ALEXANDER SPENCE, ‘OAR’ ORIGINAL FIRST ISSUE UK 1969 CBS STEREO VINYL LP – AN ORIGINAL FIRST ISSUE PRESSING FROM HOLLAND , CATALOGUE No, S 63919.
A Superb one and only solo album from Alexander Spence Released in Holland in 1969. The Vinyl LP is on the Orange CBS Record Labels, with Made In Holland printed on both labels. As far as I’m aware this album was only ever released officially on Columbia USA, and CBS Holland.
Oar is a 1969 solo album by Moby Grape co-founder Skip Spence. It is Spence's only solo album, recorded over seven days in Nashville, on which Spence plays all of the instruments. Described as "one of the most harrowing documents of pain and confusion ever made", the album was recorded after Spence had spent six months in Bellevue Hospital. Spence had been committed to Bellevue following a delusion-driven attempt to attack Moby Grape bandmates Don Stevenson and Jerry Miller with a fire axe. At the time of Spence's release from hospital, he had written a number of songs that he wanted to record. Producer David Rubinson suggested that Spence record at the Columbia studios in Nashville, where there was a particularly patient recording engineer, Mike Figlio. Rubinson instructed Figlio to keep the tapes running at all times, to record everything that Spence did. The majority of the tracks were recorded using a three-track recorder. Rubinson chose to stay away from the studio, concerned that Spence's recording activities would be distracted by the presence of a producer. According to Spence, the Nashville sessions were intended by him to only be a demo, which he gave to Rubinson with the intent that the songs would be fleshed out with full production for the actual album. Instead Rubinson had the demo recordings released by Columbia. When first released, Oar was not promoted by Columbia Records, despite pleadings from Rubinson. It was at the time the lowest-selling album in Columbia Records history, and was deleted from the Columbia catalogue within a year of its release. This is the rare first issue Folk album with first issue matrices, and Sold in UK Record Label text.
Both record labels are in superb Near Mint condition, beautiful bright and undamaged record labels with just a few centre spindle lines visible.
Side 1 stamped matrix: S 63919-1 and Side 2: S 63919-2 .
Both sides of the Vinyl Disc are in beautiful undamaged Near Mint condition, clean, bright Vinyl surfaces to both sides, there are no scratches or scuffs, with just a couple of light hairlines.
The LP play’s beautifully throughout all the tracks without any faults, with a superb sound quality.
The Vinyl LP comes in it’s original Inner bag which has the running times for each track written in pencil, and is protected in it’s original laminated sleeve, which is in Excellent Minus condition. The sleeve shows light laminate pinches, a couple of small creases, and a small rub mark to the bottom edge. The reverse panel is clean with light age toning.
This is a nice example of this original and rare first issue1969 Stereo Album from Alexander Spence.
