REO Speedwagon - REO Speedwagon

RARE/2HAND VINYL LP ON EPIC 1971

Epic 32096 made in Holland.

Vinyl EX. Cover EX.

Just the good ol' boys, back before the controversial (love him or loathe him) Kevin Cronin made REO top-heavy with ballads. Curly crooner Cronin did provide some smooth yin to fiery axe-kicker Gary Richrath's rough yang, so this platter drops some rather faceless barroom boogie. But unsung keyboardist Neal Doughty's chops are as sharp as ever, and REO would salvage the smoking "Sophisticated Lady" and the sleazy anthem "157 Riverside Avenue" for their never-ending live oeuvre.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/REO_Speedwagon
