PREMESSA: LA SUPERIORITA' DELLA MUSICA SU VINILE E' ANCOR OGGI SANCITA, NOTORIA ED EVIDENTE. NON TANTO DA UN PUNTO DI VISTA DI RESA, QUALITA' E PULIZIA DEL SUONO, TANTOMENO DA QUELLO DEL RIMPIANTO RETROSPETTIVO E NOSTALGICO , MA SOPRATTUTTO DA QUELLO PIU' PALPABILE ED INOPPUGNABILE DELL' ESSENZA, DELL' ANIMA E DELLA SUBLIMAZIONE CREATIVA. IL DISCO IN VINILE HA PULSAZIONE ARTISTICA, PASSIONE ARMONICA E SPLENDORE GRAFICO , E' PIACEVOLE DA OSSERVARE E DA TENERE IN MANO, RISPLENDE, PROFUMA E VIBRA DI VITA, DI EMOZIONE E DI SENSIBILITA'. E' TUTTO QUELLO CHE NON E' E NON POTRA' MAI ESSERE IL CD, CHE AL CONTRARIO E' SOLO UN OGGETTO MERAMENTE COMMERCIALE, POVERO, ARIDO, CINICO, STERILE ED ORWELLIANO, UNA DEGENERAZIONE INDUSTRIALE SCHIZOFRENICA E NECROFILA, LA DESOLANTE SOLUZIONE FINALE DELL' AVIDITA' DEL MERCATO E DELL' ARROGANZA DEI DISCOGRAFICI .

CONDIZIONI MOLTO BUONE, vinyl vg, some light surface marks and wears, a large scare along track B1 causing a few light intermittent skips / vari segni e rigature appena superficiali, un graffio abbastanza profondo ed esteso causa alcuni piccoli salti intermittenti a metà della traccia B1 cover vg+, little pencil signature at center of front cover, light ringwear, little damage on top cover, very little red pencil signs and a small black pencil signature on back cover, stamp on inner sleeve / piccola firma a biro al centro della copertina, lieve segno di ring, piccola e lieve abrasione nella parte alta di copertina, firma e segnetti a biro molto piccoli nella retrocover, timbro nella custodia interna bianca .
Gruppo progressive di Birmingham, tanto effimero e poco conosciuto, quanto favoloso e imprescindibile, la loro produzione si limita ad appena un paio di album, usciti entrambi nel 1970, dopodichè i tre componenti appesero gli strumenti al chiodo e ritornarono alla loro esistenza normale di allevatori di suini .Una decina di anni più tardi ne avrebbero raccolto l' onerosa ed ambita eredità artistica i Duran Duran, che vi hanno attinto a man bassa e si sono ispirati a loro in svariate cose, ad esempio servendosi dello stesso benzinaio, utilizzando lo stesso lustrascarpe e rivolgendosi allo stesso spacciatore.

a WB 1970 single extract from this LP
Hard Meat - Their second, and final album, "Through a Window", was released in 1970. Hard Meat (no, their name wasn't taken from a p0rno movie, although they did do a great version of Graham Bond's "I want You"!), were formed in Cornwall in the late sixties by the Birmingham born Dolan brothers, Mick on guitars and vocals and Steve on bass and vocals, together with drummer Mick Carless. Before forming the band, they took on a summer residency as the Ebony Combo at Bude's Headland Pavilion. Changing their name to Hard Meat and adopting a somewhat harder, yet acoustic progressive feel, they were signed to Warner Brothers Records and released a brace of albums, ''Hard Meat" and our featured album, both in 1970. They also released a single, an arrangement of The Beatles' "Rain", before disbanding in 1971. Both albums really are very good - there are one or two covers by the aforementioned Graham Bond, as well as Ritchie Havens and Bob Dylan, but their self-penned stuff is of the highest quality. Steve Dolan later went on to feature with Pete Sinfield (King Crimson) in 1973 and brother Mick featured with vocalist/guitarist John Coppin in 1979. We were pleasantly surprised to see that both brothers also featured on Luther Grosvenor's (Spooky Tooth/Mott the Hoople - aka Ariel Bender) album "Floodgates" in 1996. Both were musically involved on the album, but Mick Dolan was also involved in production. Nice to see that they're still around. Would be really great if they could revive(!) Hard Meat. Now that Viagra's freely available, age shouldn't be a problem!
