Fraternity (AC/DC Bon Scott) ~ Seasons Of Change 45

Fraternity – Seasons Of Change 45 (orig. Australia MONO Sweet Peach SP 113—1971)

Recorded: March 1971 ~ release date: May 1971.

On offer here is an original issue of FRATERNITY’s third Australian 7” single, with BON SCOTT on lead vocals (pre-AC/DC).  Both sides of this single were re-recorded for the group's second Australian album “Flaming Galah”.  A different (and longer) version of “Sommerville” also appears on their “Livestock” LP.

John Robinson and Neale Johns (from BLACKFEATHER) wrote the CLASSIC AUSSIE ROCK TUNE “Seasons Of Change”, and it is BLACKFEATHER’s HIT version that can still be heard over the radio airwaves (occasionally).

GRADING (also refer photos)

Record:

VG+ visual: beautiful glossy sheen—highly acceptable despite a few surface scuffs on side two (side 1: EX, side 2: VG+); audible: some background crackle throughout, few light ticks as stylus passes over a tiny scratch on side two (MUSIC STILL DOMINATES!); labels: hardly any spindle wear (side 1), light spindle wear (side 2)

MOST DEALERS WOULD GRADE THIS AS EX.  MY GRADING IS BASED ON VISUAL AND AUDIBLE CONSIDERATIONS.

LOW STARTING PRICE, SO BID WITH CONFIDENCE!
