Fearless

LP (Item 565380) Reprise (UK), 1971 — Condition: Near Mint-
Gatefold
Also available
Family — Fearless (3CD set – with bonus tracks) ... CD 28.99
One of our favorite moments in the strong run of records from Family – a set that's still strongly defined by the vocals and songwriting of Roger Chapman, but which also has a lot more going on as well! John Wetton's joined the group for this album, and adds in bass and a bit of vocals – and seems to really jump start their sound in a great way – and the production is great, too – really opening up with some of those new styles that were helping change the UK scene as progressive acts found a way to pack more into a smaller space – resulting in shorter tunes that still bristled with plenty of excitement! The vocal interplay is especially great – and titles include "Between Blue & Me", "Spanish Tide", "Burning Bridges", "Take Your Partners", "Crinkly Grin", "Larf & Sing", "Save Some For Thee", and "Satdy Barfly".  © 1996-2023, Dusty Groove, Inc.
(US pressing on United Artists, in the die-cut gatefold booklet cover, including the printed inner sleeve. Cover has a cut corner and light wear.)

Near Mint - (minus)

  • Black vinyl that may show a slight amount of dust or dirt.
  • Should still be very shiny under a light, even with slight amount of dust on surface.
  • One or two small marks that would make an otherwise near perfect record slightly less so. These marks cannot be too deep, and should only be surface marks that won't affect play, but might detract from the looks.
  • May have some flaws and discoloration in the vinyl, but only those that would be intrinsic to the pressing. These should disappear when the record is tilted under the light, and will only show up when looking straight at the record. (Buddah and ABC pressings from the 70's are a good example of this.)
  • May have some slight marks from aging of the paper sleeve on the vinyl.
  • Possible minor surface noise when played.

Additional Marks & Notes

If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

United Artists, 1973. Near Mint-
A fun late album by Family! Titled It's Only A Movie and with numbers that are sometimes kind of cheekily influenced by the movies, from the the wild west piano of the title track, to sweeter string accents, brass and more – with some more straight forward, kinda laidback or more chugging ...

Family

Song For Me
Reprise, 1970. Very Good+ Gatefold
An amazing shift for Family – the group's first album after Rick Grech left for Blind Faith – and a set that has the group really reinventing their sound! The vocals of Roger Chapman are maybe even more dynamic and upfront than ever before – really finding that special sort of ... LP, Vinyl record album

Family

Anyway
United Artists, 1970. Near Mint-
A record that has Family very much at the top of their game – and working in a format that some of their contemporaries were trying on record at the time – serving up one side of live material, and one set in the studio! Although the group are sometimes linked to the prog scene of the ... LP, Vinyl record album
Reprise, 1966. Very Good+
A very cool later album from Duane Eddy – done at a time when his old wonderproducer Lee Hazlewood was having great success at Reprise – where he invited Eddy for an update of their previous style! Duane's in the lead on guitar, and tunes have a very groovy 60s vibe – with titles ... LP, Vinyl record album
Brother/Reprise, 1975. Very Good+
Titles include "God Only Knows", "Wouldn't It Be Nice", "Good Vibrations", "Heroes & Villians", "Sloop John B" and more! LP, Vinyl record album

Jimi Hendrix Experience

Electric Ladyland
Reprise, 1968. Very Good 2LP Gatefold
A true classic by Jimi with the original Experience lineup – the third of three straight up masterpiece LPs to come out in just over a year's time by the group! You could call the leftfield astral effects in the mix experimental if you had to – innovations in the studio with echo, that ... LP, Vinyl record album

(Original EU Reprise/Duck pressing. Cover has light wear.) LP, Vinyl record album

Pearls Before Swine/Thos Rapp

City Of Gold
Reprise, 1971. Very Good+
A return to folksier forms for Tom Rapp and Pearls Before Swine – working here in territory that's very different than some of the baroque light arrangements used on previous records. Rapp's emerging as a more confident singer/songwriter – recording in an almost Dylan-like setting, but ... LP, Vinyl record album
Reprise, 1975. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold
The album that brought the excellent, but heretofore underappreciated duo of Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks into the band – and pretty much changed the fabric of 70s rock!

Jethro Tull

Benefit
Chrysalis/Reprise, 1970. Very Good+
An early gem from Jethro Tull – and a set that has the group really reaching forth with some of their more complicated, jazz-based musical impulses – while still holding onto some of the rawer power of the early days too! The album's lesser-known than some of the group's earlier hits ... LP, Vinyl record album
