THE LEEMEN EARLY OZ ROCK AUTOGRAPHED=”INTRODUCING..”

I’ve got no way of verifying that all or any of the autographs on the front and reverse of this EP are genuine. But the general ageing of the penwork suggests they are. Some of them are a bit hard to read but it seems that somebody has maybe been up to Bandstand and got the autographs, on the front, of members of the Leemen- best known as Lonnie Lees backing band and on the back from other performers who were also on the show. They include signatures and regards from Ian Crawford, Lee Sellars and Jerry.J.Wilder. There are others that aren’t so clear (eg “Sandy…?)

This was the first of two hard to get EP’s from the band and unarguably the better of the two. Most are up- tempo rockers. Some like “Make Love to Me” are originals written by the band.

Plays well with little to none of the crackle usually associated with this vintage of Aussie EP. There are some moderate age marks on the back of the cover, the top spine is broken at the lip by about an inch and there’s a price discreetly tucked into a corner.

One of the best half dozen instrumental EP’s released in this country.
