Description
A very nice original copy of the first album released by The Way We Live, UK vinyl. The cover is in excellent condition, with a good straight spine, gully legible and very little sign of wear. I will include another good vintage inner sleeve as the original plain one (a typical 1,125,555) has some splits at both the sides and bottom. The vinyl is in excellent condition and plays very well.
John Peel was production supervisor on this album.
Will be carefully packaged and fully insured.
I have selected eBay's global shipping, but I can provide quotes for direct shipping to your country.
"Tractor is an English rock band founded in Rochdale, Lancashire, England, by guitarist/vocalist Jim Milne and drummer Steve Clayton in 1971. Both had been members of a beat group, The Way We Live, since 1966. They are notable both for their appreciation by John Peel and Julian Cope, but also for their longevity because as of 2007, they were still performing. The band was produced initially by schoolfriend sound engineer John Brierley.
In the early days, the main marketing tool of unsigned hopeful bands was to send demo tapes. Accordingly, a tape was sent by John Brierley to Elektra Records part of the CBS group. Clive Selwood was the CBS UK operations manager and he listened to the tape and liked what he heard. He and his partner DJ John Peel signed the band to their Dandelion Records label. Peel had a fondness for Rochdale, having worked in a cotton mill there before becoming a DJ. Clive Selwood came to Rochdale to sign up the band.
The group was booked into London's Spot Studios and finished the sessions within two days, and in January 1971 the band's debut album, A Candle for Judith was released, credited to The Way We Live. The release, named after Clayton's then girlfriend, later wife, earned immediate critical acclaim "...impeccable in both technique and emotion"... Al Clark writing in Time Out in London in 1971."
