Widespread Panic Bombs & Butterflies limited edition LP

$

61

The Item up for auction is a rare, numbered limited edition vinyl of Widespread Panic's album "Bombs & Butterflies."

***This copy is numbered #0053 out of a 3,000 pressing. What makes this copy unique is the fact that it is signed by John Bell and Dave Schools after a concert when backstage. Schools kissed the dog that is on the back of the album. The poster and album are in MINT CONDITION, and the cover is in good condition. I have seen 3 of these copies for sale at record shows, and 2 of them could have been used as frisbees and none were signed.***

Widespread Panic are another of the wave of jam bands who let their music flow organically, a la the Grateful Dead, and like the Dead have had a bit of a problem transferring that loose feeling onto disc. That is not to say that Bombs & Butterflies isn't interesting listening, because it is. However, the cuts here mainly sound stiff, whereas in concert, they tend to sound groovy. Only on a cover of a Staples Singers tune do they catch hold of the magic and let loose with a great big bang. "Hope In a Hopeless World" has everything going for it, and while the rest of Bombs & Butterflies is worthy material, one can't help but wonder just what lies ahead for Widespread Panic and their boogie-groovy genre mates. ~ James Chrispell
