Similar to Fleetwood Mac in that Chicken Shack opt for a less serious approach for their follow up to their debut album and augment the sound with a horn section, get a little more rockin' and to top it off, the madman Webb introduces each song by poking fun at many British luminaries of the day such as Prime Minister Harold Wilson & radio personality John Peel. Those unfamiliar with the personalities in question still may get a chuckle or two from the proceedings but anyway, the songs themselves include highlights of the same nature as the debut, that is the instrumentals and the Christine led numbers though there is a effective duet by Perfect and Webb on "A woman is the blues" and Stan the man has a great rocker in "Tell me". The obligatory Freddie King "Remington ride" chugs at breakneck speed while the impressive original instrumental "Pony and trap" is an unusual speed and is the better of the two instrumentals. Christine swings on "I wanna see my baby", the harmonica filled "Mean old world" and last but not least, her self penned classic "Get like you used to be" which at it's slow pace may shock those used to the Mac's much faster run throughs of this song on the 1975 tour. More colorful than it's predecessor but equality as effective.

·        CONDITION:

·        RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)           WE GRADE THE VINYL AS EXCELLENT. This is one of those albums that are somewhat difficult to grade. It is somewhere between VG++ and NEAR MINT, just a notch below NEAR MINT. A few light abrasions ARE visible, but they are extremely shallow, superficial  and only moderately visually distracting (nothing significant).For the most part, the vinyl looks impeccable without any MAJOR visual flaws or imperfections. Much of the original luster is intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

(b)           The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(c)            Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

·                                     THE COVER

COVER IS (WEAK) NEAR MINT, STILL IN ITS ORIGINAL ►SHRINK WRAP

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

-          Cover has a partially split spine (between 2 and 4 inches  / 5 to 10 centimeters); This split seam was delicately taped by the previous owner with a piece of transparent scotch tape

-          Cover shows some light yellowing on both sides, apparently from aging.  126-

-          Cover has a few tiny wrinkles along the spine  (BARELY VISIBLE)

-          Cover has one corner slightly dinged (nothing significant)

NO OTHER VISIBLE FLAWS OR IMPERFECTIONS ON THE  COVER
