LP MARSHA HUNT WOMAN CHILD ORIGINAL UK RELEASE TRACK RECORDS 1971 CATALOGUE NUMBER 2410 101 .STEREO TEN TRACKS. MONO 3 TRACKS

VINYL IS IN MINT MINUS CONDITION HARDLY ANY SIGN OF SPINDLE WEAR

COVER. THE FRONT OF THE COVER IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. A FACIAL CLOSE UP OF MARSHA IN SEPIA BROWN /BLACK AND WHITE. MARSHA EYES GIVE AN ALLURING UNFAZED STARE. THE MASCARA LIPS SLIGHTLY POUT HINTING AT THE PROMISE OF SOME SEXY SASSY HOT ROCK WITHIN. AND BELIEVE YOU ME THE LISTENER TO THIS GEM OF AN LP IS GIVEN PLENTY OF SATISFACTION.

THE REAR OF THE COVER I SHALL GRADE AS EXCELLENT MINUS. THERE IS A VERY VERY SMALL MARK SIMILAR TO A VERY SMALL STICKER MARK RESIDUE JUST BELOW THE SET LIST OF SONGS FEATURED ON THE LP.NOTHING DETRIMENTAL TO THE GREAT BLACK/BROWN WHITE PHOTO OF MARSHA  LOKING RESPLENDENT WEARING A PATTERNED TOP WITH LARGE DANGLING EAR RINGS PROTRUDING FROM HER FAMOUS AFRO HAIR STYLE.

THE SPINE OF THE COVER IS JUST STARTING TO SHOW SOME FINE EDGEWEAR ALTHOUGH IT IS STILL INTACT. THERE AGAIN NOTHING TOO DETRIMENTAL TO THE OVERALL EXCELLENT QUALITY OF THE ITEM AS A WHOLE.

MARSHA HUNT FIRST SHOT TO FAME IN THE UK AS A MEMBER OF THE CAST OF HAIR THE NOTORIOUS HIPPY MUSICAL. SHE WAS THE SECRET LOVER OF MICK JAGGER OF THE ROLLING STONES AND JAGGER IS THE FATHER OF HER DAUGHTER KARIS. BEFORE MEETING JAGGER SHE HAD A FLEETING AFFAIR WITH MARC BOLAN OF THE THEN TYRANNOSAURUS REX . THEY SHARED A PRODUCER TONY VISCONTI AND ON THIS GREAT LP THERE ARE 3 BOLAN TRACKS. ACCORDING TO THE MARSHA HUNT AUTOBIOGRAPHY REAL LIFE NOT ONLY DID MARC BOLAN CONTRIBUTE SONGS FOR THIS LP HE ALSO APPEARED ON SOME OF THEM. IN THE SAME BOOK MARSHA STATES THAT THE NUMBERS SHE RECORDED AT IBC STUDIO WITH KIT LAMBERT FEATURED PETE TOWNSEND OF THE WHO AND RONNIE WOOD OF THE JEFF BECK GROUP AND LATER THE FACES PLUS FACES KENNY JONES AND IAN MCLAGAN.

ALSO MENTIONED IN MARSHA'S AUTOBIOGRAPHY IS THE FACT THAT ON THE DR JOHN TRACK ON THIS ALBUM WALK ON GILDED SPLINTERS THE KEYBOARD PLAYER IS RICK WAKEMAN LATER OF THE STRAWBS AND  PROGRESSIVE ROCK OUTFIT YES.  THE DRUMMER IS RICKY FATAAR LATER OF THE BEACHBOYS AND THE BEATLES SPOOF GROUP THE RUTLES. WHEN MARSHA HUNT PERFORMED THIS SONG ON TOP OF THE POPS SHE CAUSED A STORM WHEN THE TIGHT BOLERO TOP SHE WAS WEARING ALLOWED HER BREASTS TO BE EXPOSED EVERYTIME SHE LIFTED HER ARMS IN DR, JOHN VOODOO STYLE. AS A SCHOOLBOY AT THE TIME I CAN REMEMBER WATCHING THIS TV PERFORMANCE WITH MUCH ENTHUSIASM. . AND A FEW WEEKS LATER I ACTUALLY CAUGHT MARSHA HUNT LIVE AT THE 1969 ISLE OF WIGHT BOB DYLAN ROCK FESTIVAL..AS MY FAMILY  AND I KNEW MANY OF THE FESTIVAL ORGANISERS I HAD A FRONT ROW VIEW OF HER SET BACKED BY A REVAMPED WHITE TRASH WITH IF MY MEMORY SERVES ME WELL ALAN WHITE LATER OF YES ON DRUMS. SHE WAS MANAGED BY KIT LAMBERT WHO ALSO TOOK CARE OF THE WHO AND HER AND THE BAND USED MUCH OF THE WHO'S EQUIPMENT. THEY PLAYED A LITTLE BIT LATER AFTER FREE. ANYWAY I CAN STILL REMEMBER TO THIS DAY 37 YEARS LATER THE STAGE GEAR MARSHA WORE OR MORE TO THE POINT DID NOT WEAR.SHE HAD ON A BLACK T SHIRT TORN IN THE RIGHT PLACES, TIGHT BLACK LEATHER GLOVES AND A MINUTE PAIR OF BLACK LEATHER SHORTS. DEFINITELY THE FIRST PAIR OF HOT PANTS . A FASHION WHICH BECAME ALL THE RAGE OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS. THE MUSIC OF MARSHA HUNT WAS PRETTY HOT THAT DAY TOO. SHE BELTED OUT THE VOCALS AND STRUTTED HER FUNKY STUFF IN A MANNER THAT MADE TINA TURNER LOOK LIKE A NUN.

THE MUSIC ON THIS ALBUM IS HOT STUFF TOO. ITS TRIPPY ROCKED OUT PSYCHEDELIC FUNK POP. TRACKS ON THIS RARE PIECE OF PLASTIC FANTASTIC ARE AS FOLLOWS

THE ALBUM WAS COMPILED AND SLEEVE DESIGNED BY MIKE SHAW AND BILL CURBISHLEY. THE LATTER HAS BEEN THE MANAGER OG THE WHO FOR MANY YEARS AND IS THE BIG BROTHER OF FOOTBALL MANAGER ALAN CURBISHLEY

ONE PIECE OF INTRIGUE THAT EMERGES FROM THE SLEEVE CREDITS IS THE QUOTE "WITH THANKS TO GEORGE AT APPLE STUDIOS." COULD THIS BE A REFERENCE TO GEORGE HARRISON. HE WAS PRESENT AT THE 1969 ISLE OF WIGHT FESTIVAL THAT FEATURED MARSHA HUNT. HER BACKING GROUP WHITE TRASH LATER CALLED TRASH TO AVOID CONFUSION WITH EDGAR WINTER S BAND WHITE TRASH, WERE ACTUALLY SIGNED TO THE BEATLES APPLE LABEL AND CHARTED WITH A MEDLEY OF 2 BEATLES SONGS CARRY THAT WEIGHT AND GOLDEN SLUMBERS. IF THIS IS AN OBLIQUE REFERENCE TO GEORGE HARRISON DOES IT MEAN THAT HE MIGHT PLAY ON SOME OF THE TRACKS, IN THE MAGICAL MUSICAL WORLD OF MARSHA HUNT ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE,
