Description

Matchbox's "Slightly Troppo" is a rare gem for collectors of 1970s music, being a first pressing white label test pressing on vinyl.
This LP has never been played and is in mint condition, with a very good cardboard sleeve. Featuring a unique blend of jugband, jazz, and pop, this Australian release by Mushroom Records is a must-have for any music enthusiast looking to add a piece of musical history to their collection. The Captain Matchbox Whoopee Band, also known as Soapbox Circus or Matchbox, were an Australian jug band formed in 1969. It centred on Mic Conway ("Captain Matchbox") on lead vocals, washboard and ukulele; and his brother, Jim Conway, on harmonica, kazoo and vocals. They issued four studio albums, Smoke Dreams (June 1973), Wangaratta Wahine (late 1974), Australia (November 1975) and Slightly Troppo (1978), before they disbanded in September 1980

Made of high quality vinyl material and manufactured in Australia by Festival Records
