TERRY REID LED ZEP/DEEP PURPLE=”BANG BANG.. TERRY REID”

42 Year Old Original First Pressing COLLECTIBLE!                         1968 FIRST PRESSING of the first album by the Terry Reid Group, a British guitar trio led by the now legendary singer songwriter Terry Reid who was asked before Robert Plant, to join the newly planned pre-Led Zeppelin and turned it down... here's more:

Terry Reid was still a teenage guitar player making waves in England. Proposed to be one of the next big things at the end of the 60s. By 18 or 19, Jimmy Page approached him with an opportunity to sing for "The "New" Yardbirds." Reid declined, possibly for personal reasons or possibly because he was the opening act on a Stones tour. Reid told Page he should pursue drummer John Bonham and vocalist Robert Plant. The New Yardbirds became Led Zeppelin, Terry Reid stayed a solo act. Later in the 70s, Reid is approached to be the new vocalist for Deep Purple, declined and that title went to Ian Gillian.

Is Reid the ultimate failed opportunist? Possibly. But at the end of the 60s, and into the 70s, the young Terry Reid put out some pretty excellent rock n roll.

The funny thing is the direct reference point to Terry Reid is probably Robert Plant. Especially his first two albums, and especially when the music turns a bit more to the folk-side of things. Otherwise, he has a high voice but not near the shrieking of Plant. Solid hard rock. All his albums are good. Here is the first album with excellent guitar playing...the album establishes his sound. Highlights include "Tinker Tailor"(especially the guitar intro), to the steady, exciting climb of "Something's Gotten Into My Heart", and the fact that no song has been recorded that sounds anything like the crazy "Bang, Bang" which is the definitive version of the song... not to forget both "Summertime Blues" and the powerful catchy "Without Expression". Produced by Mickie Most. The (a) side is Ex while the (b) side has a couple of light marks (Ex-). The corners and spine are tight. The label is Ex and so is the cover.
