RARE 1970 ORIGINAL FIRST PRESS HARD PROGRESSIVE EDGED ROCK LIME CAPITOL RARITY
.. PLUM NELLY
Deceptive Lines
USA - lime green CAPITOL RECORDS - ST 692
FACTORY SEALED
Original 1970 first print of an extremely rare LP that was pressed by the lime-Capitol era only once....
So, always been rare... and "used" copies have sold quickly for up to $400+ (you can look it up!) ...so here, a NEVER PLAYED, STILL FACTORY SEALED 1970 FIRST PRINT with NO WEAR (that black cover, forget finding a copy without wear - but here one is!) also NO delete marks and overall in rather pristine condition; flat & square with 4 sharp corners ... mega-rare in factory sealed condition from 46 years ago !
= Original 1970 first pressing by this obscure Texan-based rock outfit who later became known as Mother of Pearl. For the most part the album's strong & solid early seventies progressive/hard rock with cool vocals, good guitar and quite a lot of woodwind, It may interest fans of the progressive/hard rock genre...
Like similar hard to find hardrock Lp's on the rare lime green Capitol label, like Bang! , Head Over Heels , etc.... the lime green label was only in print some 18 months and obscure Lp's like PLUM NELLY were pressed only once. As a result, especially with Plum Nelly, demand has spiraled the value to over three figures even as of a few years ago...
- John E. (Earl) Walker - lead guitar
- Ric Prince - lead vocalist
- Peter Harris - Bass
- Steve Ress - rhythm guitar and vocals
- Christopher Lloyd - drums
PLUM NELLY opened for many famous acts such as Bo Diddley, BB King, Buddy Guy, Jimi Hendrix, The Kinks, Savoy Brown, John Mayall, Fleetwood Mac, Rod Stewart and The Faces, Joe Cocker, Dr. John, Muddy Waters, Terry Reid and notably at Carnegie Hall with The James Gang.
Featuring a series of extended tracks (only one out of six clocks in under four minutes), band originals such as 'Deception' and 'Carry On' are accessible rockers, sporting occasional progressive touches. Lead singer Ric Prince has a decent voice ('Carry On') that fits in well with Earl Walker's chunky lead guitar moves ('Lonely Man's Cry') and the intense hard rocker 'Demon'. In terms of talent, these guys were clearly above most of their competition; a fact made even more impressive given they were still in their teens. Judging by the back cover, these guys look like your conventional hard rock quintet, so the flute solo opening in 'Deception' comes as a surprise. In spite of the progrressive opening, the song quickly picks up speed, turning into a more conventional power ballad. It also served to showcase Prince's voice in a nice context. Drummer Lloyd's sole contribution to the album, complete with Latin percussion and a fantastic Santana-influenced guitar solo, 'Carry On' delivers a nice funky shuffle. As noted above, 'Demon' is easily the album's standout performance. Sporting a great melody and Prince's best vocal, this one starts out tough and simply gets better and better as it goes along.
Yet another strong cuts the bluesy-rocker 'Lonely Man's Cry' contains a freaked-out flute solo at the end. Clocking in at ten minutes, the album's opus, 'Sail Away' features a bit of everything, including sensitive singer/songwriter moves, hard rock segments, Allman Brothers-styled guitar solos, and more whirling flute with a crunching heavyrock opening segment. 'Never Done' is powered by some nice guitar, yet probably the album's most accessible performance, sporting a highly catchy melody. Drummer Lloyd is the song's secret weapon. The band recorded "Deceptive Lines" November through December 1970, and it was released in 1971. Finding a copy (let alone one in decent condition) is a surprisingly tough challenge....
