Description
A couple of weeks ago I went to a remote NSW town and came across a guy who'd been buying prog/folk/psych/blues/R&B LP's for about 40 years. Relentlessly scouring the area. And he'd never sold anything. Except - on that day, he decided to. And he did. And it was thee best collection I'd seen for years. Let's not pretend everything was mint - it's not - but there's some gems in there.
This below is from that collection (which snuck in a few other genres too).
=====================================================================
ARTIST: GREG SNEDDON
TITLE: "MIND STROLL"
FORMAT: …vinyl LP…
LABEL: MUSHROOM
CATALOGUE #: L-35356
DATE OF RELEASE: 1975
PRESSED IN: AUSTRALIA
ORIGINAL FIRST PRESSING?: Yes, it is...in gatefold cover...
REVIEWS: Sneddon released a single solo album - "Mind Stroll" was recorded in 1974 and released in 1975. A nice and varied example of keyboard driven, accessible symphonic rock, by some described as similar in style to Australian band Sebastian Hardie. Greg Sneddon (Synthesizer - Arp) had been in the music industry since the early 1970’s, working in various bands (Alroy 1974 and Rainbow Theatre 1976). Rare and essential mid 70s piano/synth driven melodic progressive rock, but was never picked up by the radios. With flavours of Rick Wakeman in his keyboard playing and vocals similar to Peter Gabriel, this album is well worth a listen, and a vital addition to any collector’s vault. One could say that this album was a launching pad for many oz progressive rock bands of the 70’s, in particular Sebastian Hardie (aka Windchase).
And this one's a review from the time...from RAM magazine: This is an album by an exceptionally gifted young Australian guy who displays great imagination and skill.Greg writes all the material and plays (here goes:) Acoustic Piano, Hammond B B3, ARP Pro Synthesiser, Mellotron, Clarinet, Spinnet, Fender Rhodes, tootles around with percussion, vocals and a Two Handed Plectrum, for which he composed a concerto.
The title track opens with a drifty chaotic Pink Floyd-ian feel which soon gives way to the gentle voice of Mr. Sneddon singing lyrics a cut above the average love song
The strongest point on the whole album is the final cut on side two "Madman" which is an eight minute long ditty that possesses an amazing number of changes and some superb synthesier playing and production. The lyrics on this one have been prepared with what looks like a great deal of thought to present inherent insanity.
I don't think Greg will be able to produce this album on stage unless he has two sets of hands as there is a fair amount of over dubbing (natch!). The voice of Dayle Alison blends naturally with Greg's keyboards most effectively on "Madman"
I can recommend this record to you, he is streets ahead of any other solo performer in this land. [review by Andrea Jones, RAM #7 May 31, 1975]
CONDITION - COVER: ( VG++ )...has the beginnings of ringwear and very little else to complain about...nothing in fact!...very nice condition...
CONDITION - RECORD: ( VG+[+] )...has the very occasional crackle but a lot of the quiet passages are free of any background noise - again, very very nice condition...
CONDITION - LABELS: (Side One: MINT / Side Two: MINT )...
PACKAGING AND MAILING: Absolutely ALL care will be taken when packaging this - record and sleeve will be separated to avoid any damage in transit, and both will be packed in a sealed outer light plastic sleeve between layers of strong very flat and thick card - I've been doing this for a while and have attained a good safe packing standard.
If you have any concerns about the accuracy of my gradings, please check my feedback for the odd nice comment from some satisfied folk out there.... (and hopefully you may be able to join their ranks).
