DESCRIPTION
UK 1st press from 1972. Fold out gimick cover. Beautiful condition.
Paul Brett Sage's second full-length, Jubilation Foundry, was a rocking affair that danced delightfully from rock's roots in blues and R&B to its many contemporary nooks and crannies. With their follow-up, 1972's Schizophrenia, PBS dove into the harder side of rock, quite a feat for a group that featured a plethora of percussion but no drummer; although one was brought in for the driving "Slow Down Ma!." But as "Custom Angel Man" proved, Sage could rock like a Band of Gypsies even without one. However, it was Southern rockers and jam bands that were the group's strongest influences, and on "Charlene" they bring the two together. Imagine the Allmans fronting the Band to get the idea. The instrumental "Limp Willie," in contrast, features great dueling acoustic guitars, until the song flops over into Grateful Dead territory. "Take Me Back I Will Love You" sounds just like Pink Floyd, minus all their pomposity and self-indulgence, and is one of the album highlights. And there's plenty more of those within, from the gorgeous harmonies and acoustic guitars that stream across "Savior of the World" and "Tale of a Rainy Night" to the bluesy show-stopper "Make It Over." But as far afield as PBS seemed to have wandered from their folkie roots and for all their use of electric guitars, the many acoustic elements that initially defined their sound remain, giving the band and this set a sound entirely unlike anything else from the time. Routinely labeled acid folk and progressive rock, in fact, Sage were pop/rockers working in a thoroughly unique medium, creating a sound that still thrills today. ~ Dave Thompson

ITEM: VINYL LP
ARTIST: Paul Brett's Sage
TITLE: Schizophrenia
COUNTRY PRINTED: UK
LABEL: Dawn
CAT No: DNL 3032
VINYL: NM
COVER: NM-
I use the following gradings: NM (10/10)/ NM- (9/10)/ VG++ (8/10)/ VG+ (7/10)/ VG (6/10)/ VG- (5/10)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I do not believe in rating any record mint and therefore a near mint is 10/10.
This is in spite of the fact that I have often bought used records that are in better condition than freshly pressed new records, but that is more likely due to present inferier pressing standards.
I do not sell less than VG- UNLESS it is a highly collectable item that someone may still be interseted in OR if the cover or vinyl is still in good nick and may be matched with an existing item as an upgrade.
Happy Bidding.
