There was a lot of talent involved in the making of Cochise's debut album. Guitarist Mick Grabham went on to play in Procol Harum; bassist Rick Wills would later join Foreigner; B.J. Cole would be an in-demand pedal steel player on many sessions over the next few decades; drummer Willie Wilson would play with Pink Floyd; Dick Taylor, who'd just left the Pretty Things, produced; and Storm Thorgerson of Hipgnosis (famous for working on Pink Floyd LP covers) designed a striking and, for the period, daring cover
Side One:
Velvet Mountain (3:26)
China (3:55)
Trafalgar Day (5:08)
Moment And The End (5:58)
Side Two:
Watch This Space (3:56)
59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy) (3:39)
Past Loves (3:38)
Painted Lady (7:03)
Black Is The Colour (0:56)
LABELS: NEAR MINT
An immaculate set of factory-fresh labels - one light spindle trace per side
VINYL Visual: EXCELLENT
Both surfaces shine like-new and are NM apart from one harmless hairline on Side One
VINYL Audio: EXCELLENT+
Plays beautifully throughout with little to fault - a touch of low-level surface on the run-ins and the occasional one-off tick - nothing really but I did not clean this copy as it looks immaculate so this will no doubt disappear after a clean/few spine - a superb LP of country-tinged rock and one very highly recommended indeed
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
The gatefold is crisp and sharp with little wear to speak of and a deep glossy shine.
The top corner had a slight bend where the laminate has been applied too tightly resulting in laminate lift (please see close-up photos)
