Description: BONNIE KING & NICKY ROBERTS — “STREAMS OF LIVING MUSIC” LP. GLORY RECORDS GL-1001 / STEREO / FIRST PRESSING / RELEASED IN, IF I’M RECALLING CORRECTLY, 1971. WHAT’S HERE IS AWESOME, A TERRIFIC XIAN EXOTICA ARTIFACT… NICKY ROBERTS WAS A BLIND ELECTRIC GUITAR SLINGING GENIUS, AS AT HOME IN STUDIO ROCK AS IN THE LOUNGE EXOTICA FOR WHICH HE WAS MORE RENOWNED IN THE LATE 1960’S AND 70’S. THE LINER NOTES MENTION THAT ROBERTS WAS THE ONLY BLIND PLAYER OF THE ORGAN-GUITAR AND I GOT NO REASON TO DOUBT THE AUTHOR… ALSO, ROBERTS CREATED ALL THE ORIGINAL SOUND EFFECTS FOR STANLEY KUBRICK’S “2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY”!!! WOW!!! BONNIE KING WAS THE ERMINE-DRAPED HOT BABE “MISS FREEDOM U.S.A.” IN THE EARLY SIXTIES AND THEN HAD A BIT OF A CAREER AS AN AUTOHARP PLAYING PHENOMENON, APPEARING AT THE GRAND OL’ OPRY AND CUTTING SOME SIDES FOR DECCA, BRUNSWICK, AND ESSEX… WHEN SHE HOOKED UP WITH NICKY AND THE MATCH SEEMED HEAVEN-ORDAINED, THEY BOTH GOT RIGHT WITH THE LORD AND HIT THE CLUB SCENE… HARD. THEY PLAYED ALL OVER VEGAS AND RENO AND TAHOE, THE BIG CATSKILLS AND MIAMI CLUBS, THE COPA IN NYC, ETC. ETC…. THEN THEY MOVED ON TO APPEARANCES ON JOHNNY CARSON AND ED SULLIVAN AND A HOST OF OTHER SHOWS… REMARKABLE… AT ANY RATE, THEY ONLY RECORDED THIS ONE LP, FOR JOE PELLEGRINO’S GLORY LABEL… AND IT’S SOLID. ALL RELIGIOUS, ALL XIAN EXOTICA, ALL AWESOME. VINYL IS VG+ WITH A COUPLE OF TOTALLY SUPERFICIAL SURFACE MARKS… NOTHING EGREGIOUS; LP PLAYS LIKE A CHARM! SOUNDS LOVELY! JACKET IS VG+ AS WELL — LIGHT OVERALL STORAGE AND SHELF WEAR… NO SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS! JACKET STILL IN ORIGINAL SHRINKWRAP, THOUGH NOT SEALED! NICE COPY! ALL REASONABLE OFFERS ENTERTAINED!
