PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise.

Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office. Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our well over 18,000 positive feedback. We use an ultrasonic KLAudio machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music!

The EDGAR BROUGHTON BAND were the anti-establishment / anti everything rebels in an era of rebellion, the anarchists in an time of revolutionary activism; hard heavy psychedelic crazies
w/ hair growing out-of-bounds.
- Their career suffered for such an outrageous appearance>
The Broughton Band stood on the brink of success around 1970, when their music took on a political slant and their activities gained them more notoriety than their impressive records, the normals, record buying public - stayed away in droves.
The talent of the Broughton Band seems to have matured by 1975, and their scarce UK-only "Bandages" LP was a strong summary of the musical styles the band had created through its career, and it was the last real studio album they released.
The style on "Bandages" is a rough-around-the-edges Woodstock-era hard-rock punctuated with flairs of genius - and above all, dripping with emotion and attitude. That is what defines this record. There are no soppy love songs, no flowery poetry, and no pretty ballads. This is ballsy in yer face stuff. Every song carries a message that is expressed with imagination, sincerity and sometimes a rather British vein of cynicism.
Leader Edgar Broughton's singing is a clear, strong lower mid-range. His delivery is sometimes tortured and desperate as in "The Whale" and sometimes a soothing bluesy tone as in "Lady Life", but usually it has the uncompromising cynical hard-edge that will recall so many of the '60s acts. The instrumentals on many songs amount to a well controlled jam session, and while no one will accuse the dual guitar performances of any level of virtuosity, the southern blues rock influenced style is pleasing and melodic.
"The Whale" is a standout piece with singing that flip-flops from soft to a harsh, a pained delivery.
An interesting side note - Broughton was probably more popular in some of the smaller markets than at home or in the USA. Australia, New Zealand, and particularly South Africa adopted the band's self-titled record - often called 'the Meat Album' - and "Evening Over Rooftops" was a hit.
With its track-to-track strong messages, this album is a must-have for anyone who has any respect for the forefathers of the pioneering 1970 era of progressive hard rock underground music.
