ATTENTION EARLY 1970s PROGRESSIVE ROCK COLLECTORS!
SHOCKING BLUE "AT HOME"
(THE BAND'S 1ST ALBUM)
AN ALBUM WHICH STILL SOUNDS FRESH TODAY!
ALWAYS SEEN AS A REISSUE BUT VERY RARELY AS AN ORIGINAL 1970 ISSUE AS OFFERED HERE!
IT CONTAINS THE MASSIVE WORLDWIDE HIT SINGLE"VENUS"AS WELL AS THE SITAR BASED INSTRUMENTAL"AGGA RAGGA"THAT WAS THE THEME TUNE TO THE BBC TV QUIZ SHOW"ASK THE FAMILY"ALONGSIDE SOME HARD ROCK TRACKS,ALL MAKING GREAT LISTENING!
ISSUED IN THE UK ON THE PENNY FARTHING LABEL,THIS COPY IS THE ORIGINAL GERMAN ISSUE ON THE METRONOME LABEL WHICH IS JUST AS HARD TO FIND AND OF GREAT QUALITY!
HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL GATEFOLD COVER WHICH IS LAMINATED ON THE OUTSIDE FRONT AND BACK AND VERY CLEAN INSIDE!
PLEASE SEE BOTH PHOTOS AND NOTE THE SEXY MARISKA VERES-ONE OF THE FIRST WOMEN I FELL IN LOVE WITH(I WAS 7 AT THE TIME!!!)
THE DISC HAS A FEW MINOR/FAINT AND SMALL"HAIRLINE"TYPE MARKS VISIBLE IN STRONG LIGHT BUT HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE WHATSOEVER WITH A LOVELY WARM,RICH SOUND WITH PLENTY OF BASS!
NO NASTY DISTORTION"FIZZ",HISS,NO CLICKS,NO STICKS,NO JUMPS! GREAT SOUND ALL THE WAY!
SUPER THICK AND FLAT VINYL! CLEAN LABELS!
THE GATEFOLD COVER HAS A FEW CREASES,BUT NO WRITING OR REPAIRS AND THE SPINE IS THICK AND EASY TO READ.
A VERY TEMPTING AND REALISTIC £25 START!
NEAR MINT COPIES CAN EASILY FETCH £50++
MY STRICT GRADING IS BASED ON LISTENING AS WELL AS VIEWING THE DISC IN STRONG LIGHT!
A STRICTLY GRADED EXCELLENT CONDITION!
MANY WOULD GLADLY STATE NEAR MINT!
COULD BE A GREAT INVESTMENT ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION!
MOST WERE OFTEN PLAYED ON POOR QUALITY EQUIPMENT AND A FAVOURITE FOR PARTIES TO SATISFY DIFFERENT MOODS AND OF COURSE THE EQUIPMENT USED THEN WAS OFTEN TERRIBLE!
IN 1970 THERE WERE RADIOGRAMS,HEAVY TONEARMS OR WORSE STILL PORTABLE PLAYERS THAT ENCOURAGED THE DREADED AUTOCHANGER SCUFFING ANY RECORD IN SECONDS!
THIS COPY HAS NOT HAD MUCH ACTION AND WELL CARED FOR WITH I WOULD ESTIMATE BY THE SOUND AND LACK OF DISTORTION,NO MORE THAN ABOUT A DOZEN PLAYS ON EXCELLENT EQUIPMENT!
THE TRACKS ARE AS FOLLOWS:
BOLL WEEVIL
I'LL WRITE YOUR NAME THROUGH THE FIRE
ACKA RAGA
LOVE MACHINE
I'M A WOMAN
VENUS
CALIFORNIA HERE I COME
POOR BOY
LONG AND LONESOME ROAD
LOVE BUZZ
THE BUTTERFLY AND I
