Songs For A Tailor

LP (Item 9063) Atco, 1969 — Condition: Very Good
Also available
Jack Bruce — Songs For A Tailor (with bonus tracks) ... CD 8.99
A wild batch of jazz rock tunes – recorded by ex-Cream bassist Jack Bruce, along with a host of like-minded luminaries that include Chris Spedding, Harry Beckett, Dick Heckstall-Smith, and John Hisemann. Unlike Bruce's first solo album – Things We Like – which was an all-jazz outing, this album features Bruce singing as well, and an overall approach that has more of a rock-based song structure – yet still many of the expansive styles embraced by the Brit jazz rock generation of the time. Titles include "Rope Ladder To The Moon", "Theme For An Imaginary Western", "Tickets To Water Falls", and "The Clearout".  © 1996-2023, Dusty Groove, Inc.
(Yellow label Atco pressing with CTH suffix. Cover has surface wear, aging, and a bit of light waviness on the bottom.)

Very Good

  • Vinyl can have some dirt, but nothing major.
  • May not shine under light, but should still be pretty clean, and not too dirty.
  • May have a number of marks (5 to 10 at most), and obvious signs of play, but never a big cluster of them, or any major mark that would be very deep. Most marks should still not click under a fingernail.
  • May not look near perfect, but should play fairly well, with slight surface noise, and the occasional click in part of a song, but never throughout a whole song or more.
  • This is clearly a copy that was played by someone a number of times, but which could also be a good "play copy" for someone new.

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.

Jack Bruce

Out Of The Storm
RSO, 1974. Near Mint-
One of the most mind-expanding albums we've ever heard from Jack Bruce – a really strong outing from 1974, one that shows him growing and growing as an artists in his years away from Cream! The tracks have a feel that's a bit more wiry than some of Bruce's other solo work – stripped ... LP, Vinyl record album

Iron Butterfly

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida
Atco, 1968. Very Good
The album that rocked a million dorm rooms back in the 60s – and for good reason, too – given that the title track is a side-long, totally jamming monster – the kind of track that was really revolutionary at the time, and which still has a hell of an impact all these many years ...

Swept Away
Atco, 1977. Very Good+

Fat Mattress

Fat Mattress II
Atco, 1970. Near Mint-
A second set of psychedelic folk grooves from Fat Mattress – featuring bassist Noel Redding, back working again with drummer Pete Kircher, a bandmate from The Lonely Ones before Noel went on the to massive popularity with the Jimi Hendrix Experience! Fat Mattress II has a couple of fuzzier ... LP, Vinyl record album

Fat Mattress

Fat Mattress
Atco, 1969. Very Good+ Gatefold
One of the better moments of the underground scene on Atlantic at the end of the 60s – a pretty cool little group led by Noel Redding! There's a few slightly soulful moments on the set that make it nicely appealing to our ears – a bit hippy dippy to be sure, but with some nice drums, ... LP, Vinyl record album

Amon Duul II

Hijack
Atco, 1974. Very Good+
One of the most widely-circulated albums from the second incarnation of Amon Duul – and one of the most striking as well! The set's got a bit more focus than some of their earlier efforts, but a sound that's still plenty darn trippy – with more carefully-constructed passages that bring ... LP, Vinyl record album

Heads Hands & Feet

Old Soldiers Never Die
Atco, 1973. Near Mint- Gatefold
An underground 70s classic from group with a vibe that's a bit hard to peg, and which is definitely very much their own – sometimes rootsy, sometimes more hard rock – and graced with excellent guitar from Albert Lee throughout! At some level, the variety here is very similar to that in ... LP, Vinyl record album

High Voltage
Atco, 1976. Near Mint-
(Yellow label pressing with SP suffix. Cover has some ringwear.) LP, Vinyl record album

Iron Butterfly

Ball
Atco, 1969. Very Good+ Gatefold
A killer classic from Iron Butterfly – a group who always had way more to offer than their hits, as you'll find out when dipping into this full length set! The album's worth it alone for the organ lines – which kind of take off from the territory of The Doors, but are often more ... LP, Vinyl record album

Roxy Music

Siren
Atco/EG, 1975. Near Mint-
Quite possibly the biggest early moment of US fame for Roxy Music – thanks to the classic "Love Is The Drug", which kicks off the album and is easily one of the group's best-known tunes of the 70s! The album tightens things up slightly from the sound of Country Life before – ... LP, Vinyl record album

Sunrays

Andrea
Tower, 1966. Very Good+
Perfect summer pop! After Murray Wilson was kicked out by his sons, the Beach Boys, he went on to prove to the world that he could create another group that was every bit as good as them. Truth is, he failed, but that doesn't stop the Sunrays from being a fantastic bit of 60's pop surf harmony ... LP, Vinyl record album

Tommy Steele

Rock Around The World
London, 1957. Very Good
An early album from British pop rocker Tommy Steele – a set that features backings by The Steelmen, and all original songs – most co-written with Lionel Bart! LP, Vinyl record album
