BARELY PLAYED COPY
LOW START PRICE - NO RESERVE!!
For some reason, the second Elf record, 1974's Carolina County Ball, was released under the title L.A./59 in the United States and Japan, while the more widely accepted title was used in the U.K. and Europe. The Ronnie James Dio-led outfit was becoming increasingly entwined with Deep Purple -- Roger Glover was producing the band, they appeared on the Deep Purple-owned Purple record label in the U.K., and the group was working frequently with Ritchie Blackmore -- and their music began taking on a more powerful, more complex, more Deep Purple-like sound because of it. The more or less straight-up boogie rock of the Elf debut was not entirely abandoned for this follow-up, but tracks like "Annie New Orleans" and "Carolina County Ball" have a depth that goes beyond the accomplishments of the group's previous, self-titled offering. Difficult to obtain, this long out-of-print release is a true find for fans of Rainbow, Black Sabbath, and Ronnie James Dio's best solo efforts of the '80s.
THIS IS A SUPER COPY. NO SCRATCHES, POPS OR HISSES TO MESS UP THE SOUND. THE FULLY LAMINATED COVER IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, WHILST THE VINYL IS NEAR MINT. THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE ALBUMS BY RONNIE DIO AND HE'S IN FINE VOICE THROUGHOUT. UNRESERVEDLY RECOMMENDED.
