CLASSICS IV featuring DENNIS YOST | Traces

Description: Classics IV Featuring Dennis Yost Traces Artist: Classics IV Featuring Dennis Yost Title: Traces Release Year: 1969 Pressing Year: 1969 Label: Imperial Records Catalog Number: LP-12429 Run-Out Etching: LP12429-1 AB Format: 33 RPM • 12” Album • Stereo UPC: none This album was the most successful album for Dennis Yost and Classics IV, nearly reaching the Top 40 in 1969. The title track was the group's biggest hit (although Spooky is better remembered) and Everyday With You Girl made the Top 20. The poetic lyrics and the soft instrumental blend of strings and an occasional flute were ubiquitous on easy listening records of this period, and although the songwriting of producer Buddy Buie and guitarist J.R. Cobb is vital, the blue-eyed soul of Yost's vocals is the focal point. A handful of low-key originals fill out the album, plus covers of The Fleetwoods’s Mr. Blue, Bobby Hebb’s Sunny, and Tommy Roe’s Traffic Jam (the hardest-rocking cut on the album). That the covers surpass the non-hit originals in quality is no great criticism since the band chose excellent material to record.

This is not a cut-out or a record-club pressing. It is the original issue. Note: I haven't cleaned this 55-year-old vinyl record because everybody seems to prefer their own methods. I'll leave the cleaning up to the buyer. Also, I'm not a professional vinyl seller or buyer. This comes from my own collection. Bought at Jackson’s Hardware & Gift Shop, downtown Radford VA. Enjoy the auction — and good luck!
