Item Description

THE WAY WE LIVE pre-TRACTOR - A Candle for Judith
On offer is a rare and highly desirable original UK LP by the group THE WAY WE LIVE. Changed their name to TRACTOR in 1972 It is pressed on John PEEL S collectable Dandelion label DAN 8004 .
Matrix: Side 1. DAN-8004-A1 Side 2: DAN-8004-B1. Machine stamped

Condition:
The sleeve is in EX to NM condition.
The record is in VG condition.
Apart from some inaudible scuffs and thin hairlines there is an audible scratch on side 1 that can be audible sometimes especially in the quiet parts , but not too disturbing. This apart, the record plays great. So not a perfect copy but still a very strong one not for the absolute sound purist, but sometimes rarity dictates, and there is no way I was going to let this superb and elusive album pass. The cover is in super condition and includes the first DAN 8004 number making this a very first pressing. A rare opportunity to own this classic album and all the positives outweigh any of the brief sound blemishes.

One of the lost treasures of the early 70s and arguably the very best album to adorn the small independent label of John Peel. An incredible recording made by two Englishmen, this sounds more like a small band and is a classic case of less sounding more. Recorded in producer John Brierly s bedroom in Rochdale on two tape recorders, this simply blew away the crew at Dandelion Records. Milne and Clayton played a blend of psych-prog and can lay claim to being pretty unique. Milne a guitarist of considerable skill and his talent shines throughout this legendary recording. Very well received but alas, doomed to obscurity with very few sales. The album title was for Clayton s girlfriend and later wife the duo became slightly better known when they changed their name to Tractor . Under this new name, they issued the self-titled blistering follow-up that faired little better. Both titles are rare and both brilliant, it s no small wonder both are in such high demand.
