Some words on this issue: MOVING GELATINE PLATES: “S/T” (CBS – S-64399) (Record: Excellent/ Jacket: Excellent). Bloody scare 1st album, and this is the even rarer French pressing. First album by this French quartet heavily influenced by Soft Machine during their initial period and early times Frank Zappa & Mothers of Invention madness. Progressive sax leads mutate with heavy organ riffage, arrhythmic drumming patterns and wrist slashing guitar accompaniment. This was their first LP; one more would follow before the band called it quits. Amazing debut album, as good as the 4 first Soft Machine LP’s although the Moving Gelatine Plates were a bit more on the frantic side of playing, guitar leads are nasty, the organ is just dangerous. Venomous twists and turns take the music all over the place; this is a disc to wrap your senses around. Totally brilliant. 1st original French pressings are rare and next to impossible to dig up. Dutch pressings are common, but…everyone is after a clean French one. Here is one, beautiful original copy and 1/2 the price of a mint one. Great condition.

New to the e-bay game but long experience in selling records so bid with confidence.

 

Our grading scale: Mint/ Near Mint/ Excellent/ VG++/. We don’t sell anything below VG++. VG++ grade is basically that the record has some scuffs and has wear. Excellent: record has hardly no visible defects and is preserved with care and attention, the condition most collectors take pride in to file away. Near Mint: a dash below mint, just perfect. Mint: like new.
