Cheap Thrills

LP (Item 594979) Columbia, 1968 — Condition: Very Good+
Gatefold
Also available
Big Brother & The Holding Company — Cheap Thrills (with bonus tracks) ... CD 2.99
Cheap Thrills, maybe – but they cut deeply and last forever! This is one of greatest albums by Big Brother & The The Holding Company – and it's also one of the most important in cementing the legacy of singer Janis Joplin. The raw manic energy of the group at their live best is somehow bottled and presented on record as perfectly as ever could be – and even better are the delicate moments that show such an incredible depth! Titles include "Turtle Blues", "Oh Sweet Mary", "Ball & Chain", "Summertime", "Piece Of My Heart", and "I Need A Man To Love".  © 1996-2023, Dusty Groove, Inc.
(Stereo 360 Sound pressing.)

Very Good + (plus)

  • Vinyl should be very clean, but can have less luster than near mint.
  • Should still shine under a light, but one or two marks may show up when tilted.
  • Can have a few small marks that may show up easily, but which do not affect play at all. Most marks of this quality will disappear when the record is tilted, and will not be felt with the back of a fingernail.
  • This is the kind of record that will play "near mint", but which will have some signs of use (although not major ones).
  • May have slight 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.

Big Brother & The Holding Company

Big Brother & The Holding Company
Mainstream, 1967. Very Good+
The first full album featuring the incredible voice of Janis Joplin, as the singer of Big Brother & The Holding Company! Even at this early point, it's clear that there's some really incredible things happening with this band. Originally released on Mainstream, the production is a bit thin ... LP, Vinyl record album

Jimmy Webb

Angel Heart
Columbia, 1982. Near Mint-
A later set from the great Jimmy Webb – the crucial late 60s songwriter who created so many hits for other people before finally stepping out on his own! Jimmy's got a sound here that's a bit like his late 70s albums on Atlantic – well-produced, with maybe an undercurrent of soul ... LP, Vinyl record album

Fate For Breakfast
Columbia, 1979. Sealed
(Still sealed, with a cutout notch and Factory Sealed sticker.) LP, Vinyl record album
Columbia, 1975. Near Mint-
We've gotta admit, this record sounds a lot better with the passing of time than we might have expected – thanks in part to some totally sweet Fender Rhodes, used often, and in all the best ways to pepper the tunes! Barry Beckett and Bob James handle the keys – and there's even some ... LP, Vinyl record album

Laura Nyro

Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan
Columbia, 1962. Near Mint-
Sure, the young Bob Dylan might look a bit hokey on the cover – but he's already out there way ahead of the pack – and starting to blow away any of the less interesting pop folkies who'd been crowding into the Greenwich Village scene of the early 60s! There's a difference here right ... LP, Vinyl record album

Bob Dylan/The Band

Basement Tapes
Columbia, Late 60s/1975. Very Good+ 2LP Gatefold
Dylan & The Band's legendary Basement Tapes – those amazing late 60s Woodstock recordings – and an album that was a classic long before it was officially released in the mid 70s! Bootleg after bootleg of some these recordings might have sold enough copies on the grey market in the ... LP, Vinyl record album

Bob Dylan

Hard Rain
Columbia, 1976. Near Mint-
A live document of the mid 70s Rolling Thunder Revue era! The best of it recasts classic Dylan songs as well as ones from the then recent Blood On The Tracks as raucous rock & roll tunes, which might've puzzled a lot of longtime fans, critics, and maybe even casual concertgoers at the time, but ... LP, Vinyl record album

Aerosmith

Draw The Line
Columbia, 1977. Very Good+
(Includes the heavy inner sleeve and t-shirt offer insert. Cover has yellowing from age and some wear.) LP, Vinyl record album
Columbia, 2017. Near Mint- 3LP
Bob Dylan takes on the American songbook once again – revisiting the territory of classic 20th century songwriters that he touched on the Fallen Angels album, but in an overstuffed mode that definitely warrants the Triplicate title! The triple-length format really has Dylan going to town on ... LP, Vinyl record album

Mountain

Best Of Mountain
Columbia/Windfall, 1970s. Sealed Gatefold
Sure, these guys are mostly a rock group – but they've got a talent for funky jamming and long grooves that's always made them a favorite with the crossover soul crowd. This best of collection is unfortunately missing the track "Long Red" – but it does include many other ... LP, Vinyl record album

Tim Buckley

Happy Sad
Elektra, Late 60s. Near Mint-
One of Tim Buckley's greatest albums ever – thanks to some incredible work by Dave Friedman on vibes! Friedman's sound really brings out the jazziness in Buckley's writing and phrasing – making for a beautiful blend with the album's 12 string guitar work and acoustic percussion – ...
