Description :
Here is a excellent and now quite difficult to find original Aussie 1st pressing issue of this classic semi-prog rock album from The La De Da’s featuring Kevin Borich at his best.
A much sought after ‘classic’ LP for fans that is sure to slot neatly into your collection.

Album Reviews :
The group pulled out all stops, and Kevin Borich was already firmly entrenched as Australia's guitar hero supremo. Their first album in five years, Rock & Roll Sandwich, remains a classic rock album …
By mid-year, the band were being hailed as Australia's leading live act and Borich's was widely regarded as our pre-eminent guitar hero. With the new lineup firing on all cylinders Kevin was impatient to record a new album, but EMI were less than enthusiastic. To pressure them, Borich instructed manager Michael Chugg to get the band out of their contract. The ploy worked, and EMI reluctantly agreed to a new record in September. But the first sessions at EMI's studios were deemed unsatisfactory by the band and all but two tracks were scrapped. According to Glenn A. Baker, the main stumbling block was that Kevin couldn't get a guitar sound that was anywhere near his live sound, so Rod Coe solved the problem by installing a portable 8-track recording rig and JBL monitors in the Green Elephant and recording them there. Kevin swapped his familiar Gibson for a Fender Stratocaster and, as Glenn Baker charmingly puts it " ... the whole album went down like a sinker off a pier, in just two days." Back at EMI, they overdubbed Kevin's piano parts, added some tasty backing vocals by Renee Geyer and Bobby Marchini and horns by Don Reid. The result was the brilliant Rock'n'Roll Sandwich, which Baker rightly lauds as "one of Australia's finest rock albums, a fiery, cohesive work dominated by the superbly talented Kevin Borich and carried off by the reliable gutsiness of Peel and Barber."

Condition:
VINYL : Glossy throughout, virtually un-marked and it tracks through sweetly both sides without any lead-in hiss, pops crackles or intrusive background noise…. a real gem !! This record has been carefully looked after, played sparingly and is Rated EX … probably a touch better really. Pressed on ‘thick as a brick’ 132 gram vinyl and comes in it’s original paper inner sleeve.

LABEL : Both labels are clean with no spindle marks.

JACKET: The gate-fold cover here could be in better shape though still quite reasonable all the same. No writing or splits though there is some dampening evidence along the bottom however this is far out-weighed by the terrific condition of the record and overall it still presents most acceptably.

Track Listing :
The Place ~ To Get Enough ~ Temple Shuffle ~ She Tell Me What To Do ~ No Law ( Against Having Fun ) ~ Searchin’ ~ Who's The One You Love.
