Description
DAVID CHALMERS : Primeval Road LP (River [USA] SRR 1000) 1976.
STILL SEALED. No cut-out marks. Thick gatefold cover.
Sealed second press (River SRR 1000) of this highly regarded moody folk/rock/SSW LP, including tracks exclusive to this version (see Acid Archives review below for more information regarding the difference). Both versions were released at about the same time (circa 1976) and the two pressings seem to be more or less equally rare, in our experience.
"Chalmers is known as a hot guitarist, but his first album is a refreshing departure from the 'guitar hero' mold. His vocals are soft and appealing, the songs are subtle, the guitar playing is terrific (but tasteful and subdued), and the arrangements include plenty of acoustic guitar and piano. At times this is more like a folk-rock or singer songwriter album than a heavy guitar record. The often moody songwriting is as strong as the performances. Highly recommended. The first version of the album starts with two hot guitar rockers that are missing from the second edition, making the softer songs on side two a bit of a surprise. The second edition replaces these two songs with a gorgeous, dreamy ballad that’s probably his best song of all. Since this song comes first, this edition of the album has a completely different feel than the first. If 'Primeval Road' is ever released on CD, hopefully all songs from both versions will be included." -- Aaron Milenski, Acid Archives
