1968 UK release on SPARK Records (SRLM 107)

 Keith David DeGroot had been on the fringes of the London music scene since the early '60s.  As a teenager he recorded with legendary producer Joe Meek, releasing three singles under the pseudonym "Gerry Temple".  He also did work as a session singer and had worked briefly with Chris Farlowe in the mid-'60s.  By 1967, however, he was out of a gig and feeling depressed.  His friend-slash-wannabe-manager, Reg Tracey, offered to bankroll sessions for an album in hopes of re-launching his career.  DeGroot called on a couple of old friends to help with the project: Glyn Johns (who engineered and co-produced) and Nicky Hopkins (who played piano and wrote the arrangements).  They in turn brought in their session pals John Paul Jones (bass), Clem Cattini (drums), Big Jim Sullivan (guitar), and Albert Lee (guitar).  Sullivan & Lee were not available for the second session, so Jimmy Page -- on break between Yardbirds tours -- filled in.  Everyone agreed to work for minimum wage -- except for Jimmy Page, who did the session in exchange for the publishing rights to the two original compositions on the album.  Classic Jimmy. It wasn't until after the backing musicians made it big elsewhere that the album was finally released in England and America -- although under the title No Introduction...

RECORD COLLECTOR GRADINGS 

MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.

VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.

Plus(+) or Minus(-) may be used from time to time to try to give the buyer a closer idea of the quality of record on offer.
