'Tons Of Sobs'

Island, UK, 1969

ILPS 9089

DEBUT ALBUM from this British blues rock institution - arguably one of the most important bands to have ever emerged out of these fair Isle's along side Led Zep and Deep Purple. This album showcases a fledgling band getting into their stride with a solid set of pure riff-tastic blues allowing vocalist Paul Rodgers to shine and guitarist Paul Kossoff to take off on some incredible flights of fancy. Some great tracks here including 'Walk In My Shadow', 'Goin' Down Slow', 'I'm A Mover' and 'The Hunter' amongst many, many others.

A fantastic album (produced by the infamous Guy Stevens) and one that started the ball for a string of recordings that shook the very foundations of the establishment.

This is a vinyl album NOT a CD. No time wasters, nit pickers or deadbeats- retribution will be swift and mercyless. Bidders with very low feedback new to ebay are often deadbeats so please don't be surprised if I run a check on you in advance. All gradings are visual but may have been spot tested to double check. I very rarely list records that are in any way scratched- they go in the trash- and I will only list a scratched record if scarcity dictates otherwise but with full disclosure. Often vinyl display 'scuffs' which are surface marks (mostly caused by sliding in and out of the inner sleeve or careless handling) but NOT scratches and they do not have any effect on playback. If the vinyl has a scuff I will try and mention it. Even my Vg+ records are way better than most gradings on ebay- check my feedback for vindication.Gradings are cover/vinyl. All records are sold as-is that means no refunds or returns except in very rare circumstances. I am not a lending libary so don't ask for a refund (I've been burn't in the past with people buying records, taping or CD-Ring and then returning them and I've also had scratched records returned in place of clean albums). If you do not accept this rule then please don't bid. I accept Paypal, UK cheques/PO's. NO US checks or MO's. Insurance against loss or damage is not included and must be requested seperately if required. I will only refund you when I have received the refund, if any, from the Post Office which could take months. Payment must be received within 10 days- no excuses. Hey why not check out my other auctions and save with multiple postage. I list a fine selection of seventies leaning Prog, Psych, Hard Rock, Folk, AOR and Country Rock on a near weekly basis so make sure you check in regularly or you may miss some good and unusual stuff. Lastly feel free to get in touch if you have any specific wants. Thanks.
