Nicholas Greenwood Cold Cuts - Artist's Personal Copy UK vinyl LP album (LP record)
|
| Tracklisting / Additional Info: |
Nick Greenwood was a big part in the Crazy World of Arthur Brown’s acclaimed 'Crazy world OF Arthur Brown' LP, and when he left him in 1969 to pursue a solo career, he started to work on one of the most eclectic and beautiful examples of musical creativity. Released in 1972 on Kingdom Records & listed as #73 in the Record Collector list of 200 top collectable LPs.
Personnel :-
Nicholas Greenwood / bass, vocals, effects
Bunk Gardner / woodwinds
Dick Henningham / organ
Eric Peachey / drums
Bryn Howarth / Guitar
Chris Pritchard / guitar
The Tear Drops / harmony vocals
The overall effect is like having a 'Volume Two' of the original 'Crazy World' album with Nick doing a sterling effort on vocals & Dick Henningham's Hammond work echoing the majesty of Vince Crane. All tracks were written between the two of them.
Being a lifelong Arthur Brown fan, to finally get to hear this album was a treat. It really does stand up today as a great album & should have catapulted Nick to fame, although it was not to be, as it was perhaps released a couple of years too late. By 1970, Vince Crane's own Atomic Rooster had pretty much cornered the heavy Hammond prog market & Arthur's Kingdom Come were in full swing.
The subtle yet powerful arrangements are aided by Bunk Gardner's woodwinds, fresh from the Mothers of Invention & Khan's Eric Peachey's solid backbeat. Nice also to hear Bryn Haworth's guitar work, which is never over-used but instead creates a lyrical counterpoint pinned on the main melodies of some of the songs.
Condition :-
Well, as this was Nick's personal copy, it could have been in any condition at all but I'm pleased to say it's as near mint as it is possible to find. The fully laminated sleeve shows just a few little laminate creases at the very edges that would have been impossible to avoid. To all intents and purposes it is as mint as it is possible to be, though strictly graded EX+.
The vinyl too shows little sign of play & no surface marks. On very close inspection you can spot one or two hairline spindle marks near the centre hole but once again is as near mint as makes no difference. Upon play grading, there is no crackle & loud passages have no evident breakup in sound quality. The vinyl is heavyweight & absolutely bleedin' marvellous.
Nick has signed the plain paper inner sleeve with the message 'This is my personal copy, Best Regards' & dated his signature.
