Horse

LP (Item 71643) Liberty, 1968 — Condition: Very Good+
One of the best late 60s albums by the Ventures – a lot more hard-wailing than usual – and done with a fair bit of influence from funk and soul music too! The title cut gives the album away nicely – as it's a cover of Cliff Nobles' classic funky 45 "The Horse", done with more guitars than the horns of the original – and with a funky edge that's a lot sharper than any of The Ventures' other work! Other tracks follow suit by borrowing lots from the harder side of 60s soul – thanks to arrangements from George Tipton and Warren Barker – both of whom sound even groover here than usual. Other sweet tracks include versions of "Licking Stick Licking Stick", "Here Comes The Judge", "Choo Choo Train", and "Grazing In The Grass" – as well as the tasty originals "Soul Breeze" and "Horse Power". Great stuff – really!  © 1996-2025, Dusty Groove, Inc.
(Stereo pressing. Side 1 has a few non-audible bubbles. Cover has a cut corner.)

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.

Condition Notes

If something is relevant, we try to describe it in the notes — especially if it is release or pressing details, or 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, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

Eddie Cochran

Singin' To My Baby
Liberty, 1957. Near Mint-
One of the weirdest moments we've ever heard from early rocker Eddie Cochran – but one of the coolest too! The record has less of the raw rock material that you might know from Eddie's greater fame – and it mixes his core rockabilly modes with some fuller pop backings from Johnny Mann, ...

Hour Glass

Power Of Love
Liberty, 1968. Very Good+
An excellent second set from Hour Glass – the pre-Allman Brothers Band that featured both Duane and Gregg Allman, the latter of whom is really coming into his own on the record! Unlike the group's debut, this one features a lot more original material by Gregg – and guitars that start ... LP, Vinyl record album

Vapors

Magnets
Liberty, 1981. Near Mint-
The overlooked second album from The Vapors – a set that's every bit as tuneful and catchy as their first – a blend of early punk modes with a growing sense of songcraft – maybe in the same place at the moment as work by The Undertones, or even The Jam – with whom the group ...

Liberty, 1969. Very Good Gatefold
A very cool record from one of those psych groups who were lucky enough to get a chance to work open and free during the short time Liberty Records was experimenting with new rock music! The group have a gritty edge at times – almost Texas psych, but with a bit more Cali focus – and ... LP, Vinyl record album

Jan & Dean

Ride The Wild Surf
Liberty, Mid 60s. Very Good+
Plenty of surf number stepping out here – but often with that great second-chapter Beach Boys mode – that pre-Pet Sounds style that's often got some darker currents underneath! The pair are great in the lead, and get a bit of harmony support from The Fantastic Baggys – and some ... LP, Vinyl record album
