CHICK SHANNON/LAST EXIT - 'TEARS ON THE CONSOLE, (SWEAT ON THE STRINGS)' - STEREO VINYL LP - HOLYGROUND - HGS 120 - 1975
Description
A 33 1/3 RPM stereo vinyl LP, 'Tears On The Console, (Sweat On The Strings)' by Chick Shannon/Last Exit
http://therockasteria.blogspot.com/2013/10/chick-shannon-and-last-exit-band-tears.html
The album was released in 1975 on the Holyground label.
Recorded at Holyground Studio, Wakefield, West Yorkshire in 'late' 1975 and released in the same year.
'Chick Shannon' was Steve Channing and 'Last Exit' were the band Lazy Days.
The album was recorded just before Holyground Studio closed in 1975 and was an opportunity to record some of Steve Channing's songs (plus some he would write later with Mike Levon).
All songs were written by Steve Channing*, Mike Levon ** or Channing and Levon*** (see track listing)
Musicians:- "Chick Shannon" (Steve Channing), vocals and acoustic guitar; "John 'Basic' Priestley" (Dave Wilson), lead guitar, guitar, steel guitar and vocals, "Zeppo Van Heere" (Mick Spurr), organ, synthesiser and vocals, "Tom Viking" (Alan Robinson), bass, guitar and 12-string guitar and vocals, "Clayton W. Weste" (John Shepard), drums. "Kumsi" (Chris Coombs) provided vocals and harmonica on tracks 6,8 & 9
Produced by Steve Channing and Mike Levon, engineered and remixed by Mike Levon/Len Shannon (Mike LEvon)
The sleeve design and artwork was by Mike Levon. It's a reversed sleeve with track listing and credits etc. on the front and the cover on the back (alternatively you could view it as a left-hand opening).
NB. This is the original 1975 release, which had a limited issue of 100-120 copies and was for 'demonstration and promotional purposes only'. This is indicated by the absence of the slanting type on the bottom right of the back cover stating "HOLYGROUND IS AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES ORGANISATION this cover is for left-handed people".
This LP originally should have included a hand-stapled A4 booklet. This is missing.
For further detailed information see the 'Holyground' website at https://www.holyground.co.uk/tears/
I think this was originally released without an inner sleeve, I've included a replacement for extra protection.
