HARDIN AND YORK - THE WORLD'S SMALLEST BIG BAND - 1970 RARE VINYL ALBUM IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION BELL RECORDS CAT NO: SBLL 136 (STEREO) - MATRIX NOS A1/B1
SCROLL DOWN FOR PHOTOGRAPHS THIS AN EXCELLENT+ FIRST PRESSING COPY OF THE 197O HARDIN AND YORK ALBUM "THE WORLD'S SMALLEST BIG BAND", FEATURING THE FORMER KEYBOARD PLAYER AND DRUMMER FOR THE SPENCER DAVIS GROUP, EDDIE HARDIN AND PETE YORK. THIS RECORD IS VERY SCARCE, AS IT SOLD IN QUITE SMALL NUMBERS - USUALLY ONLY TO PEOPLE WHO HAD SEEN THE BAND AT VARIOUS FESTIVALS DURING THE SUMMER OF 1970, WHERE THE POWERHOUSE ORGAN PLAYING OF HARDIN RIVALLED KEITH EMERSON OF THE NICE. THE VINYL IS IN GREAT SHAPE AND PLAYS WITHOUT SKIPS, STICKS, AND ALMOST UNBELIEVABLY FOR A RECORD THIS OLD, THERE IS NO BACKGROUND NOISE. IT RETAINS ITS DEEP ORIGINAL LUSTRE. UNDER A STRONG LIGHT IT'S POSSIBLE TO MAKE OUT ONE OR TWO VERY LIGHT MARKS, BUT THEY HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO EFFECT ON PLAY. THERE IS A FAINT TRACE OF A CLUB STAMP ON THE SIDE ONE LABEL, BUT IT IS HARDLY NOTCEABLE. SIDE TWO LABEL IS UNMARKED AND IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE TEXTURED GATEFOLD GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE, STILL RIGID, WITHOUT CREASING OR STICKERS. . THE INNER GATEFOLD IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE WITH NO DIRT, WRITING OR MARKS. THERE IS SOME MINOR SCUFFING TO THE SPINE( SEE PHOTOS), BUT IT REMAINS INTACT, FULLY READABLE AND RIGID. THERE IS A VERY FAINT (HARDLY VISIBLE) RESIDUE OF A CLUB NAME STAMP ON THE FRONT COVER. THE INNER SLEEVE IS PLAIN WHITE PAPER. EXCELLENT COPY OF A RARE CLASSIC. ============================================= Postage and packing: All records will be posted in brand new heavy duty mailers, or boxes for multiple items.
