TOMAS GYE LP
SELF TITLED
TURKEY KNOB ORCHARD RECORDS
Very hard to find Private Label Psych vinyl record album released in 1976. The copy that we are offering here comes complete with its original two sided song lyric insert.
This LP preceded the LP Tomas Gye later recorded with Emerald City.
This LP also gets a favorable review from Patrick Lundborg on page 139 of his book Acid Archives The Second Edition. Among the things Patrick writes about this record are that Gye comes out blasting a double barreled 1970s Brit-rock sound that belies the utter obscurity of this release. Despite the crude recording, side 1 displays rich Stones-Faces moves including good use of the Hammond organ, dramatic arrangements, and Guys heartfelt vocals. The Greer album is one point of reference but this is less slick and more organic. Patrick also states that this LP was reportedly sold only at live gigs, so not many copies of it have turned up.
COVER: The cover is still in shrink wrap. The shrink wrap plastic has one tear in the top left corner, and the exposed part of the top seam has a bit of cracking in the paper covering the top seam of the cover only in this area. The cover grades EX.
VINYL: The record has a hand full of scratches on Side 1, none of which can be felt on the grooves. This side grades a nice VG . Side 2 grades EX .
DEAD WAX Side 1 : TN-13A
DEAD WAX Side 2 : TN-13B
All of our LP s are shipped in sturdy cardboard LP mailers with appropriate padding.
With the exception of sealed LP s, all LP s are removed from their outer sleeves to prevent seam splitting. Upon request, we will give your sealed LP s the same treatment.
All records are carefully graded. In an attempt to give customers an accurate impression of condition rather than adhere to somewhat arbitrary criteria, The Great Escape gives an overall presentation grade we do not give a listening grade. Our vinyl listings are supplemented when necessary with additional remarks. For example: where some dealers will not allow a cut corner on an otherwise near mint jacket often automatically relegating it to a VG at best , we may grade such a record as NM and note the cut-out mark thereby letting you know what it really looks like: a near-perfect record with a cut corner . LPs are graded cover first, followed by the grade for the vinyl.
