Description
FOR SALE IS AN EXTREMELY RARE FIND . A SEALED COPY OF THE CLASSIC VINYL LP "MUSIC FROM THE BIG PINK" FROM THE ROCK GROUP, THE BAND. THIS IS THEIR DEBUT ALBUM , "MUSIC FROM THE BIG PINK". BECAUSE IT IS SEALED, I CAN'T SEE THE MATRIX NUMBERS TO TELL YOU WHAT PRESSING IT IS. IT IS A GATEFOLD COVER. MY GUESS IS THAT IT IS NOT A FIRST BUT PROBABLY A LATER PRESSING. THERE IS A SMALL BULLET HOLE ON BOTTOM LEFT AND A SMALL OPENING ON COVER.
Music from Big Pink is the debut studio album by the Band.Released in 1968, it employs a distinctive blend of country, rock, folk, classical, R&B, and soul. The music was composed partly in "Big Pink", a house shared by Rick Danko, Richard Manuel and Garth Hudson in West Saugerties, New York. The album itself was recorded in studios in New York and Los Angeles in 1968, and followed the band's backing of Bob Dylan on his 1966 tour (as the Hawks) and time spent together in upstate New York recording material that was officially released in 1975 as The Basement Tapes, also with Dylan. The cover artwork is a painting by Dylan. It was voted number 452 in the third edition of Colin Larkin's All Time Top 1000 Albums (2000). In 2003, the album was ranked number 34 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time, maintaining the rating in a 2012 revised list.The laid-back feel of the album attracted the attention of other major artists. For example, Eric Clapton cites the album's roots rock style as what convinced him to quit Cream, and pursue the styles of Blind Faith, Delaney and Bonnie, Derek and the Dominos, and his debut album. George Harrison was also impressed by the album's musicianship and sense of camaraderie, and Roger Waters called it the second "most influential record in the history of rock and roll", after Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, and said that it "affected Pink Floyd deeply, deeply, deeply."According to Terry Burrows, the album spawned the Americana genre, while music academic Chris Smith said its songs laid the groundwork for roots rock music.
