Umbra LP - THE SHADDOS  (Redeye 26982)

Original 1982 U.S. stereo LP. Here's a decent, way-under-the-radar private, local AOR album from this neck of the woods. 10 original tracks, each one reminding me of a different, well known artist: one track has a strong BTO vibe, another channels Meatloaf, there's a Steely Dan-like number & 2 songs reek of late '70s-vintage Dylan, you get the idea. It's possible this was just a studio project, not an actual performing band. In any case, it's pretty much a complete unknown, I'm only aware of a few copies in existence. Probably a very small vanity pressing, I suspect. This copy has barely been played, sounds MIGHTY FINE.

Disc = EX (VERY HIGH GLOSS - side one has only a couple of faint hairlines while side 2 has more, plus some thin, soft scuff marks - NOT AFFECTING PLAY; plays EXCELLENT, w/ almost NO background noise to speak of; a MOST SATISFYING listen)

Cover = see pix; in original SHRINK; w/ 1 big breathe hole in front shrink + 1 tiny breathe hole in back shrink; however, previous moron owner slit the shrink across the top instead of on the side, like a normal person would - so the top inside flipback was torn when the disc was removed; tiny wear in corners; lite wear + small chipping along top seam; some black spots on back - some are on the shrink itself, some appear to be on the cover; thin split in shrink from top right corner along right edge; any questions?, please ask

Labels = see pix; A-1, w/ only 1 faint spindle mark by center hole (that extends all the way out to label edge on side two)
