The Good Earth
It's Hard Rock And All This
Saga FID 2112
Very rare UK album by the Good Earth, a band who was actually the Mungo Jerry in an early incarnation. A wonderful copy, with minimal defects, music was defined ad garage flavored R&B and blues rock, with some mild punk flavor on selected tracks and soulish vocals.
Here are some words from Wikipedia about this LP:
Ray Dorset and Colin Earl had previously been members of The Good Earth.Bassist Dave Hutchins left to join Bobby Parker's band and the drummer was dismissed so Dorset and Earl decided to fulfil the one remaining gig, an Oxford University Christmas Ball in December 1968, as a three-piece with Joe Rush, one of Dorset's work colleagues on double bass. Also on the bill was Miller Anderson making his debut as a singer and guitarist, and Mick Farren and the Social Deviants. Though booked for only one set, Good Earth were asked to perform another after the bands had finished, playing a selection of American folk/blues/skiffle/jug band music from Lead Belly, Woody Guthrie and others, and some of Dorset's songs.
The trio played more gigs and landed a regular slot at the Master Robert Motel in Osterley, Middlesex, where they soon built up a following, including banjo, guitar and blues harp player Paul King, who eventually joined the band, making it a four-piece.
After Rush left, Mike Cole was recruited on double bass, and this line-up recorded the first seventeen Mungo Jerry tracks which made up the first album and maxi-single including "In The Summertime". When they made their national debut at the Hollywood Festival Rush joined them on stage for some numbers to play washboard. The record topped the UK Singles Chart for seven weeks, made No. 1 in 26 countries around the world and to date has sold around 30 million units.
I have many more records for sale, just let me know if you are interested! I lead an online shop in Italy and I'm a professional records dealer. 
CONDITIONS: ex+/vg+ from strict Record Collector grading (cover graded first) Cover is really nice and clean, exactly as it is depicted in the photos, very nice perfectly readible spine still complete with original vg+ inner. Most dealers would call it a MINT- Disc is nice, have been played, I'd call it a strongvg+, plays great, bright and clean. Not one of those unplayed ones but so beautiful. A nice original british copy for a very realistic price!

Please read: Records are sent bt registered, tracked, mail through dutch post (postNL) Shipping is fast and reliable, much better than italian post. Anyway I kindly ask you not to open a case if a disc is not delivered in 10 days, please write me before asking for details. Allow me to say that if you just ask eBay to receive tracking details on one item my funds are immeduately blocked! In 30 years experience I have have had very little, if any, experince of lost items and anyway, if anything is really lost I will professionally refund. Thank you for your comprehension. Alessandro
