This is one of the great guitarists and vocalists from the 60’s and early 70’s. In fact, he was one of the most highly regarded British artists of the day. When Jimmy Page was just starting to put together his power blues rock/hard rock band, the first person he asked to be his lead singer was Terry Reid. Reid declined and suggested he check out this guy named Robert Plant he had seen perform. At about the same time, Rod Evans departure had created a vacancy in the hard rock band Deep Purple, and Ritchie Blackmore likewise asked Reid to fill the vacancy. Again, Reid declined, leaving Blackmore having to “settle” for Ian Gillan. Reid was very comfortable with his ability to create his own music, and far preferred the California lifestyle. He started recording his own albums and soon moved to California, where he still lives a comfortable, relaxed lifestyle yet today. This was his incredible second album. It is a fabulous combination of rock ‘n roll, blues rock, psychedelic rock, and folk rock. The last track was covered by Jack White on his Jack White’s Blues album. The album was released on Epic in 1973, number BN 26477. This is a reissue of the album originally released in 1969. The vinyl is in beautiful condition with its bright original luster though a just a couple of very light surface scratches that barely impact play. It plays with just very light sporadic background noise. The vinyl grades VG+. The album cover shows light ring wear and light corner and edge wear. All seams are sharp, tight, and intact. There are two ‘X’s written on the back. The paper on the back is just starting to break away from the cardboard along the bottom seam. The cover grades VG.

Grading Information I always clean and then listen to every record I list on eBay. I do this to make sure I can give as accurate a description of each record as possible. I do both a visual check and an audio check. I absolutely attempt to give as objective a grading as I can. I don’t ever want you to be disappointed in the quality of the album you receive.
I use four grades in my grading: NM, VG+, VG, and G. The only exception is a sealed album which is presumed to have vinyl in mint condition. My NM grading means that the vinyl looks and plays as though it is the first time out of the sleeve. The VG+ rating is used on any album that plays great but has one or two small defects. It may have a pop here and there or some occasional background static. On a VG album you can expect that, typically, this album will play great, but you’ll see more defects on this than your VG+ rated album. Most often the VG rated album may even play well enough to be graded VG+, but the color or blemishes drop the grading. Likewise, you may occasionally find an album that looks almost NM but the sound quality just isn’t there. That’s why I play every album first, because this does happen. In this case the vinyl will be graded VG. Occasionally I will list an album with a grade of G. This is one where I consider the collectible value of the album to be great enough that the copy being presented is worth having as a filler copy.
Shipping Information – Combined Shipping The shipping cost will be based on the weight of your package. For Media Mail, shipping is $5.00 in the continental U.S. In addition, I will happily combine records from multiple auctions to reduce total shipping cost. In fact, I welcome it! Shipping will be $5.00 in the U.S regardless of the number of auctions won in any 5-day period.
Canada shipping is calculated based on weight using US Postal Service rates. Combined shipping is also welcomed here and does result in significant per-album cost savings. The first album will typically cost approximately $22. Additional albums will be shipped for $6 per album, with up to four pounds able to be shipped before we need to use International Priority shipping. At that point we will work together on final determination of shipping cost.
Shipments to outside the US and Canada will vary depending on your country. Typically the cost per album will be no more than $27. Combined shipping is welcome here as well, at a cost of $10 per additional album up to the maximum of four pounds.
All albums will be shipped in specially designed album hard cardboard mailers with a cardboard insert to prevent damage upon opening. The vinyl is removed from the cover and presented in a new poly sleeve. I am committed to one day turnaround on shipments. If I receive payment before 7:00 AM Central Time I will package and ship that same day.
Thank you for looking and please contact me with any questions.
