Raw Velvet

LP (Item 697748) Dunhill/ABC, Early 70s — Condition: Very Good+
Bobby Whitlock really comes into his own here – working in a style that's tighter and more confident than his debut – yet which is also still drenched in all the best southern styles of his roots! Production is rich, but never too commercial – and the album shows some of the growth in roots rock that was taking place with other acts of the same nature at the time – a space that's not far from The Band or Little Feat, but which also echoes more of Whitlock's Tennessee background overall. Eric Clapton plays on one track – and titles include "Tell The Truth", "Write You A Letter", "Hello LA Bye Bye Birmingham", "Think About It", "Satisfied", and "Dearest I Wonder".  © 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.
(In the textured cover, with splitting on the spine, some edge wear.)

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.

Emitt Rhodes
Dunhill, 1970. Near Mint- Gatefold
A really great self-titled set from Emitt Rhodes – a compelling California singer who hardly ever gets his due!

Roy Head

Same People
Dunhill, 1970. Sealed
A classic bit of southern funky rock from Roy Head – an artist who's in the same territory here as Tony Joe White on his early albums for Monument!

Steely Dan

Katy Lied
ABC, 1975. Near Mint-
Steely Dan really hitting the heights – moving into hipper, more sophisticated territory than before – pushing the envelope with both their music and lyrics, which are completely sublime!

Steely Dan

Pretzel Logic
ABC, 1974. Near Mint-
Magical music from the team of Donald Fagan and Walter Becker – one of those records that seems to state its existence in simple, straightforward terms – but which is also filled with undeniably complex moments! There's a definite echo of older jazz here – heard famously in the ... LP, Vinyl record album

Daughter Of Time
Dunhill, 1970. Very Good+ Gatefold
A full-on jazz rock classic from Colosseum – still grooving hard here, and in an expanded version of their early sound!

Sunforest
Blue Thumb, 1973. Near Mint-
Later work by Tom Rapp – recorded after his early years with Pearls Before Swine, when Rapp was working on his own as a singer/songwriter, and really expanding his own unique musical vision.
