Gotten extinct as of late, a really hard find, sought after hard heavy early 1970 progressive rock ...the very first BIRTH CONTROL...alternate cover pressing on the underground-rock German "Metronome" label ...
The heaviest BIRTH CONTROL had to offer, though they made several albums and were a popular pioneering 'Krautrock' band, none of their albums were consitantly as hard'n'heavy as their 1970 first...loaded with mean riffing chops, grizzly dirty distortion guitar battling surging Hammond organ and gravel throaty vocals...Birth Control #1 is on fire...
Sonic inspirations from 1970...driving heavy rock with a great dose of progressive moves. The music is largely dominated by epic Hammond organ sequences and fuzzing guitar sections.
"No Drugs" climaxes the album: a venomous, aggressive, dark composition with austere melody, searing guitar lines and infectious sound. There are some excellent numbers here. "Recollection" and the long "Sundown" are the highlights. Both feature great organ play and fuzz guitar ...the latter has an excellent upbeat tempo. They are the pure sound collectors of the genre seek.
This album also features other strong tracks like "Deep Inside" & "Foolish Action". Surprisingly, the vocals are pretty decent which is not always the case with German bands.
The cover of "Light My Fire" fits perfectly well in their repertoire. The sound of the organ is of course not the Manzarek one, but, for sure, this version is quite good. Faster than the great original.
This first BIRTH CONTROL has become increasingly difficult to find, especially in minty clean collectible condition...as this...
No Drugs (4:01)
Recollection (6:24)
Deep Inside (4:40)
Foolish Action (4:32)
II
Sundown (10:02)
Change Of Mind (4:42)
Light My Fire (5:40)
CONDITION: The cover: rated: VG++ very thin/delicate and laminated. Would have graded "EX" but for some white-ish discoloration at bottom, minor but there so down grading for that. Otherwise a clean copy -- best we've had out of 3 over the past few years. The alternate cover design has gotten very hard to find... There are no delete marks, no split seams, no writing ...
The vinyl: Rated: "EX" (excellent) with bright shine. Maybe inner sleeve scuffs, not scratched. expect audio to play enjoyable. Both German Metronome labels are clean A cool addition to anyone's music library!
