\ USA - DECCA RECORDS - DL 75257
Scarce 1970 original vinyl on the USA DECCA label...these cats made two very sought and collectible records, "HELP" is their first , a fine bluesy and rural edged rocker. A very rhythmically strong album with killer sneaky guitar. Recommended if you like Moby Grape... cuts ("Run Away" for example) muscle up nicely. Help's first album hasn't attracted quite the attention as their collector-friendly second, but it's just as good with a solid mix of rural rock, folk rock and poprock -- it cooks really hard despite there not being any distortion on the guitars. There appear to be no instrumental overdubs, just a trio of guitar, bass and drums, yet the excellent musicianship (especially the rock-solid rhythm section) makes the sound full and rich. Side one is full of energy, melodic songwriting, and excellent vocals, and is solid all the way through. Side two is somewhat less inspired, but still pretty good, and the album is definitely recommended.

CONDITION: The cover is VG(+) because of general shelf wear (light ring) on front while the back group photo is clean VG++. Light rub on spine/seam, nothing bad, overall no seam splits and a keeper till that M- comes along, but given the popularity and high expense clean originals are going for, this may well suit many collectors ...small promo sticker on back cover (see photo #2)
The vinyl is nice, all glossy and clean: "EX" (excellent) ...plays TOP level too....
A cool addition to anyone's music library!
