Description

MOUNTAIN - 'CLIMBING!' (Please also see my other 'Leslie West - Mountain' LP listing as a FACTORY SAMPLE).

 UK original 1st pressing. Beautiful copy with a gorgeous practically MINT sleeve and Near Mint vinyl. Ultimate upgrade copy. FACTORY SAMPLE!

Metallic silver and turquoise BELL labels. SBLL 133. STEREO. (1970). First press UK 'FACTORY PRESS' original in amazing NEAR MINT - EX++/NEAR MINT condition.

Heavy 'Cream' style heavy rock and psychedelic classic - a great album. Final upgrade!
Beautiful vinyl. Audio quality and pressing quality are second to none. Sleeve grades EX++/NEAR MINT, vinyl grades EX++/NEAR MINT. A true beauty! A few light sleeve removal marks but nothing to affect the outstanding audio quality of this classic.
The album is killer! Some amazing riffs and songs with psych/rock/prog elements. At the time, Mountain were almost like an ersatz CREAM, taking what Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker and Eric Clapton did a little further after Cream split up in 1969. It's no co-incidence that Felix Pappalardi writes and plays bass in this band!  There is even their own version of 'Theme For An Imaginary Western' on here - on a par with and arguably better than the 'Jack Bruce - Songs For A Tailor' version recorded in 1969.
Leslie West has the fattest Gibson Les Paul Junior tone EVER!
A must have, essential rock release... if only to hear Mississippi Queen on originl vinyl format at LOUD VOLUME. Seriously, if you don't know this album it is well worth getting and getting very rare like this. A stunner!
