Description

"THE REAL THING - the real thing - 1973? - ARTRONICS - ART-7033 - RARE PRIVATE MN XIAN FOLK ALBUM *AUTOGRAPHED*"  

SLEEVE SHOWS SOME VERY LIGHT RIGNWEAR BUT IS IN AMAZING SHAPE. EXCELLENT CORNERS AND SEAMS. VINYL IS IN AMAZING SHAPE, DECENT LUSTRE WITH ONLY A FEW VERY LIGHT SCRATCHES THAT DO NOT AFFECT PLAY (SEE PICTURES FOR DETAILS). TO TOP IT ALL OFF THE ALBUM SLEEVE HAS BEEN AUTOGRAPHED BY ALL THE BAND MEMBERS. YOU CAN SEE A COUPLE OF THEM ON THE CLOSE UP PICTURES. ANOTHER GREAT MINNESOTA PRIVATE PRESS JESUS MUSIC ALBUM BY 'THE REAL THING' ON THE  ARTRONICS LABEL. I ACTUALLY LIKE THIS ALBUM BETTER THAN 'ARTWORK' DUE TO IT'S MORE GARAGE ORIENTED SOUND. THIS IS MY LAST FULLY AUTOGRAPHED COPY OF THIS ALBUM AND IT IS WITH GREAT RELUCTANCE THAT I LET IT GO... I'VE GOT SOME OTHER COOL STUFF I'M SAVING UP FOR. SERIOUS COLLECTORS OF XIAN FOLK AND JESUS MUSIC, GRAB THIS COPY WHILE YOU HAVE THE CHANCE!

"THE REAL THING'S SELF-TITLED ALBUM ADDS ORGAN AND FEMALE VOCALS TO THE LINE-UP. NOT QUITE AS SATISFYING OVERALL AS ARTWORK, BUT THERE ARE A COUPLE PLEASANT SURPRISES. FIRST IS A CRUDE COVER OF 'JESUS IS JUST ALRIGHT' (HERE ENTITLED 'SUITE: JESUS') THAT HAS A NICE ORGAN ROCK SOUND, PHASED RHYTHM GUITAR, HEAVY PERCUSSION AND A COOL BASEMENT ELECTRIC GUITAR SOLO. ALSO OF NOTE IS THE SOMBER BALLAD 'TRAVELLING MAN' WHICH SLOWLY DRONES ALONG WITH SOME EFFECTIVE DISTORTED FUZZ GUITAR LEADS. THOSE TWO TRACKS INCLUDE 'NO SONGS OF SADNESS', 'HARP', 'HOKIE', PLUS COVERS OF GODSPELL'S 'SAVE THE PEOPLE' AND JUDEE SILL'S 'CROSMAKER'. ST. PAUL MINNESOTA STUDIO."

(REVIEW BY KEN SCOTT - THE ARCHIVIST)
