Description

NEWCASTLE BIG BAND...LEGENDARY 1972 UK LIMITED EDITION LP FEATURING GORDON SUMNER (STING FROM THE POLICE)...STEREO..IS.NBB.106....VERY RARE

THIS IS A HIGHLY COLLECTABLE ALBUM ON THE IMPULSE LABEL WHICH FEATURES LIVE RECORDINGS FROM 2 CONCERTS...1 AT NEWCASTLE UNIVERSITY AND THE OTHER AT THE PAU JAZZ FESTIVAL IN FRANCE. STING PLAYS BASS ON ALL 8 TRACKS WHICH ARE ALL INSTRUMENTAL....

VINYL CONDITION...VG+...side one of the label has what appears to be a coffee stain over half of the label..side 2 label is very clean...this album looks like its hardley been played there are NO scratches and the record does NOT jump.

COVER CONDITION...GOOD...the cover is intact and has NO tears.. there is an autograph from ANDY HUDSON (keyboard player) on the back he has signed BEST WISHES ANDY HUDSON AND THE NBB....I think this album cover has been stained on the back by what appears to be coffee or tea...the back is worse than the front. The photo on the front shows STING 3rd from the left on the top row...

THIS IS AN INCREASINGLY RARE ALBUM AND EVEN THOUGH IS WAS RELEASED LOCALLY (I LIVE ONLY A FEW MILE FROM NEWCASTLE)BECOMING VERY HARD TO FIND.. I HAVE SEEN A COUPLE OF COPIES WHICH HAVE HAD NO COVERS. IT WAS RELEASED BY A SMALL INDEPENDENT LABEL THERE WERE ONLY 2000 COPIES RELEASED AND PROBABLY NOT MANY OF THEM STILL SURVIVING...
