The James Gang
Rides Again
ABC S-711
Welcome! This auction is for a sealed copy of the James Gang's legendary second album "Rides Again." This is the original gatefold ABC pressing. The promos and initial run of this album included a version of Ravel's Bolero during the song "The Bomber." After its release, Ravel's estate complained and the album was recut without Bolero. The only way to tell if a copy has the Bolero section included is to look at the dead wax or listen to the lp. Since this copy is sealed, I cannot do either, so I cannot guarantee Bolero's presence on the album (or the label variation). However, it is a heavy copy, so I would think the chances are good.
I am starting this auction at $59.99. A bit pricey, but good luck finding another original copy of this lp in sealed condition. If you want a mint example of this lp, this is it. This is a no reserve auction. If you have any questions, please let me know. Happy Bidding!
Vinyl Condition: Mint (Sealed)
Jacket Condition: Mint (In original shrink, a few holes in the shrink wrap)
This album was released by ABC records in 1970. Here is the 4.5 star review from Allmusic.com
ReviewWith their second album Rides Again, the James Gang came into their own. Under the direction of guitarist Joe Walsh, the group -- now featuring bassist Dale Peters -- began incorporating keyboards into their hard rock, which helped open up their musical horizons. For much of the first side of Rides Again, the group tear through a bunch of boogie numbers, most notably the heavy groove of "Funk #49." On the second side, the James Gang departs from their trademark sound, adding keyboard flourishes and elements of country-rock to their hard rock. Walsh's songwriting had improved, giving the band solid support for their stylistic experiments. What ties the two sides of the record together is the strength of the band's musicianship, which burns brightly and powerfully on the hardest rockers, as well as on the sensitive ballads.
