  • Superb double album featuring two cult Quebec albums. There's an old debate about whether you like their first album more than their second, and vice versa. One with more guitar, the other complex, melodic and avant-garde. This album met a demand for repressing, but with a limited audience and the sound changing, Trans-World opted for this limited edition. The discs are NM and have been played twice, once when it was purchased and then we've just had it played. We're offering you a record in excellent condition, with even a little shrink left ... ;) (but don't count on it: it's missing almost entirely). Vinyl, LP, Label : Trans-World International - TWK-6528/29 _ Trans-World International - TWK-6028/29, 1974, Canada Vinyl condition: NM- Sleeve condition: VG+: due to residual gummed tape used 50 years ago to hold the cellophane to the sleeve. A portion of the cellophane remains on the sleeve. _____ We use record images for reference purposes. Please note that the photos shown are for reference only.

  • Stock épuisé
    Pouch still in original cellophane, with gatefold never opened. Vinyl, Album, Label : Mercury - SRM 1-652, Canada Vinyl condition: EX ++ Condition of cover: VG: in shrink! Would be NM- if not for a saw cut mainly visible on the back of the sleeve. This has generated creases. When you get your hands on this record and look at it, you won't be disappointed. Photos available on request and with pleasure. _____ We use disc images for reference only. Please note that the photos shown are for reference only.

  • Vinyl, LP, Album, Good Noise Records GN 5001, 1973, Canada Vinyl condition: EX to NM-, he does it! Cover condition: VG+: why is it a really nice VG+? This cover is textured glossy and conducive to dirt accumulation, making it a dirt ring. We're confident it'll clean up and be a trouble-free EX. The insert is still there. Drill hole front top left. The insert has the drill hole too. _____ We use disc images for reference. Please note that the photos shown are for reference only. Please refer to our legend to fully understand the condition.
  • Article in Rolling Stone (France). We'd left them sitting side by side on their four-poster bed, a young, urban and decidedly hype couple, straight out of a fashion shoot for a trendy magazine or a Wes Anderson film. We've also known since Friendly Fire that Sean Lennon was an undeniably gifted musician and composer who now wisely prefers the anonymity of a band (with his girlfriend, model Charlotte Kemp Muhl) in order to escape an overwhelming heredity. His self-proclaimed eclecticism - from the soundtrack of an arty film to his participation in Mom's Plastic Ono Band via a few stints with The Flaming Lips - tended to muddy the waters. But while his last album, The Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger, with its deliciously accoustic tones, was fondly remembered, no one expected him - or them, we should say - to make an album on the level of this totally psychedelic Midnight Sun, which is likely to shake many an audience. "Charlotte had only just heard 'Strawberry Fields Forever' when I met her," he once said of Kemp. It's reasonable to assume that she's had a refresher course or two since then, even if Midnight Sun is in no way, if not subconsciously, a Revolver/Pepper's pastiche with which the term "psychedelic", given Lennon's family tree, might be associated. While the opening track, "Too Deep", may bring to mind some of the neo-planing rock of the late Oasis, it's the young guard (Temples, Tame Impala etc.) who are to blame. From "Xanadu" onwards, and especially the impressive "Animals", the case takes a completely different turn: The GOASTT's ambitious, unbridled compositions, with their often complex harmonies and structures, clearly rival the great pop goldsmiths of their time ("Last Call", "Poor Paul Getty"), as confirmed at the end of this kaleidoscope-like sonic trip by the almost seven-minute grandiose "Moth to A Flame", the real bravura piece of the record. Admittedly, here and there we'll find reminiscences of his illustrious father's first band (here, an upside-down guitar loop, there a pinch of slide, the vocal grain, especially troubling in the chorus parts). But above all, it's Sean's (and his partner's) artistic dimension that reveals every note of this strangely fascinating record.
