirable title ... so a Good Plus or Good may be acceptable if it's the only condition available ...

these two grades will include records with signs of wear, deeper scratches and pops/clicks during play ... still may be worth keeping until an upgrade is found ...
