Super heavy debut LP by Vanilla Fudge. Their 1st LP is a record entirely of covers with songs you no doubt have heard before, like 'Ticket To Ride,' 'She's Not There,' 'Eleanor Rigby' and what became the single from the record, 'You Keep Me Hanging On' - but done at about half speed with completely cranked Marshall amps and an absolutely booming organ. It made it to #6 on the Billboard chart in '67, which is excellent fuel for those who say modern popular music sucks compared to the 1960's/70's.
This LP is by no means rare or hard to find, but this copy was almost mint - super clean and sounds like it just came out of the wrapper and not a record that was sold 44 years ago.
It got it from one of my new favorite haunts here in Chicago - Laurie's Planet of Sound, where I have found a ton of great LP's and they seem to get in a lot of good stuff and lots of clean copies.
