BRIAN BENNETT – CHANGE OF DIRECTION.
A near perfect copy of this super-rare album. Brian Bennett’s (The Shadows) first solo album and a classic album in its own right as well as an awesome breaks/beats record.
"Long before Blood Sweat & Tears, Colosseum, Keef Hartley, Chicago et al Bennett came up with 'Change of Direction' a massive departure from his work in the drum chair with The Shadows. Tracks such as 'Tricycle' show the influence of Roland Kirk (great playing by Skid) making it a hugely underrated album. I'd be inclined to think Bennett was the first of the jazz/rock pioneers especially with the use of such players as Skid, Harold McNair, Big Jim Sullivan, Herbie Flowers etc. Bennett is a wonderfully tight, crisp player, with great taste and drive. His solo 'Little B' with The Shadows was always a show highlight. Here he truly demonstrates how he effortlessly took his playing further. Also of course he's both a great arranger and composer in his own right"

GRADING
SLEEVE: EX+
Fantastic! No splits or scuffs. The unlaminated rear is completely free from discolouration. The sleeve would grade as NM but for a couple of light creases to the laminated front and the fact that there is some very light scuffing to the top of the front of the sleeve. These former do not denote damage but are rather the result of a very slight manufacturing fault.
RECORD: EX+++
Absolutely superb. Would grade as NM if not for a single very light scuff mark on the first track of side two. Needless to say this is entirely superficial and does not sound. The entire record plays as MINT!!!
The above record grading is based on Record Collector magazine system:
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.
IF YOU DISAGREE WITH MY GRADING (Which is hope is very unlikely) PLEASE CONTACT ME BEFORE LEAVING FEEDBACK.

Postage costs (Please contact for specific country if not listed):
U.K - £3.70

I calculate postage using the Royal mail postage calculator. I charge an extra 50p for packing materials as i buy specialist record mailers and stiffeners. Sometimes records cost less to mail than i expect. In these cases i try to refund the difference. However, as I mail a number of records at one time i occasionally lose track of who paid what postage for what record. RATHER THAN LEAVING LESS THAN 5 STAR FEEDBACK, IF YOU HAVE BEEN OVERCHARGED FOR POSTAGE PLEASE CONTACT ME AND I WILL IMMEDIATELY REFUND YOU THE DIFFERENCE.
NO QUIBBLE FULL MONEY BACK GAUARANTEE IF YOU ARE UNHAPPY WITH YOUR PURCHASE!
