Description

THE KILLERS – GOOD BYE / DE LA PLANTA KL 8327 / 1972 / ESTEREO / Coming from one of the most exclusive and selected neighborhoods from Montevideo, The Killers began their music career by the late 60’s playing live gigs. Their high social level and therefore their relationships with foreigners and some diplomatists’ sons living in the country made it possible for them to instantly access to most of the UK or USA late releases (something that some other Uruguayan musicians of the time couldn’t even dream of…) That helped them to develop a sound highly influenced by the finest international tendencies of the moment. By 1970 they released their first PS single whose highlight is their version of Cream’s White Room, but it’s just in 1972 when they achieved to record their first and only long play Good Bye released by the indie label De La Planta. A well recorded and produced album, entirely sung in English, and highly West Coast influenced. Features superb fuzz leads, precise keyboards & drums job, and cool female backing vocals. Ten tracks, all self-penned compositions except for Rare Earth’s Born to Wonder & Stephen Stills’ Love The One You’re With. All in all just incredibly good songs that should have deserved a wider audience at the time….. Real Cool Stuff!! (Check Sound Sample) / Cvr= Vg++ (The quite fragile cover looks clean with a signature on front left corner (almost erased) and another one on verse left upper corner too. Verse shows light ring wear, no seams splitting but some shelf wear on seams & spine, 90% of these covers appear totally spoiled, this one looks fine) / Rec= Vg++ (Disc has some light hairlines, keeps full luster and plays really strong with just some soft background surface noise, mainly noticeable in between tracks, labels look absolutely clean) Nice Copy!! Very few made at the time, as a matter fact it’s been a long time since I don’t find a decent one like this to let it go….Reasonable reserve for a **** on 3001 Record Collectors Dreams. CONSERVATIVE GRADING.
