Hard-rocking Brooklyn trio Sir Lord Baltimore&#8217;s highly sought-after debut album is a legendary precursor of the heavy metal genre, a 1971 Creem review of the disc perhaps the first to ever use the term. The group benefited from the songwriting and production team of <b>Mike Appel<\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0<b>Jim Cretecos<\/b>, Appel the future manager of\u00a0<b>Bruce Springsteen<\/b>\u00a0and Cretecos already heady from success with\u00a0<b>The Partridge Family<\/b>; recorded at Vantone Studios in New Jersey, it was mixed to fine effect by\u00a0<b>Eddie Kramer<\/b>\u00a0at Electric Ladyland, fresh from his work with\u00a0<b>Jimi Hendrix<\/b>. Guitarist\u00a0<b>Louis Dambra<\/b>\u00a0co-arranged the material with Appel and Cretecos; he had earlier played in garage band\u00a0<b>The Koala<\/b>\u00a0as\u00a0<b>Louis Caine<\/b>, and here his screeching guitar is a major draw, backed by plodding bass from\u00a0<b>Gary Justin<\/b>, as front man\u00a0<b>John Garner<\/b>\u00a0shrieks his vocals while pounding furious drumbeats. Aside from a tough cover of\u00a0<b>Ray Charles<\/b>&#8216;s &#8220;I Got A Woman&#8221; and a track inspired by\u00a0<b>Yeats<\/b>\u00a0poem, &#8220;Lake Isle Of Innersfree,&#8221; the album features heavily-stoned acid rock originals, delivered the Sir Lord Baltimore way. 180 gram vinyl; gatefold sleeve.
