We have a VPI machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 2/3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers.
We mail all paid orders out once a week on Fridays/Saturdays. Please keep in mind our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule to Monday. We strive to keep our shipping and handling costs as close to actual charges as reasonable. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. Please be aware we have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office.

Includes the hard to find the music lyrics insert
Jack Bruce was not only 1/3 of the virtuoso line-up of Cream and its lead singer, but also the only multiinstrumentist, the group’s main and more gifted song writer and probably also the responsible for most of all the weird arrangements that made the band’s sound so innovative; his partnership with lyricist Pete Brown was kept intact for this album after the Cream’s demise, and above all because of the Blind Faith project which Jack felt as a “betrayal” , he was fully determined to stop postponing the long though about solo album; and although not the 1st he recorded this was the 1st he released;
There’s an underlying Cream feel on this album but it comes only from the songwriting because Jack did all he could to get a very different sound; with that purpose he enlisted the help of Chris Spedding and Jon Hiseman (guitar and drums) who are featured on most tracks; there’s also a horn section composed by Harry Becket and Henry Lowther on reeds, and Dick Heckstall-Smith and Art Themen on tenor and soprano saxes (tracks 1, 6 and 8), and two tracks with John Marshall on drums and Felix Pappalardi on back vocals and percussion; As for Jack he divides his talents between his personality filled vocals and raucous, flashy and sturdy Gibson bass sound, plus pianos, organ, guitars and cellos;
The vibrant arranged tracks 1 and 6 are based on a Blues structure, but have the due twist and great arrangements (George Harrison is the (discreet) rhythm guitarist on “Never Tell your Mother…”) and “Boston Ball…” is a fuelled, psyched Jazz backing and double vocal lines odd and captivating track;
The original “Theme from an Imaginary Western”, Cream rejected and Mountain would later take to glory is also here, a poignant tune where Spedding understated playing reveals itself full with sensitiveness; no flashy solos from this guy but his tasteful licks, fills, arpeggios et al are a perfect counterpoint for Jack’s piano and bass lines and highly contribute to the songs magnificence (also true for “Tickets…” and “Weird of Hermiston”)
On what is probably his most famous song “Rope Ladder…” the ambience is built around a strummed acoustic and great cello lines with Jack playing everything except the drums, John Marshall takes care of; on “He the Richmond” Pappalardi adds a 2nd voice and a double acoustic guitar arrangement gives a swinging feel to the song ;
The longest track is “To Isengard” (otherwise all tracks are shorter than 3:30 minutes which leaves you with lust for more and the impression JB knew exactly what he wanted to “say”) which starts quietly with gentle acoustic guitars (Bruce, Pappalardi & Spedding) in a 6/8 slow feel, and mid way through goes into a rampageous, jagged, free tempo Rock craze with the electric guitar and the bass duelling over scattered drum rolls;
- Jack Bruce: Vocals and bass (all tracks), piano (1-6, 8, 10), organ (2-4, 10), cellos (5), guitar (5, 7, 9)
- George Harrison: Guitar (1)
- Chris Spedding: Guitar (2-4, 5, 9-10)
- Jon Hiseman: Drums (1-4, 5, 8-10)
- John Marshall: Drums (5, 7)
- Felix Pappalardi: Vocals (5, 9), guitar (9), percussion (7)
- Harry Beckett & Henry Lowther: Trumpets (1, 6, 8)
- Dick Heckstall-Smith & Art Themen: Tenor & soprano saxes (1, 6, 8)
