Description
TITLE: The Kaplan Brothers - The Universal Sounds Of The Kaplan Brothers
PRESSING: Stereo Pressing with black/green Kap Record Productions labels
CATALOG NUMBER/ LABEL : Kap Record Productions PM 6912
Playing around the Illinois, Iowa, Michigan and Wisconsin area, the Kaplan Brothers released their first album, The Universal Sounds Of The Kaplan Brothers, on their own Kap Records imprint in 1969. At that point the Chicago-based duo consisted of brothers Richard (aka Dick, guitar and lead vocals) and Ed (percussion and flute), backed on their recording by guitarist Scott Klynas and bassist Jeff Czech. Very hairy, very Jewish (their first two albums both feature covers of Hava Nagila), very oddball, the Kaplan sound mixes spaghetti western whistles with South American congas and a splash of Greenwich Village folk.
The jacket is EX. Really beautiful with all seams intact and almost no wear at all.
The LP looks very clean - and has been professionally cleaned. Visually it is VG+. Sound wise it is VG- as there is some crackle throughout side 1 which comes with each rotation of the record. It appears to be a pressing defect as there is no visual sign of wear. It doesn’t ruin the listening experience but needs to be described. Side 2 has a small amount of crackle but much less than side 1.
