Description
This LP features the New Zealand "supergroup" of sorts known as Plagal Grind. It features Alastair Galbraith, Peter Jefferies, David Mitchell, & Robbie Muir and is definitely one of the more rocking discs to be released on Xpressway. Seriously awesome record. Here's a pretty good descriptive write up by Trouser Press.
"Galbraith's best work is on the self-titled EP by Plagal Grind, the lone recording issued by a band whose ranks also included Peter Jefferies (originally of This Kind of Punishment, more recently a member of Cyclops and 2 Foot Flame and the architect of a strong solo career), David Mitchell (who had previously served in the Exploding Budgies and the excellent Goblin Mix, and would later co-found the 3Ds) and Robbie Muir (who had played with Galbraith in the Rip). While the Rip's recordings were almost folky, Plagal Grind ups the sonic ante with richly textured electric guitars and loads of reverb, resulting in a shimmering, mystical sound perfectly suited to Galbraith-penned songs like "Yes Jazz Cactus," "Marquesite Lace" and the majestic "Receivership." One of the high-water marks for New Zealand rock."
I believe it was released in a limited edition of 500. The record is clean and in excellent condition. The sleeve is in great conditon as well, perfectly clean with a couple of corners showing minor wear. In the interest of disclosure, I should note that the glue that holds the seams did come apart a bit at one point, though this hardly effects the outward appearance and was easily fixed.
I will be auctioning off a large 7” collection over the next month or two with a bunch of great music. There will also be a number of 12" vinyl records and a few select CDs. Be sure to view my other auctions and check back on future listings…more great stuff to come! This will include indie rock, plain ol’ rock, punk, psych, garage, DIY, experimental, New Zealand / Xpressway, and more. The winning bidder will be responsible for the item price and actual shipping cost. Shipping for international bidders that win an auction will be determined after the auction closes and will be based on the location.
Feel free to send along any questions.
Thanks for looking!
