kathatsea store SOUTHERN COMFORT-WALTER SHAKEY HORTON/MIGHTY BABY
MEGA RARE PSYCH BLUES LP FROM 1970 ON THE LONDON LABEL.
CATOLOGUE NUMBER SHK 8405.
LEGEND HAS IT THAT WHEN THIS ALBUM WAS BEING RECORDED THEY RAN OUT OF STUDIO TIME SO THEY CALLED IN MEMBERS OF MIGHTY BABY TO FINISH THE SESSION.
THE RESULT WAS THE JAM `NETTI-NETTI`,WHICH IS A LENGTHY ACID DRENCHED PSYCHEDELIC INSTRUMENTAL WITH FANTASTIC PSYCH GUITAR AND A STRONG EASTERN INFLUENCE.THIS REALLY IS THE CENTREPIECE OF THE ALBUM AND IS ESSENTIAL FOR ALL FANS OF PSYCHEDELIC MUSIC.
THERE IS A LOT OF HYPE SURROUNDING THIS TRACK,BUT IT IS TOTALLY JUSTIFIED,IT REALLY IS THAT GOOD!!!
ASIDE FROM THIS TRACK,THE REST OF THE LP ALSO HAS A LOT OF PSYCHEDELIC OVERTONES,WITH HEAVILY REVERB LADEN HARMONICA AND AN EXTRAORDINARY AMOUNT OF DELAY APPLIED TO SOME OF THE DRUM TRACKS.
THIS IS A RARE ALBUM ON THE LONDON LABEL,BUT WHAT MAKES THIS COPY EVEN RARER IS THE FACT THAT IT IS A FACTORY SAMPLE TEST PRESSING.IT HAS PINK AND WHITE LABELS WITH THE TITLE AND CATOLOGUE NUMBER WRITTEN IN BIRO.
IT BARES THE LEGEND `THIS PRESSING IS NOT NECESSARILY REPRESENTATIVE OF THE FINISHED RECORD AND MUST NOT BE USED FOR REVIEW PURPOSES`.
I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING IF THIS PRESSING IS MUSICALLY ANY DIFFERENT TO THE ACTUAL RELEASE,AS I HAVE NEVER HEARD ANOTHER COPY,HOWEVER,IT IS DEFINATELY MUCH RARER THAN A STOCK COPY,WHICH ARE NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND.
CONDITION:-
SLEEVE:-THE SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT- CONDITION.THERE IS A CREASE TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT HAND CORNER AND SLIGHT STORAGE WEAR TO THE REAR.
THE SPINE IS STRAIGHT AND TRUE AND IN GREAT SHAPE AND THE TITLE IS TOTALLY LEGIBLE.
VINYL:-THE RECORD ITSELF IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.WHEN HELD UNDER A VERY BRIGHT LIGHT THERE ARE A FEW VERY LIGHT SURFACE MARKS,PROBABLY CAUSED BY REMOVAL FROM THE INNER SLEEVE.
THESE DO NOT EFFECT THE SOUND QUALITY.WHEN PLAY TESTED ON A VERY GOOD SYSTEM THE SOUND QUALITY IS SUPERB WITH NO ISSUES.BOTH SIDES PLAY THROUGH PERFECTLY WITH NO POPS,JUMPS,CRACKLE ETC.
ALL IN ALL A VERY NICE EXAMPLE OF THIS MAJOR PSYCH RARITY.
BOTH LABELS HAVE A FEW SPINDLE MARKS.
