  IMPORTANT NOTE: I haven't had a turntable since last century, so this sale needs to be considered "as is," but I will describe everything the best I can. This album was rarely played, and I would be shocked if it has been on a turntable more than a few times. I'm not a "record seller," and I don't know "grading," but my descriptions are probably more detailed anyway. If you're not happy after the sale, just contact me. I don't give PARTIAL refunds, but I WILL make sure you're satisfied.

CHRIS ISAAK
Chris Isaak (LP, 1987) Warner Bros  1-25536 1st Pressing. Gold Promo Stamp.
Overall, this is in excellent condition with a few issues. The cover looks great, with only very minimal handling wear in the form of a minor bend here and there. There is a faint hint of a vinyl dent forming (ring dent), but it's barely noticeable unless in the right light. As you can see by the pics, there is a gold embossed PROMO stamp on the front (upper right). The vinyl SEEMS to look great. Shiny and without scratches. HOWEVER, there are some odd markings that don't make much sense. They seem machine made, but I can't really tell. You can't feel them and I'm GUESSING they can't be heard, but they are visible in harsh light. If they ARE noticeable, all you need to do is contact me and I'll refund you 100% upon return. Comes with the original one-sided inner sleeve, with 1" seam tears on the left and right (not bottom).

ALL MUSIC GUIDE REVIEW Having established a winning musical combination on Silvertone, Chris Isaak and his band essentially continue it with little variation on his second album, 11 songs of smoky, wounded romance and dark menace given great all-around performances. Isaak's gift for capturing a perfect blend of early rock & roll twang and making it sound perfectly of the now is his greatest strength. "Blue Hotel" is easily the killer track on the album, James Wilsey's spaghetti Western lead guitar and Isaak's yearning, lost singing perfectly matched. There are plenty of other reasons to listen in, though. "You Owe Me Some Kind of Love" is in many ways the precursor to Forever Blue's "Baby Did a Bad, Bad Thing," only before the breakup, though still charged with a threat of desire and need. Wilsey's concluding guitar solo is especially sharp, and the way Isaak delivers the chorus balances between melancholy and urgency. For all the Roy Orbison comparisons Isaak won, "Cryin'" is in fact an original, but Isaak does tip his hat another direction with an attractive remake of the Yardbirds' "Heart Full of Soul," making it sound very much like an Isaak original instead of a worshipful carbon copy. Erik Jacobsen's production again emphasizes Kenney Dale Johnson's drumming without making it suffer from late-'80s corporate rock disease, while touches like the sax on "Lie to Me" and the buried strings and wordless backing vocals elsewhere adds depth and lushness to the album in just-right amounts. The whole experience is pure doom-haunted passion, elegantly on the run away from - or towards - someone. All that and a killer cover photo as well, the iris of Isaak's eye only just in the light.
