GENE VINCENT
The Day the World Turned Blue
The great singer-songwriter Gene Vincent
was called a hero by the Beatles and was an idol to many. The incredible
life of the 'The Black Leather Rebel' should be made into a movie one of
these days (Race With the Devil). His 16 year career was filled with glorious
highs and devastating tragedies, until his untimely death at age 36 on Oct
12th 1971, a few months after the release of this LP. This is one of his
more overlooked albums, but contains some truly great songs: How I Love
Them Old Songs (Mickey Newbury song); High on Life (Ronnie Self song); North
Carolina Line; You Can Make It if You Try; Our Souls; There is Something
on Your Mind; The Day the World Turned Blue; Boppin' the Blues (Carl Perkins
song); Looking Back; Oh Lonesome Me (Don Gibson song); and The Woman in
Black. Produced by Tom Ayres. This is an original 1970 pressing on KAMA
SUTRA RECORDS (KSBS-2027). One record jacket has the call letters WMPG written
on it & the vinyl appears in overall Excellent condition. Another copy
of the LP is in overall Excellent condition, both cover & vinyl. On
the third copy of this LP that I have right now, there is a promo sticker
on the front cover & the record label indicates that it is a promo.
The vinyl appears in overall beautiful near MINT condition!
Please indicate which one you want.
