Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days.

Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable.

FANTASTIC TOP COPY
STILL IN FACTORY SHRINK WRAP
............................................................
Original 1969 first pressing vinyl of hard UK bluesy-psych slammer ... hits a home run with fans of the scene: ((see LEAFHOUND for similar devastating heaviness))
Includes the (MINT) original printed inner sleeve to this LEAFHOUND pressing
- Ashkan's ~ In from the Cold bares an uncanny resemblance to the UK band ART and early Spooky Tooth meets Barbed Wire Sandwich, but in reality blows them away = had Gary Wright and Spooky Tooth released something this good, it would have been a massive success with the underground crowd.
Propelled by Steve Bailey's hoarse vocal growl and the band's penchant for screaming guitars, this comparison is reinforced on tracks such as "Going Home", "Take These Chains" and "Out Of Us Two". Elsewhere, Bailey sounds like a ravaged gravel throat growler on "Practically Never Happens", while (ex-Black Cat Bones) Bob Weston's guitar sounds like it it is from the early Steve Winwood and Traffic catalogue. With the exception of the pedestrian and still good blues number, "Backlash Blues", the album is highlighted by the extended "Darkness", and overall the album is a must have for the style. "Practically Never Happens" got a further airing on the Broken Dreams psych comp..,
All said, Ashkan's In From The Cold is a pretty rough and tumble heavy rocker from the ass end of the UK blues boom. Most cuts are more than a bit nasty guitar wise for '69, and the distinctly gravel-like vocals are a good addition to the band's sound. It's definitely a loose, jammy sort of record, not to the extent of Stack Waddy, and not as tight as the Groundhogs. Anyone addicted to this sort of old school heaviness, will find it aplenty here, and, so if that's your thing by all means, indulge.
