Artist : VOIZ

Title: Boanerges

Label: Grapevine GRV 110 (1977)

Very rare original uk private press album that is getting near impossible to track down. iL Listed in Hans Pokora 2001 Collectors Dreams book. 'Voiz' were a superb Dutch six-man progressive outfit that couples a hard-rock approach with classical flute accompaniment. Only seven tracks, most being fairly long. ‘70s FM prog buffs will not be disappointed as they experience the slow burn of ‘Keep Quiet’ and ‘Little Words’, or the grungy r&r boogie of ‘All The Way From Fryslan’, all with loud potent electric guitar leads. ‘Quality Of Life’ and ‘Laughing’ both supply whimsical upbeat moments, the latter making use of ukulele, clarinet, and fuzz bass. ‘Dank U’, the only non-English song, provides a quieter symphonic mood before closing with a heavy electric guitar climax. Lively skillful flute work everywhere you turn, plus a few saxophone appearances, all within the prog/classic-rock context. Also nice dreamy background synthesizer adding depth to the sound. Deserves the same recognition as heavyweights like Agape and The Exkursions.

No bidders from former Svoiet countries. Sorry.

I am not a professional dealer; just trying to finance my vinyl habit by thinning the herd after upgrades and trades.  I try my best to grade these honestly under bright light and most of the time after a recent spin. I grade conservatively to avoid the disappointments I have experienced on eBay.

MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.

FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump.
The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
