This "LEE PICKENS GROUP" LP Titled "LPG" is becoming "VERY HARD" to find. Well , actually it has always been hard to find because not to many were originly pressed back in 1973...Capitol did not spend much $$$ to produce , promote , etc. these guys. They only opened a few of the bigger name concerts back in the day , and then dropped them from the label. But they headlined tons of shows across the US doin' the Bar room circut...but they didn't catch on , but SHOULD HAVE ! (IMHO). These days this album is mostly sought after by Guitarists (myself included) and collectors...I've only seen about 4 or 5 copies of this LP sell on ePay in the last few years. I've seen em' go for between $45 & $150 bux. :yes: But I've also seen several insane folks asking $400 or $500 bux. :no: I bet even a several AK'ers may have a copy of this album. :scratch2: ...SO , who the hell is Lee Pickens ? He was a founding member and BLISTERING/SCORCHING LEAD GUITARIST of the Texas? bases Hard Rock Band : "BLOODROCK"... Terry Knight (Grand Funk) produced their Lp's. They released 5 (IMHO) GREAT Lp's. Some better than others. Remember DOA ? After # 5 a hot double Live album , Lee Pickens did the usual Lead Guitarist leaves successful band to go solo and then flops thing... TOO BAD ! because he was a very tasteful , SCOORCHIN" Blues Based Lead Guitarist...... UNLIKE ROBIN TROWER'S SUCCESS after leaving "Procal Harum" , LEE PICKENS unfortunatly disappeared :tears: Anyway , enough rambling already... Don't ask how I ended up with 2 copies of this great LP :scratch2: But trust me , It's pretty DAMN hard to find. Do a search.... The Lp is kind of melodic hard blues based ROCK , But pretty HEAVY at times. With searin' but tastful guitar playing and heavy Hammond organ interplay with Lee doin' most of the smokin' licks :smoke: A MUST for GUITARISTS (IMHO) :yes: But is it any good ? Well of coarse thats subjective. But as you can see , I sure as hell think so ! I've got 2 copies and could let one go. Since I'M NOT into trying to make $$$ by listing it on ePrey , I just thought I'd mention that I have a copy avalible for trade here on AK. The BEST damn' web site on the planet. :yes: You can PM OR BETTER YET email me : maxfurnace4@msn.com I will play grade it. CHEERS ! :thmbsp:
