Sir Lord Baltimore 8211 Sir Lord Baltimore LP

Trading Places present a reissue ofSir Lord Baltimore\’s self-titled album, originally released in 1971. Fresh from their US tour supportingBlack Sabbath, Brooklyn-based heavy metal trio Sir Lord Baltimore expanded to a quartet for the recording of their self-titled sophomore album, released by Mercury in late 1971. The new addition was guitarist/keyboardist/vocalistJoey Dambra, brother of guitarist co-founder,Louis Dambra, adding a dual-guitar element to their hefty sound. The album begins with the epic \”Man From Manhattan\”, a symbolic allegory of a resurrected Christian icon in a new setting; in contrast, \”Where Are We Going\” captured the rawness of the group in live glory and \”Chicago Lives\” a twin-guitar attack. Somehow, the band did not survive long after its release, though Joey later recorded with John Lennon; this reissue spins at 45 RPM for maximum fidelity. Licensed from Cherry Red.
