MOTHERLIGHT ?BABAK, JONS MALONE? MORGAN BLUE TOWN VINYL LP IN TEXTURED FLIPBACK SLEEVE
Sleeve Condition: Vg-, grubby and worn though no real damage.
Record Condition: Here?s the bad news! The record plays through without tracking problems and the music is fine but it is heavily worn and marked and not been cared for. It plays with noticeable and intrusive background noise. It?s difficult to give it an accurate grade but let?s err on the side of caution and call it somewhere between Fair and Good. I am using the Record Collector Price Guide condition guide. Potential bidders should be familiar with this.

Motherlight is one of those odd little delights that gains at least some of its reputation as a result of what happened to the three people behind it, with later production credits ranging from Paul McCartney to Iron Maiden and Television. A studio creation given a green light by Morgan Blue Town label owner Monty Babson, the trio consisted of recording engineers Mike Bobak and Andy Johns (that actually being the correct spelling of his last name) teaming with Wilson Malone, lead figure of never-quite-stars Orange Bicycle.
Without trying to draw an exact parallel, one can say this was the equivalent to something like Curt Boettcher's work with the Millennium or Sagittarius, though on a smaller scale and with slightly different goals. With Malone on guitar, keyboards, singing and most songwriting chores while Bobak and Johns handled rhythm and recording duties, the trio created an easygoing and often quite attractive collection of eight songs, generally pitched somewhere between acid folk bliss-out and the kind of heavy riffage starting to coalesce into heavy metal, with sometimes strident piano tying all the songs together.
A song like "On a Meadow-Lea" shows the various sides well, as Malone's calm repetition of the chorus towards the end offers him a chance to turn in a nicely fried solo over the top.
