Miami Country
Vinyl LP
Very rare Country Rock LP from Irish Showband Miami Country.
Below are some details about the tragic history of this great Irish Country Rock act, courtesy of Wikipedia:
The Miami Showband were one of the most successful and popular showbands in in the 1960s and 1970s. Led at first by singer Dickie Rock, and later by Fran O'Toole, they had seven number one records on the Irish singles chart. In 1975, when returning from a performance in Banbridge, County Down, Northern Ireland, three members of the band, Fran O'Toole, Tony Geraghty, and Brian McCoy, were killed in what became known as the "Miami Showband massacre".

Early Pressing with 'Sample Record (Not For Resale) Sticker on Side One Label
Made in UK
Year of Release 1974
Vinyl and Labels - Near Mint
(Absolutely wonderful, looks barely played, has the sheen of a brand new record, just the faintest of hairlines are noticeable under harsh light. Looks and sounds superb.)
Laminated Sleeve - V. Good
(Front laminted sleeve is in excellent shape, while rear has some scuffing accross top which has slightly rubbed over and faded a little of the text. All the text is still readable and doesn't greatly detract from sleeve's otherwise excellent appearance.)
