Jim Croce – I Got A Name

With a STUNNING Shootout Winning Triple Plus (A+++) side two mated to a solid Double Plus (A++) side one, this vintage ABC pressing was giving us the sound we were looking for on Croce’s posthumous final release
Vocal presence and warmth are not that easy to find on I Got A Name, but here is a copy that makes the case that this is a very well recorded album indeed
Forget whatever dead-as-a-doornail Heavy Vinyl pressing they’re making these days – the Tubey Magic, size and performance energy of this vintage pressing simply cannot be beat
“I Got a Name is Croce’s third and last album; it is also his best… With his kind of honesty, simplicity and humor, Jim Croce embodied a significant positive strain of our national character, a small-scaled but very real hero of American pop.” – Rolling Stone

Boasting two excellent Double Plus (A++) sides, this vintage pressing of Croce’s 4th studio album is doing just about everything right – fairly quiet vinyl too
We guarantee there is dramatically more space, richness and vocal presence on this copy than others you’ve heard, and that’s especially true if you made the mistake of buying whatever Heavy Vinyl pressing is currently on the market
“Released at the height of the singer-songwriter era, Life And Times put Jim Croce up there with the best of them. Containing the upbeat top forty songs such as ‘One Less Set Of Footsteps’ and ‘Bad Bad Leroy Brown’ along with such ballads as ‘These Dreams,’ and ‘Alabama Rain.’ High rollicking fun for anyone who likes enjoyable music.”

This early pressing boasts outstanding Double Plus (A++) sound from start to finish – the ’70s ABC vinyl is also about as reasonably quiet as we can find it
We guarantee there is dramatically more space, richness, presence, and performance energy on this copy than others you’ve heard or you get your money back – it’s as simple as that
“Croce’s debut ABC album was also his commercial breakthrough, topping the charts for five weeks, largely due to the comic, up-tempo title tune, a story song about competing pool hustlers, although Croce also reached the Top 20 with the change-of-pace ballad ‘Operator (That’s Not the Way It Feels)’.”
