See Below** BUTTERFIELD BLUES BAND EAST <-> WEST A&M Records SP 3030 Stereo Album is Pre-Auditioned - Nice and Clean "East-West" is the second album by the Paul Butterfield Blues Band, released in 1966. This album is notable for its innovative fusion of blues with jazz, Indian raga, and rock, pushing the boundaries of the traditional blues format. The album showcases the band’s technical prowess and creativity, particularly in its adventurous title track, which has become legendary in the history of rock and blues. It's groundbreaking for its time, as it moves away from the straightforward blues of the band’s debut album, embracing a more experimental approach. Mike Bloomfield (lead guitar) and Elvin Bishop (guitar) push the boundaries of blues guitar with their improvisational solos, blending modal jazz scales and Eastern musical influences. Track Listing: "Gula Matari": The title track is an extended, multi-layered composition that showcases Jones’s orchestral flair alongside funky rhythms. It stands out for its intricate structure and the way it evolves across its nearly 10-minute runtime. "Bridge Over Troubled Water": Jones delivers a lush, orchestrated version of the Simon & Garfunkel classic, giving it a grand, soulful feel with powerful horns and strings. "Walkin’": A jazz standard, Quincy Jones arranges this piece with a funky, brass-heavy interpretation, showing his knack for reimagining classics with modern elements. "Hummin'": A more relaxed, groove-based track, rich in soulful melodies and rhythmic layers. Personnel: Paul Butterfield: The band’s leader and harmonica player, Butterfield’s powerful blues harp and gritty vocals anchor the album. Mike Bloomfield: The standout guitarist of the album, his innovative lead guitar work was instrumental in shaping the sound of the album and is often considered some of the finest blues guitar playing of the 1960s. Elvin Bishop: Rhythm guitarist who also plays an important role in the dual guitar sound that the band developed. Mark Naftalin: Keyboards, adding depth to the band’s arrangements, particularly with his jazz-influenced piano and organ playing. Jerome Arnold (bass) and Billy Davenport (drums): The rhythm section provides a solid foundation, allowing the soloists the freedom to explore and improvise. The track "East-West" is one of the earliest examples of fusion in rock music and is often cited as a precursor to the psychedelic rock movement, with its emphasis on extended instrumental solos and non-Western musical scales. The song’s modal structure, where musicians improvise over a static chord progression, was influenced by jazz pioneers like Miles Davis and John Coltrane, and it broke new ground for rock musicians at the time. The album was highly influential in both the blues and rock scenes of the 1960s, particularly for guitarists. It helped bridge the gap between traditional blues and the emerging psychedelic rock movement. Mike Bloomfield’s work on East-West influenced a generation of guitarists, including Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead and Eric Clapton. "East-West" is a landmark album by all measures, a significant milestone in the development of blues-rock and psychedelic music. CONDITION: This album has been played a few times before I got it and shows a small amount of surface noice from previous plays but not so much to inhibit enjoyment of the music. I cleaned it on a VIP record machine first and found no skips played all the way through on both sides. The outer jacket is clean and intact with a very small remainder hole on the bottom right corner. The original paper sleeve is present and I ah added a rice-paper inner and placed it in a mylar outer sleeve for protection. Needless to say, everyone's system is different so I cannot account for what your system does, but on my system, it is as stated above. Enjoy! WHY PAY MORE?! Here is another of my vinyl offerings selling for much less than most everyone else, and most likely in better condition! This is a fine collectible copy and will be shipped in a vinyl shipper, insured against loss or damage. I am listing more and more every day... with over 10,000 albums in my home, it would take me until the year 2099 to listen to them all.

UNLESS STATED, most of the audio equipment and music I sell comes from my personal collection or stuff I've purchased but never got around to using. I am pretty picky about what I own so if it was good enough for me, you'll most likely be ecstatic with your purchase. I don't like surprises when I buy things from auctions any more than you do. I promise everything I know about this item is in this description. To see any of the other items I have for sale, click on SEE OTHER ITEMS near the top of the page right.

Please Read on... GUARANTEED DELIVERY OR YOUR MONEY BACK! I really DO CARE about when and how your product gets to you. Because the post office is so incredibly inept, I ONLY SHIP domestic packages INSURED, which is AUTOMATICALLY INCLUDED in the shipping cost, and that is not free as the post office charges for it.

If you are buying more than one of my items and would like to SAVE MONEY by COMBINING SHIPPING costs, I will be happy to do so, but eBay has now made it more difficult to get discounts by confusing people with "Buy it Now" and "Add to Cart" options on non-auction style pages. If you are buying one item from a seller use the Buy it Now. BUT IF YOU WANT COMBINED or FREE SHIPPING, DO NOT USE THE BUY IT NOW button! Instead, select ADD TO CART. Then use your BACK button on your browser and select the other items you want that qualify using ADD TO CART each time. When you are finished, look for the shopping cart icon at the top right corner of your eBay page and click on it. Find the blue button which reads COMMIT TO BUY & SEND REQUEST. Once done, the items will be held and I will create a single invoice with either combined or free shipping. NOTE: I cannot retroactively go back and combine items that are not purchased in this manner so PLEASE PAY ATTENTION. Once you receive your invoice, payment is expected promptly!

REALLY, REALLY IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT SHIPPING TIMES: I have no control over the US Post Office. I get the items packed and shipped within the prescribed time and all packages are picked up by my mail carrier. What happens after that is beyond my control... International deliveries usually arrive within 1-2 weeks but CAN take up to a month!

You can check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.
