A FEW OF THE ITEMS WE WANT

SPLINTER Sail Away (1981 Japanese-only promotional sample 10-track LP, housed in a unique picture sleeve with a small promo sticker on the back. The cover is Excellent with some faint edge scuffing & the vinyl remains in Excellent condition with barely any play YX-7292-AX)

Tracklisting: 1. Innocent 2. Plane Leaving Tokyo 3. Another Time Another Place 4. Too Far Down The Line 5. Take It Or Leave It 6. Passing Through 7. Touch Yet Never Feel 8. Don't Leave Me Now 9. Pigalle 10. Sail Away
SPLINTER Splinter (Rare original 1975 UK Dark Horse label 13-track promo only LP. This album features what is essentially demo versions of songs that were intended for an album to follow up 'Harder To Live', but was the album was scrapped and with one exception none of these songs were ever commercially released. Issued in a Dark Horse inner and plain white jacket, custom tracklisting sticker with '1975 Ganga Publishing Not For Sale' text DH2)

Tracklisting: This LP consists of all acoustic (6-string and 12-string) demos which explains the lack of a producer listing on the labels. It also lacks a proper catalog number (DH2)and a record distributor credit on the labels, which verifies the fact that it is not a fully produced/finished album. There are only acoustic guitars and vocals on the entire disc. It was most likely recorded in one day (live with no overdubs) in September or October 1975. prior to leaving on their promotional tour for the 'Harder To Live' LP. Without production, this album sounds more like a 'folk' album, rather than an album of 'pop' music. The songs are high quality, contain interesting lyrics, have tight vocal harmonies, and display excellent rhythm (acoustic) guitar playing. Side One 1. Split Crow Road 2. This Is My Corner 3. Why Can't We Live By The Sea 4. Raincoat Salesman 5. This Time We're Gonna Come Through 6. Don't Get Under My Feet 7. Christmas Time Feeling Side Two 1. Redirected 2. Railway 3. Little Piece Of Luck 4. Down By The Albion 5. City Lady 6. Love Is Not Enough (To Stay Alive)
