Review by Bryan Thomas, at AllMusic
"Copies of Fresh Air's only album, 1970's A Breath of Fresh Air -- one of the very first albums released on the Amaret label, who issued recordings by the Minneapolis blues-rock quintet Crow -- are highly sought-after and treasured by collectors. Featuring dramatic organ flourishes and flamboyant guitar leads throughout, A Breath of Fresh Air is similar to other organ-driven hard pop groups of the era, including Sugarloaf, Blues Image, and Three Dog Night. The highlight here is the leadoff track, a fast-paced, histrionic discotheque take on Buffalo Springfield's "For What It's Worth" -- by then already a few years old - which features heavy distorted guitar and Marc Piscitelli's intense lead vocals. Six of the remaining tracks were written by the group's "sixth member," Louie Caridi, including "Somewhere a Mountain Is Moving" (taking its title from a line in the Left Banke's "Pretty Ballerina"). Incidentally, this was a different Fresh Air from the group of the same name that featured keyboardist Don Randi (they recorded a self-titled Fresh Air album around the same time, but for Columbia Records)…"
Unless it is a factory sealed item, your vinyl will be shipped outside of its original sleeve/cover, in a record mailer, with extra cardboard filler panels, as well as bubble-wrap, to help insure safe delivery.
I may be a new seller, but have already had some excellent feedback:
“Great seller! Fast shipping, nice thick packaging, LP just as described. Thanks!”
“Great service, and item matched listing. Highly recommended.”
“Fantastic Seller! Super fast shipping! Best packaging I have ever seen!”
“Great seller! Quick, easy transaction. Record is in great shape!”
Bid with confidence!
This, and all listings to follow, will be drawn from my personal collection of 40+ years. Look for more hard to come by pieces in the future!
