WELCOME TO LILABELLE_BE RECORD AUCTIONS

Dear rock record collector , before you read the discription of this record , first THE STORY,

I just bought a HUGE , INCREDIBLE collection lp’s ( around 1000 ) and vinylsingles ( around 2850 ) from a famous Belgian radio dj .... , he was dj from the Belgian National radio station between 1965 and 1978 . In this time he collected all these “rare” vinyls,(keep in mind that this is his PRIVATE COLLECTION and not the radio collection !!) . When he came at home with his new stuff , he put the record on tape or his REVOX , reel to reel recorder and put all records in his huge bookcase ( record case ), they nearly never played more than once ,  he always listened to his tapes .... meanwhile he was also Salesmanager for Polydor Belguim.After 1978 he left his job and Belguim for what it was and went to work in Asia , he never bought any record after this period anymore , all lp’s stayed in Belguim in boxes in a dry room for nearly 20 years !

In this collection you gonna see nearly all first pressings in MINT or NEARMINT condition !

We talk about Progressive , Psychedelic , Folkrock , Beat , Folk , Jazz and Countryrock ... .

I am not going to give a list of what’s inside because  this is too much work , i just gonna put every week new ones on aution, it’s a STUNNING collection !!! Everytime i gonna try to keep the discriptions brief , to the point and no 2 hours reading or psychological ploy to induce you into a state of mind numbness, the discription is what you get !!

One last thing , i guarantee all the conditions in my listings and offer a refund to any buyer who is not satisfied with my gradings , i’ve bought enough rubbish in the past that was over graded beyond belief ( as i’m sure you all have ), so i’m very aware of the need to grade correctly , i hope the foto’s below do this lp justice , as it truly is !

HAVE A NICE BID !!

CIRCUS

" SAME "

IT IS EXTREMELY HARD TO FIND THIS LP IN THIS SUPERB CONDITION

MEGARARE ORIG. UK PRESS !!!

Circus produced a tightly woven jazz-rock sound, sometimes resembling Jethro Tull or Caravan, while comparisons to early King Crimson can also be assessed. Without the help of keyboards, Circus applied saxophone and flute to their impassioned but melodic brand of progressive music, with Chris Burrows' drum work coming to the forefront in nearly all of their tracks. The original Transatlantic recordings from 1969 were released in 2000 by the Castle label, combining to create Circus' debut album. With Mel Collins on sax, Circus' eight tracks are wonderfully inventive, merging the band's uplifting musical spirit with their innovative laid-back sound. Collins' sax gives their interpretation of "Norwegian Wood" a "juicy" sound, to say the least, with enough musical accessories to make it novel. "Pleasures" has Mel Collins' dad playing alto flute (which has a unique sound all its own) mixed in with some dreamy sax parts into rhythms that are both busy and delicate. Ian Jelfs' vocals aren't that becoming, proven on "Father of My Daughter" as he teams up with Collins for the singing duties, but it's Chris Burrows' Indian tabla that steals that show here. Burrows' best example of his percussive talents comes alive on "St. Thomas," partnering his drums perfectly with the woodwinds, while his conga's give "Don't Make Promises" its jazz-to-rock sway. Bass man Kirk Riddle is absolutely bewildering on Charles Mingus' "11 B.S.," displaying the band's love for improvisation while putting the electric guitar to good experimental use. Circus made a few more albums following this one, but it's here that the well-traveled Collins truly shines, capturing this relatively unknown band in their freshest stage.
