Please read my Conditions!
My only method of cleaning is a soft brush and cloth and some Audio Advisor product. That requires to listening to the LP with my turntable & needle... (Which cost more money these days) and collecting the dust from the grooves. If a stubborn noise erupts, I will then look under a light and microscope. It is quite time consuming. So, I may miss a thing or two sometimes on my listings, like overlook a defect or to over grade; but it is not intentional! I will always be here to help resolve the issue! I am a one man show, while taking care of an elder... That being said... Please play record a few times if I mentioned I have cleaned it and do not use another product until u do so! The enzymes work at eating the debris and play gets better, each time, usually much better If after a few plays you could try cleaning again with your product if stubborn static persists... All I ask is my buyers realize these points and be rest assured I offer a refund policy,  but I would prefer you email me so we can work something out first, I may have a backup copy... I have been collecting records since my 20's... It has been a passion and a part-time hobby, I hope you love and enjoy music as much as I do, and selling is another way to get to know other people with a likeminded interest as I. I offer a refund policy, so please give me the opportunity to make good if there is a problem with a transaction. I reserve the right to cancel a transaction after the sale If I find a missed defect on your behalf. Feel free to compare prices elsewhere you will find I am very reasonable. Don't waste your time if the seller does not listen to the LPs, I have return 100's because of defects. Also please be aware I am A human being, and I do make mistakes! So be gentle and straight forward if you are having any issues, I do not like having debates, I would rather listen to my music!  Happy Hunting!

These Canadian imports have much nice label versions than the American counterparts.

Robin Trower was born in , London, England, and grew up in , Essex. In 1962, he formed a band that became , later including Westcliff High School pupil . The Paramount's disbanded in 1966 to pursue individual projects. During this time, Trower created a local three-piece band called the Jam (not to be confused with ). Trower then joined Brooker's new band  following the success of their debut single "" in 1967, remaining with them until 1971 and appearing on the group's first five albums.

Before launching his  band, he joined singer , ex- bassist/singer , and former  drummer  to form the short-lived combo, Jude. This outfit did not record and soon split up.

Trower retained Dewar as his bassist, who took on lead vocals as well, and recruited drummer  (later replaced by ) to form the Robin Trower Band in 1973. In 1974, the group released . This album, along with his first and third solo albums, was produced by his former Procol Harum bandmate, organist . His early power trio work was noted for  influences. Trower is an influential guitarist who has inspired other guitar legends such as , who praised him for his  and the quality of his sounds and took lessons from him.

In the early 1980s, Trower teamed up with former  bassist  and his previous drummers Lordan and Isidore for two albums,  (Bruce, Lordan, Trower) and  (Trower, Bruce, Isidore). After those albums, he released another album with  on vocals titled  in 1983. Robin Trower was dropped from  afterwards.

Trower in 1975

Trower was also a part of the Night of the Guitars II European tour in 1991, organized by  and  manager . The tour featured , , 's , ,  and .

Thirteen albums later, Trower's album Living Out of Time (2004) featured the return of veteran bandmates Dave Bronze on bass, vocalist  (formerly with 's band ) and  on drums—the same line-up as the mid-1980s albums Passion and Take What You Need.

With the same bandmates, Trower gave a concert on his 60th birthday in , Germany. The concert was recorded by the German television channel . It was then released on DVD and subsequently on CD throughout Europe and later the US under the title Living Out of Time: Live. Trower toured the United States and Canada in the summer and autumn of 2006.

In 2007, Trower released a third recording with Jack Bruce, Seven Moons, featuring  on drums. A 2008 world tour began in , on 16 January 2008. Joining Davey Pattison and Pete Thompson was  (formerly of Gamma) playing bass. European dates began in April. The show of 29 March 2008 at the Royal Oak Music Theater in , was released as a  on V12 Records.

Trower has described  as his "big hero", particularly Brown's early work "where blues is crossing over into rock and roll".

In 2016, he enjoyed a successful tour of the US. On 20 March 2018, Trower played a show at the  in . Ten minutes later (approximately 9:00PM EDT) after playing back-to-back songs "Day of The Eagle" and "Bridge of Sighs", he announced on his microphone that he was not feeling well (he had  symptoms), handed his guitar to a stage crew, walked backstage and collapsed. He was transported by ambulance to the hospital for treatment.

In 2019, it was announced that Trower had signed to , alongside the announcement of a new studio album Closer To The Day. Regarding the album's title, he told , "I'm not thinking about dying — far from it. What I'm saying is, 'If I'm nearer the end than the beginning, then I've got to get going.'" The album was released on 22 March 2019, while its supporting tour was canceled as a result of the .

On 18 February 2022, Trower announced his latest studio album, No More Worlds to Conquer, alongside its title track. The record was released on 29 April 2022.

Equipment

During a 1971 tour with , Robin Trower arrived early for a sound check and found 's  (which Barre used for slide playing) propped up against an amplifier. Trower picked up the guitar, plugged it in, and with a shout that resounded around the auditorium he yelled, "This is it!" "I then switched to Strat" he says. "Up to then I had been playing Les Pauls." Since then, Trower has been an ongoing proponent of the Fender Stratocaster. He currently uses his custom-built Strat (made by the ) which comes in black, white, and burgundy. The guitar is equipped with a 1950s reissue pick-up in the neck position, a 1960s reissue in the middle position, and a Texas Special at the bridge. Other features included a custom C-shaped maple neck featuring a large headstock with a Bullet truss-rod system, locking machine heads and a maple fingerboard with narrow-spaced  dot position inlays and 21 jumbo frets. The Strats he plays live are an exact model of his signature guitar, which is entirely unmodified. For his first two albums, his guitar was  in Standard Tuning . Starting from the third album, he detuned the strings a semitone to an  (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb). It is reported that during live performances, his guitar is tuned a full step down to a  tuning. This long-established practice of detuning may have been prompted by his preference for very heavy gauge guitar strings. Trower's three top strings measure, high E, B and G = .12, .15 and .17 gauge. By comparison, the most common choice of rock and roll lead players is .09, .11, .15. The width and weight of Trower's string set are similar to common acoustic guitar strings, and that weight makes vibrating and bending the strings more difficult, especially with the full tension of a standard tuning. Detuning them a half-step or more lower eases the tension and provides greater control. Trower told Guitar Player Magazine in a July 1980 interview that he recommends every young player try a thicker set of strings. "The thicker sound alone is worth it, but they also help keep you from forming bad habits." (String gauge measurement: .12 = .012 inches diameter).

Trower at the , Italy, in 2005

Trower uses between one and three 100-watt  heads with four to six cabinets on stage. While he usually uses two JCM 800s and a JCM 900, he also links . In studio sessions, Trower uses a mix of amplifiers, such as a Fender Blues Junior and Cornell Plexi Amplifiers models to acquire different tonality.

He has recently been using Fulltone pedals and effects. He favors the OCD, Distortion Pro, Fat Boost, CLYDE Deluxe Wah, Deja Vibe 2, Soul-Bender, and a BOSS Chromatic Tuner. He runs his Deja Vibe into his distortion pedal to get his famous tone. He was given his own signature Fulltone Robin Trower Overdrive in late 2008.

For his 2009 and 2011 US tours Trower was using his Fender Custom Shop Signature Stratocaster into a Fulltone Deja Vibe 2, Fulltone Wahfull, Fulltone Clyde Standard Wah, Fulltone Full Drive, Fulltone Robin Trower Overdrive, and Boss TU-2 Chromatic Tuner into two Marshall Vintage Modern 2466 heads.

On his 2018 tour he used the same gear but through two 50-watt Marshall Plexi Reissue Heads, the 1987X.
