TITLE:                "COLIN COOK AND THE STRANGERS" 
FORMAT:             …vinyl LP…
LABEL:                  W&G     .
CATALOGUE #:  WG-25/1850

YEAR OF RELEASE:  1965
PRESSED IN:       Australia   .

ORIGINAL FIRST PRESSING?  Yes!... 

Colin takes up the whole of Side One, backed by the Strangers (who were Roy Orbison's touring band here), and it's brilliant 1956/57 Elvis Presley sound - great hiccupping rockabilly mixed with some fine Presley-ish ballads...Side Two is devoted to the Strangers themselves, and features them moving away from that 50's sound (in that they cover a Beach Boys, and a Beatles song), and is mostly tough beat/garage stuff, with a few raunchy Fendermen/Link Wray style guitar instrumentals...not a bad note on the whole thing...it's a truly superb album...AND...you probably won't find a better copy than this...

CONDITION:

COVER: (EX-) ...small seam split at bottom...price written in top left corner of back cover (small and neat - on the flap)...PLEASE NOTE: that's just the sun reflecting on the top of the front cover - all lettering there is perfectly clear and complete!!

VINYL: (EX-)...has a few light scuffs only...it's in stunning condition...plays so well ! ...labels are clean!!

If you have any concerns about the accuracy of my gradings, please check my feedback for the odd nice comment from some satisfied folk out there.... (and hopefully you may be able to join their ranks).

You can pay in US$'s or UK pounds or Australian dollars.

Thanks for considering this item. Best of luck if you decide to bid...Cheers, Jules.
