Description
THIS IS AN AUCTION FOR A COPY OF 'BLACK MAN'S BURDON ' BY ERIC BURDON & WAR. THIS WAS RELEASED IN 1970 AS A DOUBLE LP ON THE LIBERTY RECORD LABEL ( LDS 84003/4 ). A FAIRLY RARE FIRST UK PRESS, IT COMES IN A GATEFOLD COVER WITH THE PICTURE OF THE NAKED GIRLS ON THE INSIDE.
IT'S A SPRAWLING EPIC OF AN ALBUM WITH JAZZ, FUNK, BLUES, ROCK , GOSPEL FLAVOURS. HARD TO PIDGEON HOLE REALLY BUT CERTAINLY A CLASSIC OF IT'S TIME. THE KIND OF ALBUM THAT SIMPLY COULD NOT BE MADE TODAY!
SIDE 1 IS BASICALLY A MEDLEY AND INCLUDES AN INTERPRETATION OF THE STONES 'PAINT IT BLACK'. IT ALSO INCLUDES 'PC.3' , LATER BANNED ( LISTEN TO IT & YOU'LL SEE WHY). SIDE 2 CONTINUES IN SIMILAR FASHION WITH ANOTHER 6 TRACKS. JUST THREE TRACKS ON SIDE THREE INCLUDING THE BRILLIANT 'PRETTY COLORS' . JUST THREE TRACKS ON SIDE 4 , ENDING WITH THE SUPERB ' THEY CAN'T TAKE AWAY OUR MUSIC'. THERE ISN'T AN OUNCE OF FILLER ANYWHERE ON THE ALBUM. I HAVE THIS ON CD AND I NEVER GET TIRED OF LISTENING TO IT IT'S JUST BRILLIANT, BETTER THAN 'DECLARES WAR' I THINK.
THE TWO DISCS ARE SHINY BLACK WITH NICE CLEAN LABELS WRITING AND STICKER FREE, MINIMAL SPINDLE MARKS. EXAMINATION UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT REVEALS LIGHT HANDLING MARKS AND THE ODD NAILMARK/HAIRLINE. NO PENETRATING SCRATCHES ON ANY OF THE FOUR SIDES. TWO VERY PLEASING DISCS GRADED AS EXCELLENT.
THESE ARE 44 YEAR OLD RECORDS THAT HAVE BEEN PLAYED SO EXPECT A BIT OF BACKGROUND HISS IN QUIETER PLACES AND THE OCCASIONAL POP/CRACKLE. AUDIO GRADES EXCELLENT ALSO.
LOVELY SOLID GATEFOLD WITH NO CREASES. TINY AMOUNT OF WEAR TO TOP & BOTTOM OF THE SPINE BUT STILL FIRM AND STRAIGHT WITH ALL TEXT INTACT. MINOR DISC IMPRESSION AND AN AREA THAT IS SLIGHTLY STAINED INSIDE THE GATEFOLD. DUE TO THIS I AM DOWNGRADING THE COVER TO EX- TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE. LOOK AT THE PHOTOS & MAKE YOUR OWN MIND UP, I THINK ITS STILL PRETTY GOOD. THE TWO ORIGINAL PLAIN WHITE INNERS ARE FULLY INTACT.
I USE THE RRPG GRADING SYSTEM.
A BRILLIANT ALBUM THAT IS NOW HARD TO OBTAIN IN THIS FIRST UK PRESS FORMAT. I POST FIRST CLASS RECORDED USING PROPER MAILERS WITH STIFFENERS. OVERSEAS POSTAGE AVAILABLE ( SIGNED FOR ONLY). ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE ASK.
