***LAST COPY = HERE of only two copies in stock... (listed the other last week)

MINT UNPLAYED ... basically was still sealed but seal came apart in storage, = never fully opened / never played and hard to find, as:

RARE long gone/sold out (double Lp) 2nd-press (one of the albums is totally unreleased and available only with this now scarce issue) ... Produced as a triple thick/weight heavy pressing for the legendary US hardrock/prog beast known as "Kopperfield"...  

The ultra-rare 1974 album from the little known Michigan band contains hard driving rock music with loud, screaming guitars, tortured vocals & and lots of organ, with also a good dose of heavy progressive moves along the way. 

This heavyrock album with progressive moves is expertly played and reasonably well produced and it rocks hard enough and the songs are fast enough to give it points for energy. "Nothing Left To Give," with a propulsive rhythm and a strong vocal line, is probably the best song, though some of the more ambitious arrangements (i.e. the slower, keyboard-heavy title track) are also appealing. This scarce 2nd-pressing contains a complete unreleased second album, which has stronger chops, heavier songs, and a more confident sound. For the most part, it's even better than the original album.

Kopperfield formed in 1971 from the ashes of Touch Of Blue, a local trio that released two singles in 1969/70. The line-up above that recorded this album was established by 1972, and they were a popular live attraction for several years before recording, opening for The James Gang, Foghat and Kansas, among others. By 1974 they had become a full-blown progressive rock band. Most of the tracks are fronted by Robinson's distorted organ, which calls to mind early seventies European progressive rock bands like Brainticket or Virus. Typical of the progressive keyboard/guitar driven genre, it is held in high regard by collectors...
