*** LP ： UK 1975 / Retreat / RTL 6004 ***
■ コンディション ■
A- / A
ジャケット：細かなエンボス加工の美しいぺらジャケです。四隅微スレ。上下辺薄スレちらほら、背表紙はきれい。表裏とも微スレのみでまずまずきれい。正面上部と右下に軽いシワ。
ディスク：レーベルは微細なヒゲがほんの少し。盤面はほとんど使用感のない美品です。
マトリクスはA-2U/B-3U。これしかないはず。
歌詞カード付属。
パテントNo.入り白内袋付属。
チャス＆デイヴの「ワン・フィング・ン・アヌヴァ」。
Chas & Daveのデビュー作かつOily Ragsの次作ということになります。
オイリー・ラグスほど泥臭くはないですが、しっかり路線踏襲の傑作です。ホーンセクション炸裂の重厚なスワンプサウンドとパブロック的な軽みのバランスが絶妙でいいんですよね。
英国スワンプ、パブロックのファンに大推薦！
このアルバムは79年にEMIから再発され一般的にはそちらを見かけることが多いと思いますが、本品は激レアなリトリート・オリジナル盤です。美品。
試聴曲は現品からの取り込み音源です。
