BEFORE THE LEGENDARY FELIX PAPPALARDI WENT ON TO FORM THE GROUP MOUNTAIN WITH LESLIE WEST, HE WAS INVOLVED IN MANY BANDS AND PROJECTS AS NOT ONLY A PERFORMER BUT A PRODUCER AND MUSICAL ARRANGER. YES, MOST PEOPLE KNOW THAT HE PRODUCED THE SUPER GROUP CREAM , BUT THERE WERE MANY OTHER PROJECTS. HERE IS THE ONE THAT I FIND THE MOST INTERESTING BECAUSE IT SOUNDS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. BOTH OF THESE SONGS ARE FROM THE ONLY ALBUM EVER MADE BY THIS BAND, TITLED " HARD ROCK FROM THE MIDDLE EAST ", AND THIS IS THE ULTRA RARE PROMO PICTURE SLEEVE SINGLE OF THIS BAND.
GLOSSY TYPE OF PAPER PICTURE SLEEVE HAS A SPLIT JUST IN THE CENTER OF THE BOTTOM SEAM, A LIGHT RECORD INDENTATION, MAYBE A LITTLE YELLOWING. YEAH, IT'S 46 YEARS OLD. STILL PRETTY COOL THOUGH.
BOTH SIDES OF THE RECORD PLAY GREAT. THERE'S A FEW LIGHT SCUFFS ON IT THAT I FOUND WHILE MOVING BOTH SIDES AROUND UNDER A PAIR OF 100 WATT LIGHT BULBS. ANYWAY, THEY'RE SCUFFS AND NOT DEEP GROOVE SCRATCHES, I DON'T USE SUBJECTIVE GRADING, JUST PLAY THE RECORD AND LOOK CLOSELY AT IT FROM ALL ANGLES UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT. BY THE WAY, I PLAY EACH RECORD ON A DENON TURNTABLE WITH A DENON MOVING COIL CARTRIDGE HOOKED UP TO A HEAD AMP THAT TRACKS BOTH SIDES INSIDE OF THE GROOVE,THE RECORD COMES WITH A COLLECTORS TYPE OF INNER SLEEVE SO YOU WON'T HAVE TO STORE IT BACK IN THE ORIGINAL PICTURE SLEEVE TO AVOID ANY FUTURE WEAR, AND A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE.
