CLOUDS
Scrapbook
Vinyl album issued in the UK as Island ILPS9100 in 1969
Condition of the record is VG+++
The gatefold cover is VG
[I never use a 'Mint' grading unless the item is new, unplayed or sealed]
Splendid Hammond-heavy album!
A massively under-rated Scottish three piece who recorded just two albums at the fag-end of the psychedelic era.
Harry Hughes drums
Ian Ellis bass, acoustic guitar, vocals
Billy Ritchie Hammond, piano, guitars, vocals
This is their first LP and is a fine blend of mad Hammond and wistful melodies. Highlights includes the gorgeous title track, also issued as a single, and the wonderful melancholic ballad I'll go girl, a different version of which is featured on the classic Island compilation You Can All Join In.
The textured gatefold cover is heavily scuffed on the outer edges and there is ring wear to the reverse. The gatefold inner is clean and in excellent shape.
The disc is clean with only very slight scuffs and easily grades by ear as VG+++. The pink Island labels are spotless with no spindle marks or any signs of age.
