Description
PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. Because of that dedication, there should be no need to open a resolution dispute before working with us. Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office. Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our well over 18,000 positive feedback. We use an ultrasonic KLAudio machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so. Thank you for your interest and support. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SHIPPING: USA ~ 1 LP = $4.00 Media Priority rates vary by area; please inquire.

SCARCE FIRST "BLUES IMAGE" LP ~ HARD BLUES ROCK HEADS !
- ORIGINAL 1969 FIRST PRESS ..|/\|...............................................|/\|..
- THE BLUES IMAGE
- ..|/\|...............................................|/\|..
- USA - Atco Records - SD 33 300
TOP COPY! haven't had an available copy for literally 5 years, gotten rare!
ORIGINAL 1969 first pressing...and the first of three good albums by the BLUES IMAGE who scored the excellent surprise hit "Ride Captain Ride" ...
Contains the original printed inner sleeve...
A seriously overlooked gem, even while not top level not outstanding, it is a solid, very commendable first album. The music is (naturally) blues rock, with some Latin flavor, primarily the work of conga player Joe Lala, and some real prog moves, featuring excellent guitar work from future Iron Butterfly axeman Mike Pinera, and quality organ playing. Surprisingly absent from a release of this vintage is virtually any semblance of psychedelic influences. Very consistent though. Guitarist Mike Pinera has a good grasp of various blues styles (he'll play loud, he'll play soft, he'll play hard). Drummer Joe Lala sings on highlights "Take Me to the Sunrise" and "Leaving My Troubles Behind" . Lots of skills and potential for a first album that opened some eyes back then...After 3 albums Mike Pinera left to join Iron Butterfly. Joe Lala became a top session percussionist. This album has never been re-released on Compact Disc
