Notes


The James Gang – Yer' Album
Original 1969 US pressing (ABC Records ABCS 688 )

Man, this one takes me back! I was just a punk kid when I bought it...it's a killer first effort by Joe Walsh and Co. This and "Rides Again" turned me into a lifelong Joe Walsh fan. I've only ever seen one other rip of this...a VG reissue. This is a strong VG+ (NM to most people) original. I don't normally rip records this old on my Kenwood/Signet, but this one was really clean, even though it was played on less than audiophile equipment a couple of times when I was a teenager. It came out fantastic, IMO...get it while you can!
