2L-07467 - McDonald And Giles / McDonald And Giles (UK Pink Island Early Issue) - Sold Out
*** LP : USK 1970 / Island / ILPS-9126 ***
■ コンディション ■
A- / B
ジャケット:非コーティングの見開きジャケット。四隅軽いスレ、上辺は薄スレちらほら、下辺は軽いスレ、背表紙は折れ目にスレ。正面はよく見ないとわからないレベルの微細なスレのみできれい。裏面は上下に薄スレが出ていますがまずまずきれい。中面もきれいです。
ディスク:レーベルはヒゲがそこそこ出ています。盤面も薄スレがそこそこ出ておりヘアラインが数本見られます。ほとんどがごく表面的なものですがA面後半の静かなパートとB面初めの方で小さなプツ音を生じます。軽いものなので普通に鑑賞するには問題ないレベルかと思います。取り込み音源でご確認ください。これ以外は所々で軽いチリプチやプツ音を拾うぐらいでまずまずです。
マトリクスはA-2U/B-2U。
パテントNo.入り内袋付属。
マクドナルド・アンド・ジャイルスの唯一作。
キングクリムゾンを脱退したばかりのイアン・マクドナルドとマイケル・ジャイルズによるブリティッシュロック史上にさん然と輝く言わずと知れた名盤中の名盤ですね。
私の所有レコードは何のへんてつもないぼろい日本盤ですが、高校時代に「宮殿」とともに聴きまくって細部のすみからすみまで頭の中にしみついてしまっています。
プログレとかフォークとかを超えて、英国のロックをたしなむ方ならば必携の名盤です。
美しい英国オリジナル盤。
1stプレスではありませんがピンクアイランドの初期盤です。

From the liner notes:
"Suite in C" was written by Ian McDonald in Detroit, Los Angeles and Earls Court between December 1969 and February 1970.
"Is She Waiting?" was written in Earls Court in the summer of 1969, between King Crimson gigs.
"Birdman" was mostly written in the spring of 1968, apart from the Flying bit which was done in 1970. Original idea by Peter Sinfield.
"Tomorrow's People" was written by Michael Giles in 1967, and expanded and arranged in 1970. The song was dedicated to Tina and Mandy, his children.
The lyrics for "Birdman" begin "Long ago / In Walthamstow". Walthamstow Marshes was the location of Alliot Verdon Roe's attempts to build and fly his early aeroplanes. (A.V. Roe was the first British aviator and founder of Avro Aircraft Company).
The parenthetical acronym in the title of "The Inventor's Dream (O.U.A.T.)" stands for "Once Upon a Time."
