BRIAN AUGER, JULIE DRISCOLL AND THE TRINITY Open 1967 UK MARMALADE MONO Nr MINT

BRIAN AUGER, JULIE DRISCOLL AND THE TRINITY
Open

UK MARMALADE (607 002) FIRST *MONO* PRESSING (November 1967)
OUTSTANDING ORIGINAL COPY - BARELY, IF EVER PLAYED

Side One is devoted to primarily instrumental material featuring Brian Auger, while Side Two is far more soul-rock-influenced with vocal tracks spotlighting Julie Driscoll.
It was consistent with the multi-dimensional aesthetic that Julie Driscoll, Brian Auger & the Trinity promoted, but it must have confused and perhaps even put off fans attracted to the act by the hit single "This Wheel's on Fire."
For open-minded pop fans of that time or future eras, however, it's a quite interesting blend of rock, blues, soul, and a little psychedelia.
Auger's own brand of heavily Jimmy Smith-influenced organ soul-jazz dominates the first five tracks -- in fact, "In and Out" is a cover of a tune by Smith's sometime duo partner, guitarist Wes Montgomery.
Vocal soul comes far more to the forefront on the Driscoll-driven songs, and while some of them are credible British blue-eyed soul with prominent organ, the Auger-Driscoll original "A Kind of Love In" and the drawn-out cover of Donovan's "Season of the Witch" move effectively into groovier psychedelic territory.

This barely, if ever played copy delivers stunning sound throughout with practically nothing to fault - just a touch of low-level background on some of the quietest moments - nothing really and I did not clean this copy as it looks so immaculate so this will no doubt disappear after a clean/few spins otherwise, flawless with a crisp, bright and fresh, loud and immediate *MONO* cut - an exceptional example
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT+
This matt MacNeill Press cover is clean and sharp with little to fault - a faint inscription from the original owner on the top edge but it’s barely noticeable
