    IMPORTANT NOTE: I haven't had a turntable since last century, so this sale needs to be considered "as is," but I will describe everything the best I can. This album was rarely played, and I would be shocked if it has been on a turntable more than a few times. I'm not a "record seller," and I don't know "grading," but my descriptions are probably more detailed anyway. If you're not happy after the sale, just contact me. 
    See the other LPs in my store (use the 2nd search box).  Just one shipping charge, no matter how many you buy.  <----------------- Click On My "Rare Vinyl Records" Store Category And Save On Shipping!


ALLEN GINSBERG
The Lion Is Real (LP, 1989) Great Jones GJ-6004 1st Pressing PROMO. Another Amazing Hal Willner Superstar Project.
OUTSTANDING. This one's been sitting dormant on my shelf since 1989. The cover looks like it just came out of the plastic. Shiny and only very minor handling crimps. The vinyl is gorgeous, too, and LOOKS unplayed. With original plastic inner sleeve. You'll be pleased. 
Poet Allen Ginsberg may be on the cover, but this is a Hal Willner Project, start to finish. Willner (who passed last year) was one of the world's greatest producers, famed for his ability to juggle various musical styles and various artists. Willner's rolodex of musicians (from Iggy Pop to Harry Nillson) was second to none, and this album features another incredibly diverse gang of greats, including (among many others)...
Arto Lindsay (guitars) Lenny Pickett (saxophones) G.E Smith (guitars) Prairie Prince (drums) Rob Wasserman (bass) Gary Windo (sax) Mark Bingham (guitars) Bill Frisell (guitars) Steve Swallow (bass) Marc Ribot (guitars)

ALL MUSIC GUIDE REVIEW Recorded in the late '80s, The Lion for Real consists primarily of brief poems set to avant-jazz. Producer Hal Willner has assembled a group that at various times features Marc Ribot, Bill Frisell and Arto Lindsay, and they skillfully navigate the emotional tones and wit in Ginsberg's poems. It's a welcome reminder of his irascible humor and mischievousness.
