Description

Here we have a great copy (took me a while to hunt down a copy that played really well) of Steve Young's much under-rated cult classic LP 'Rock Salt & Nails' - released way back in 1969 on the A&M label. Well - what can be said about this 1969 outing from Steve - it is one of my all time favourite early country-rock classics, with superb stripped back production - Do your ears/all senses a favour - this sounds great on a turntable - feels like Steve is in the room with you!  I would grade this LP in a conservative manner as sleeve:  good - it has a slight split at the top right join otherwise great - nice thick cardboard! (look at the photo - you can see the overall package is well looked after) - the VINYL itself does have some very minor scuff surface marks BUT vinyl plays superb - this is a very clean copy.  The LP has been safely stored and never really played much by me. All round a great copy of a record that has grown in stature over the years; it's Steve's favourite to this day and has GRAM PARSONS guesting on organ and GENE CLARK chipping in with harmonica - nice!
It pains me to be selling the best of my vinyl but..... I need further funds to get my own LP mastered and finished! Be sure to check my other listings for more tasty vinyl!
Happy Bidding! 100% FEEDBACK BIDDERS ONLY please! If you are not happy for a valid reason you can send back to me for a full refund (minus postage costs) - not that I have ever had to as I only sell items that are in great condition - see my positive feedback. POSTAGE INFORMATION: I'll send out the record by first class post as quickly as I can - the record will be packaged well to prevent damage on route - I can also do recorded delivery for more expensive items - recommended! INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS: I will send International BUT international bidders PLEASE see that I'll charge £5.00 - email for precise cost.
