Pig Iron

The United States brass-rock band, hailing from New York, was active during the early 1970s. They released a single album in 1970 before disbanding the following year. The group was led by drummer Alan Abrahams, who also served as the lead vocalist and primary songwriter. Following the band's dissolution, Abrahams pursued a career as a professional producer, working with prominent labels such as RCA, Capitol, and Columbia Records, and collaborating with notable artists including Miles Davis and B.B. King.

Regarding the other band members, keyboardist and trumpeter Adam Ippolito and bassist Gary Van Scyoc later joined a group associated with The Plastic Ono Band and were part of a subsequent iteration of Elephants Memory. Meanwhile, saxophonist Marty Fogel became a member of Lou Reed's band.

Band members included: - Alan Abrahams - Lead Vocals, Drums - Marty Fogel - Saxophone - Adam Ippolito - Keyboards, Trumpet, Vocals - Bill Peters - Lead Guitar, Vocals - Paul Squire - Trumpet - Gary Van Scyoc - Bass, Trumpet, Vocals

  • Record was initially cleaned manually, then ultrasonically cleaned with iSonic Ultrasonic Cleaning prior to grading
  • Records are packaged with a poly outer sleeve, the LP is placed in a fresh white inner sleeve directly after cleaning, (we include the accompanying sleeve, we send you both), separate from the cover to protect the seams during shipment, and of course, shipped within thick cardboard insert pads in a thick cardboard record mailer.
  • We offer discounted shipping on multiple records: calculated shipping for the first one and $2 for each additional one. International Buyers, please read International Buyers paragraph below.


SRO Records Record Grading Guide:

SEALED/Mint:

Vinyl: Assumed mint, unverified until opened.

Sleeve: Visible through shrink wrap, graded as above.

NM (Near Mint):

Vinyl: Nearly flawless, with possible minor scuffs or hairlines only visible under strong light.
Sleeve: Appears new, as if freshly printed.

 

EX (Excellent):

Vinyl: Bright, with minor surface wear and hairlines, not affecting play.

Sleeve: May have faint creases or abrasions, but artwork is clean.

 

VG+ (Very Good Plus):

Vinyl: Obvious wear, scuffs and hairlines, plays with some noise but no major sound issues.

Sleeve: Worn with creases, noticeable wear, acid deterioration, corner dings, chipping, and possible seam wear.

 
Here's the typical SRO Records line in the sand. Anything below VG+, unless it's rare, unusual or just awesome, we're NOT going to sell online, much less go through the hassle of an ultrasonic cleaning, we're going to put it in one of many $10 Record boxes that we sell at Record Conventions and events. Some will wind up in the $1 Box, just to get it back out into the world for someone to enjoy or make a planter out of.

 

VG (Very Good):

Vinyl: Dull appearance with many hairlines and scuffs, somehow plays with persistent noise but no skips. 

Sleeve: Worn with possible seam splits and moderate ring wear.

G+ (Good Plus):

Vinyl: Numerous marks and scratches, plays with significant noise but music usually overpowers flaws.

Sleeve: Rough appearance with possible seam splits and water damage.


G (Good):

Vinyl: Copious unforgettable marks, probably a skip or jump.

Sleeve: Heavy ring wear and damage, likely large seam splits or water damage.


F (Fair):

Vinyl: It's round with nearly infinite damage, skipper gonna skip

Sleeve: It's basically what's left of the sleeve for the album
