■ コンディション ■
A / A-
ジャケット:正面上部にわずかな薄汚れ。これ以外は新品同様極美品です。
ディスク:レーベルはヒゲ無し。盤面はわずかな紙スレ程度の美品です。ざっと全編試聴しました。軽いチリプチが少々出る程度。良好に鑑賞できます。実際の音源でご確認ください。
ハーパーズ・ウィークリーの2017年「モーニング・カムズ」。
スウェーデンのルーツ系バンドのデビュー作。といってもたぶんこれ以降のリリースはないと思います。
このアルバム発売当初に人に教えてもらって一発で気に入り聴きまくった思い出があります(私はCDで聴いてましたが)。LPが出ているなんて知りませんでしたね。彼の国のディーラーさんによるとまず見かけることはないということです。
内容は文句なし!米国の本家アメリカーナ勢も真っ青になるくらいの存在感を放っています。
グスタフ・ヨハンソンという人がリーダー格のようで、全曲提供してリード・ヴォーカルもとっています。ちなみにすべて英語です。良曲の連続で捨て曲一切なし。完成度の高さも特筆ものです。
まるでTownes Van Zandtが蘇ったような錯覚を抱く瞬間もあってたまりませんね!
大推薦盤であります。
もちろんスウェーデン・オリジナル盤。激レア・アナログ盤。
試聴曲は現品からの取り込み音源です。
