Don’t ask me why so many artist today hit the music scene virtually unheard of ... and then disappear almost as quickly.  My guess, regarding their ability to stay around, is that they have not had, or taken the time to learn and hone their craft, as artists did in the 60’s, hence the longevity of the earlier artists.

Aynsley Dunbar is one of those who did pay his dues, learned at the feet of the greats, and performed with nearly everyone of any stature, and because of his talent and ability Aynsley was able to slip in and out of most any musical genre because of those well learned skills.  Aynsley Dunbar began his musical career playing with Jack Dupree and then Eddie Boyd [but you will have to wait for my reviews of these greats].  He then moved on as the drummer with John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers [and we all know how they turned the world on its axis], laid down some amazing work with Jeff Beck and hit the big time working for Frank Zappa as a guitarist, not as the drummer [where his best efforts are featured], and he can be heard on no less then four of Franks albums.  After Zappa, he joined company with Flow and Eddie, both of whom had been with Zappa, then with David Bowie for two releases, became the drummer for Journey [probably his low point for me] and then on to Jefferson Starship, and finally Whitesanke [probably an even lower point then Journey as far as I’m concerned].

The point is, he was always working, always exploring new sounds, new adventures, new genres ... and behind all of this was his personal take on the Blues, with his own band, The Aynsley Dunbar Retaliation ... which is nothing short of over the top, stellar, and some of the best progressive blues you are ever going to hear in your entire life.

Aynsley Dunbar Retaliation is deep into the night music, these tracks are serious blues from a man who assembled a group as rich and musically diverse as he was.  This is no nonsense music, it is not from the heart, this is blues from the soul.  Blues like this was made to move you, but Aynsley succeeds in barely giving you enough space between the notes to breath.  The music is played low an deep, with a strength that does not require high volumes of power to blast you into compliance ... they simply pick up their instruments and strike chords that completely engulf your every sense.

This is some of the best of the best ... a perfect prescription for any late night when you just want to be totally awed ... when you drop the needle on these grooves, they will own you for all time.

 (EXCERPT FROM AN ONLINE REVIEW BY AN ANONYMOUS ONLINE REVIEW)

THE WHITE LABEL PROMO, RADIO STATION-, AUDITION OR DEMONSTRATION COPIES AND RELEASES (such as the one we have here) were often distributed to the radio stations before the record was released to the public, sometimes as much as four months ahead. These records are generally considered to be the "first among equals": the VERY FIRST generation and the VERY FIRST pressings of the particular title; a PROTOTYPE and the earliest known official pressing of the record.

·                               CONDITION:

·                               THE RECORD

 (IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          WE GRADE THE VINYL  AS  NEAR MINT. Some VERY LIGHT AND SUPERFICIAL abrasions – mostly sleeve scuffs -  are (barely) visible, but are probably inaudible,  and do not affect visual integrity or beauty of the vinyl. The original luster is very much intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

(b)          The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(c)           White Promo Label version of this title is much rarer that a regular, commercially released, version of this title. We estimate that stock copies of this album outnumber promo copies by a ratio of at least 50:1.

(d)          Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

·                               THE COVER

THE COVER IS NICE --- ABOUT VERY GOOD++ (VG++).

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

-        Cover has some light ring wear (nothing significant); On the scale from 1 to 10 (1 being the least, and  10 being the most severe), we assess the severity of ring wear as 4

-        Cover shows JUST A HINT of yellowing on both sides, apparently from aging.

-        Minor shelf wear noted on the bottom seam and opening side (nothing significant)

-        The cover has a few tiny scratch marks (nothing significant)

-        Cover has two corners slightly dinged (BARELY VISIBLE)

NO OTHER VISIBLE FLAWS OR IMPERFECTIONS ON THE  COVER
