$

50

Artist:  MOLLY HATCHET                

Title:  “Flirtin’ With Disaster”

Label:  EPIC RECORDS.  Stereo pressing on medium weight vinyl.  Labels are blue with silver text.  Catalog number is JE 36110. 

NOTE:  This album came from the extensive personal collection of an individual who was co-owner of a chain of record stores in the Virginia-Washington DC area back in the 70s, until approximately 1985 when he sold his interest in the business, packed his collection away and went into the real estate business.  In February of this year I purchased his entire personal collection consisting of several thousand LPs, posters, t-shirts, buttons, and a few in-store promotional display items.  There were perhaps 2 dozen signed LPs altogether, including ones by Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Depeche Mode, Danny Gatton, and Bill Wyman, which were in all likelihood done at the time of visits/concerts in the DC area and perhaps in conjunction with an in-store visit or while attending a concert with a backstage pass.  Knowing the source, I can absolutely guarantee its authenticity with a full return privilege if you are not satisfied.

Condition: 

DISC:  Vinyl is gorgeous NM, a beauty!  The playing surface is immaculate, with a high luster, played a small number of times and handled with care.  Plays beautifully with superb fidelity.  Labels are clean and pristine. 

JACKET:  Jacket is NEAR MINT with clean and bright panels.  Nice seams and spine.  Front panel has 3 signatures, believed to be Jimmy Farrar, Bruce Crump & Banner Thomas.  Overall, a beautiful jacket worthy of display.

Paper inner sleeve with lyrics is in top condition.

Review:

“By the time Flirtin’ with Disaster reached stores, the Hatchet were already bona fide forces to be reckoned with on the Southern rock circuit, with a fan base nearly on par with contemporaries like Skynyrd and the Allmans (who they covered on their eponymous debut LP).  With a Frank Frazetta album cover that clearly sent a message that the band means business -- the business of hard partying and equally as hard rocking – Flirtin’ with Disaster is a 40-minute tour de force spearheaded by a triple guitar attack and the raspy thrillbilly growl of Danny Joe Brown.  The album slowly builds from "Whiskey Man" into the classic soul rocker "It's All over All Now" and peaks with the brilliant title track -- largely considered by many to be Hatchet's finest moment committed to analog tape.  It's a hard driving rock record, plain and simple with no frills or lofty concepts.  Just ten songs designed to keep rocking until the sun comes up over the Florida swamplands.  And it does the job better than most of its contemporaries.”
