Black Crowes Three Snakes and one charm box set RARE

 Well Black Crowes fans, here is an increasingly rare 1996 Limited Edition Box Set which includes the whole classic (and my personal favourite - full of soul/funk/blues/rock/psych and country vibes - how many bands can pull that lot off?) 'Three Snakes and One Charm album is the very unusual (for an album) format of x7 7 inch singles. All the tracks sound great on vinyl and in this format each track becomes a listening event! I have only played the individual 7inches 7 or 8 times since buying back in 1996, thus they are in at the very least a strong excellent condition, labels very clean etc... The individual 7inch sleeves have cool little customised individual illustrations - the sleeves are in good condition - a couple of the sleeves have small minor marks on them and are slightly bent on some edges and very slight ring wear (just where I've taken them out of the main box - nothing major - just being honest and picky and  highlighting everything people!)  With this set you also get a 'far out man' poster that only the Black Crowes could get away with - the poster is MINT - always been in the box. You also get a groovy little black 7inch adapter in the shape of the album logo to insert into the middle of each 7inch if required. Although this box set is not Mint condition, it really is in a very strong excellent condition (see the photo) - been stored most of the time and has only been opened and played as I have already said 7 or 8 times in 14 odd years!!! I'm starting this set off at a low price and I hope it finds a good home! These box sets are really starting to increase in price - so grab yourself a real bargin and investment!
Any further questions... please email!

THREE SNAKES AND ONE CHARM, their fourth album, continues their love affair with different facets of American music by liberally mixing genres with a proud disregard for current music trends (and for the slings and arrows of the band's short-sighted detractors).The Crowes' Southern heritage pops up in a variety of ways on THREE SNAKES. "Let Me Share The Ride" mixes the New Orleans horns of the Dirty Dozen with a heavy guitar tone that evokes Crazy Horse. "Good Friday" takes the gospel/country route, with a rich crew of female backing singers and a pedal steel guitar (played by ex-American Music Clubber Bruce Kaphan). And on "(Only) Halfway To Everywhere" the Dirty Dozen aid the Crowes on a trip into funky territory that is more Family Stone than Rolling Stone. On that one, singer Chris Robinson holds his own in front of the backing vocals of Parliament-Funkadelic's Gary "Mudbone" Cooper and Gary Shider.

Editorial reviews Ranked #36 in NME's 1996 critic's poll.Rolling Stone (8/8/96, p.60) - 3 Stars - Good - ...This album points to a compromise between the Crowes' early and later work, with the band easing back into straightforward, R&B-informed hard rock while expanding on the textural shifts and adept dynamics that made 1994's AMORICA compelling...NME (7/20/96, p.44) - 8 (out of 10) - ...[The Black Crowes] understand when you're rolling around with sex and drugs, you're going to need a lot of rock lubricant....The Black Crowes have blurred the lines between their anthemic soul and their addled muse with deeply stoned but tuneful charm...

All Music Guide:
With Amorica, the Black Crowes began developing a distinctive sound, shading their Stonesy Southern boogie with a variety of rootsy and psychedelic overtones. But where Amorica was rich with kaleidescopic colors, Three Snakes and One Charm is stripped-down and direct....it has a punchy, muscular sound that is, if anything, more eclectic than its predecessor....Three Snakes and One Charm is a winning album, mainly because the Black Crowes' musicianship continues to deepen — the musical fusions and eclecticism are seamless, particularly from lead guitarist Rich Robinson.
