Description
IAN CARR w/NUCLEUS Solar Plexus LP, Vertigo 6360 039, UK 1st pressing from 1971, with the large swirl logo.
VINYL looks UNPLAYED. It plays EXCELLENT plus to MINT minus all the way with very clean sound, just a few odd low key tics here and there. Please listen to the mp3 taken from the actual record here. I guarantee what you hear is what you will get.
COVER is EXCELLENT to EXCELLENT plus, minimal wear to edges and spines.
The Vertigo INNER is EXCELLENT plus.
NOTES: This album is definitely a highlight in the Nucleus discography, and the first one where Ian Carr has complete control over the compositions. As Hugues already stated, this album was written under an arts council grant and according to Carr himself, is based on two themes stated at the beginning of the album. Marshall, Clynne, Spedding, and Jenkins still have a prominent role throughout the album. As stated before, the first track on side one, introduces two themes that would reoccur later on the album. Keith Winter makes an appearance on the VCS3 synth. 'Changing Times' is perhaps my favorite piece on the album; it’s very funky, upbeat, and catchy. 'Bedrock Deadlock' features the great Jenkins on oboe (I have a soft spot for his oboe playing) and Clynne on the double bass. 'Spirit Level' which includes an interesting bass clarinet solo, closes out the first side.
This album is an obvious must-have for every Nucleus fan, as all the early efforts are. This is of interest to any British jazz-rock/fusion fan or really any one interested in getting into Nucleus.
