Klaus Schulze (Tangerine Dream) – Timewind original UK LP

Offered for sale is an original UK pressing of Timewind, the fifth album by Klaus Schulze.

About this copy: This copy of Timewind is a 1975 UK pressing on the Caroline label.

The cover is M-. The disc is M- and looks unplayed. Clean disc!

A nice copy of a scarce (and pretty good) electronic LP.

Background: Released in 1975, Timewind was the fifth album by Tangerine Dream founding member Klaus Schulze.

Allmusic.com gave Timewind a 4 star review:

Dedicated to Richard Wagner, Timewind is a 60-minute electronic expedition that is broken up into two half-hour tracks, “Bayreuth Return” and “Wahnfried 1883.” The first 30 minutes involves icy pulsations and lengthy tonal flights that unnoticeably converge into each other. While one rhythm gains momentum, the other one slowly fades into a bubbly electronic bath of bright swirls and meandering keyboard waves. Similar to early Tangerine Dream, the music here rises and falls above a distant sonic horizon, and the effect is truly mesmerizing. One specific flow can last for minutes, while small, detailed noises adhere themselves to the main electronic run. On the second track, more of the same far-off synthesized altering takes place, but the washes of keyboard become inoculated with a sharper, more precise sound. Longer notes build into resilient pieces with the same comforting result. This album will sketch a barren wasteland in the mind through the wispiness of the wind-like effects. Timewind serves as splendid mood music, and the ears are forever kept busy following Schulze’s electronic wandering.

Klaus Schulze (Tangerine Dream) – X 1978 German 2 LP set

Offered for sale is an original German pressing of the double album X, the tenth album by Klaus Schulze.

About this copy: This copy of X is a 1978 German pressing on the orange Brain label.

The gatefold cover is VG+ with faint ring wear and slight creases in the lamination.

The two discs are M- with one or two spindle marks on the labels, but no marks on the vinyl. Clean discs!

A nice copy of a scarce Klaus Schulze LP.

Background: Released in 1978, X was the tenth solo album by German electronic musician Klaus Schulze.

Allmusic.com gave X a 4 star review:

Each track on X or “Ten” (since it’s Schulze’s tenth release ) is titled after famous German personalities, but it’s the provocative electronic music within the names that makes this one of his best albums. On this two-CD set, Schulze’s sequencer is joined by electric guitar and drums, that pleasingly brings an earthy, simplistic feel into his pastiches. Still captivating and alluring with his multi- keyboard entourage, the tracks each exhibit a personality all their own. … A true pioneer at his craft, Schulze’s X is one of the more definitive albums of his career, since it’s length and instrumental combinations make for a multifaceted electronic piece.

Allmusic.com gave Mirage a 4 1/2 star review:

Mirage is one of Klaus Schulze’s best albums. It is certainly among the eeriest e-music sets ever. He created it as “an electronic winter landscape dedicated to Hans Dieter Schulze.” … The album has cold and icy textures that take listeners to the brink of the winter solstice. The experimental timbres give the set a sci-fi feel. This is vital space music.

Rolling Stones – Metamorphosis Japan white label promotional LP with obi and promo flyer

rolling stones metamorphosis japan promo lp

Offered for sale is an original white label promotional copy of the compilation album Metamorphosis by the Rolling Stones, including the original obi and a promotional flyer.

About this copy: This copy of Metamorphosis is a 1975 Japanese pressing on the London label.

The cover is M-, with one or two foxing spots. The obi is VG++ with slight foxing on the back.

The lyric insert is VG++ with slight discoloration from age one one edge. The promotional flyer is M-.

The white label promo disc is M- with one or two spindle marks on the labels, but no marks on the vinyl. Clean disc!

A nice copy of a rare Rolling Stones LP.

Background: Released in 1975, Metamorphosis was a compilation album by the Rolling Stones that featured alternate versions and demos of some of their 1964-1969 songs.

The album reached #8 on the U.S. album chart and #45 on the UK chart.

Allmusic.com gave Metamorphosis a 3 star review:

Though it remains the only Rolling Stones outtakes collection album ever to be officially released, Metamorphosis is one of those albums that has been slighted by almost everyone who has touched it, a problem that lies in its genesis. While both the Stones and former manager Allen Klein agreed that some form of archive release was necessary, if only to stem the then-ongoing flow of bootlegs, they could not agree how to present it. Of the two, the band’s own version of the album, compiled by Bill Wyman, probably came closest to the fan’s ideal, cherrypicking the vaults for some of the more legendary outtakes and oddities for a bird’s-eye view of the entire band’s creative brilliance. Klein, on the other hand, chose to approach the issue from the songwriting point-of-view, focusing on the wealth of demos for songs that Jagger/Richards gave away (usually to artists being produced by Andrew Oldham) and which, therefore, frequently featured more session men than Rolling Stones. …All of which adds up to an impressive pedigree, whatever the circumstances behind the album, and whatever else could have been included on it. Indeed, if there are any criticisms to be made, it is that the album sleeve itself is singularly uninformative, and the contents are seriously jumbled. But those are its only sins. Everything else you’ve heard about it is simply wishful (or otherwise) thinking.

Rolling Stones – Some Girls Japan white label promotional LP with poster and press release

rolling stones some girls japan promo lp

Offered for sale is an original Japanese white label promotional copy of Some Girls by the Rolling Stones, including the original obi and a five page promo-only press release.

About this copy: This copy of Some Girls is a 1978 Japanese pressing on the Rolling Stones label.

The cover is VG++ and close to M- with slight corner wear. The obi is M-. The custom inner sleeve is M-.

The lyric insert is VG+ with a bit of discoloration from age and a corner fold. The five page press release (in Japanese) is M-.

The white label promo disc is M- and may be unplayed. Clean disc!

A beautiful copy of a classic Stones LP.

Background: The Rolling Stones’ 1978 LP Some Girls is one of their best-selling albums ever, reaching #1 on the charts in both the U.S. and the UK. It’s also the album that featured their last #1 hit, “Miss You.”

The album featured a die-cut cover that included photos of both band members and famous celebrities. Shortly after the release of the album, the band was sued by the representatives of some of those famous people, forcing the record company to remove the images of everyone but the band members.

The words “cover under reconstruction” appeared where the images of Lucille Ball, Jackie Onassis and Marilyn Monroe had appeared in the earlier design.

Allmusic.com gave Some Girls a 5 star review:

During the mid-’70s, the Rolling Stones remained massively popular, but their records suffered from Jagger’s fascination with celebrity and Keith’s worsening drug habit. By 1978, both punk and disco had swept the group off the front pages, and Some Girls was their fiery response to the younger generation. Opening with the disco-blues thump of “Miss You,” Some Girls is a tough, focused, and exciting record, full of more hooks and energy than any Stones record since Exile on Main St. Even though the Stones make disco their own, they never quite take punk on their own ground. Instead, their rockers sound harder and nastier than they have in years…. Some Girls may not have the back-street aggression of their ’60s records, or the majestic, drugged-out murk of their early-’70s work, but its brand of glitzy, decadent hard rock still makes it a definitive Stones album.

Background: Released in 1980, Eagles Live was the first live album by the Eagles.

The album reached #6 on the U.S. album chart and #26 on the UK chart.

Allmusic.com gave Eagles Live a 3 star review:

Although Eagles Live includes four tracks recorded in the fall of 1976 (thus allowing for the inclusion of departed singer Randy Meisner on “Take It to the Limit”), the bulk of the album comes from the end of the Eagles’ 1980 tour, just before they broke up, and it reflects their late concert repertoire, largely drawn from Hotel California and The Long Run. … The previously unrecorded rendition of Steve Young’s “Seven Bridges Road” is welcome, and the album would have benefited from more surprises as well as a livelier approach to a live recording.

Bee Gees – Massachusetts (Horizontal) 1968 Japan white label promotional LP with obi

Bee Gees ‎– Massachusetts japan promo lp

About this copy: This copy of Massachusetts is a 1968 Japanese pressing on the Polydor label.

A nice copy of a very rare Bee Gees LP.

Background: Released in 1968, Horizontal (titled Massachusetts in Japan) was the fourth album by the Bee Gees, but their second to get worldwide distribution.

The album reached #12 on the U.S. charts and #16 on the UK chart.

Allmusic.com gave Horizontal a 3 1/2 star review:

The group’s second album, cut late in 1967 amid their first major British success, is less focused than their first, but also presents a more majestic sound than its predecessor. The opening track, “World,” is a poignant, even somber yet gorgeous ballad filled with clever lyrics, and highlighted by a quavering Mellotron accompaniment, a very close grand piano sound (anticipating elements of the Odessa album), and twangy fuzz-tone guitar. …Side two of the original LP was more upbeat, opening with the group’s catchy chart-topping British hit, “Massachusetts,” followed by the cheerful “Harry Braff.” “The Earnest of Being George” and “The Change Is Made” are attempts at a harder rock sound, featuring heavy guitar on both and an attempt at bluesy feel on the latter, while the title track is a trippy psychedelic number that closes the album on an upbeat note.

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young – Deja Vu original Japan LP with obi

crosby, stills, nash & young deja vu japan lp

Offered for sale is an original Japanese pressing of Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, including the original obi and lyric insert.

About this copy: This copy of Deja Vu is a 1970 pressing on the blue and green Atlantic label, pressed by Nippon Grammophon.

The cover is M-. The obi is VG with several wrinkles, a repaired tear in the center, fading at the top edge, and small holes near the top and bottom edges. Someone likely had the obi hanging on their wall. The “hojyuhyo,” or reorder tag, is still attached.

The lyric insert is M-.

The disc is VG+, with some light scuffs on each side. There are a many spindle marks on the labels. The disc plays with some noise.

A nice, if imperfect, copy of a terrific LP that is very hard to find as a first pressing.

Background: Deja Vu is the second album by Crosby, Stills and Nash, with the addition of Stills’ former bandmate in Buffalo Springfield, Neil Young. The album reportedly took 800 hours of studio time to record, and became one of the most anticipated releases of all time.

Deja Vu reached #1 on the U.S. album charts and has been certified platinum 7 times. It also reached #5 in the UK. The songs “Our House,” “Teach Your Children,” and “Woodstock,” all reached the American Top 40.

Allmusic.com gave Deja Vu a rare 5 star review:

One of the most hotly awaited second albums in history — right up there with those by the Beatles and the Band — Déjà Vu lived up to its expectations and rose to number one on the charts. …. Déjà Vu worked as an album, a product of four potent musical talents who were all ascending to the top of their game coupled with some very skilled production, engineering, and editing. There were also some obvious virtues in evidence — the addition of Neil Young to the Crosby, Stills & Nash lineup added to the level of virtuosity, with Young and Stephen Stills rising to new levels of complexity and volume on their guitars…. All of this variety made Déjà Vu a rich musical banquet for the most serious and personal listeners, while mass audiences reveled in the glorious harmonies and the thundering electric guitars, which were presented in even more dramatic and expansive fashion on the tour that followed.
