1972 POWER GUITAR TRIO BLUES PSYCH LEGEND              

                                  PAPPOS BLUES                

                Volume 3

                Argentina - Discoteca 2389 - "mono/stereo comptible" 

Very scarce ....ages old vintage '70s pressing with dazzling gatefold cover (the hard to find later reissue has only a single-fold cover)...

This is the GREAT and legendary "PAPPOS BLUES" led by the filthy guitar antics of Norberto "Pappo" Napolitano ( a south American guitar hero ) with a style that hits somewhere in the 1968 era Eric Clapton/Alvin Lee vein dealing plenty of steaming dirty distortion blues leads in heavy trio format, much like "CREAM" or "TOAD" and even early Ten Years After....

We seldom ever have the opportunity to offer this album...Pappos Blues released several great records in the '70s, and hands down the 1972 issued Volume 3 is their heaviest... a killer power blues/psych sound that opens with a rush in the grinding "Speed Boogie" (reminding of Ten Years After - "I'm Going Home")....and keeps on groovin until the end with the great blues tune "Always The Same" ...elsewhere "Metallico Bird" is a great riffing acid blues groove..."Dirty Unkept" features two thrilling guitar explosions driven off a cool riffing jam and maybe the best song on the album....and as well, "Sandwich Crumbs" is amazing surreal blues rock with crazy lyics that give rumor to Pappo having written while tripping on LSD...

Pappo was an amazing guitarist, considered a guitar legend in South America and after listening to this album, it's easy to hear why. His solos are scorching and some of the riffs sound almost as doomy as Black Sabbath, but based in a more bluesy fashion, of course.

(loose translations based on following tracks):

 Stratocaster Boogie 
Metallic Bird
Dirty, Unkept 
South Of The City 
 Sandwich Crumbs
The Sorcerer And The Time 
 Cheerful Working On The Railway
Faces In The Park
Always The Same Nena

CONDITION: The cover: The fragile gatefold album has remained in remarkable condition after 35+ years, rated a collection worthy VG++ there is really only a 'touch' of light shelf wear but really aa great looking aartifact with all tings considered (Lp's fromthis era are usually well worn out) ... no aalarming bends, no split seams, no writing, no delete marks, and retains strong original colors 

The vinyl: clean and glossy, rated near "EX" (excellent) which repreesents a top copy with things considered mentioned above ... plays excellent audio with no problems ... 

A GREAT ADDITION TO ANYONE'S COLLECTION !
