2015 Limited Friday Music on Clear Color 180 gram Audiophile Vinyl LP in Gatefold Jacket.
Pristine New Sealed Condition!
Vinyl Pressed in the US by RTI.

Limited 180 gram clear audiophile vinyl LP pressing in gatefold jacket. Includes 12" by 24" lyric/photo insert. After a blistering performance at Woodstock in 1969 and a great chart run with Mississippi Queen & their first album Climbing!, Mountain roared back a year later with their stellar masterwork Nantucket Sleighride. Featuring the legendary Leslie West (guitars/vocals), the late Felix Pappalardi (bass/vocals), Corky Laing on drums and the late Steve Knight on keys, Mountain were one of the biggest super groups of the seventies as the nine stellar tracks on this LP will attest. In addition to the brilliant title track, the LP opens with one of their biggest hits, 'Don't Look Around', along with the hard rockin' 'You Can't Get Away'. Other fan favorites include 'The Animal Trainer And The Toad', as well as the album closer 'The Great Train Robbery'. Impeccably mastered by Joe Reagoso (Mountain/Deep Purple) and pressed at RTI.

While Mountain's debut album Climbing! is their most celebrated release due to the now classic status of "Mississippi Queen", their second album, Nantucket Sleighride, is just as strong and is an underrated classic. More varied than Climbing!, Nantucket Sleighride is higher on mid-tempo cerebral tracks penned by Felix Pappalardi and his wife Gail Collins and less on the heavy boogie tracks of Leslie West. The underrated Corky Laing really makes a statement here as his drumming is a highlight throughout, particularly on the wicked opener "Don't Look Around" and the cerebral title track. These tracks along with "Tired Angels", a tribute to Jimi Hendrix that is reminiscent of the Band during the choruses and "Traveling In the Dark", are the heart of the album and are all stellar. That's not to sell Leslie's contributions short as "You Can't Get Away!" is a strong track that would have fit in perfectly on Climbing! and the single "The Animal Trainer and the Toad" is a killer as well. Steve Knight's keyboard lines are also more prominent throughout, especially on the aforementioned best tracks. The remaining tracks, "My Lady" and "The Great Train Robbery", and the instrumental "Taunta", are also very good. While many may believe that Mountain were just a one hit wonder with "Mississippi Queen", Nantucket Sleighride proves that statement false and is a heck of an album." - Fan of This Album.

" This reissue sounds spectacular. The bass is heavy and the drums kick but that lead guitar just steals the show with its intensity and warmth. Mountain never sounded so good! Some of these Friday Music reissues turn out really well, especially when original tapes were used. That's definitely the case here. The remaster pumps new life into the music. I recommend." - Owner of This Edition.
