This is the 4 Men With Beards re-issue of an all-time classic. Blow Up features Herbie Hancock in the high point of one of his most creative and inventive periods, long before he ever touched a synthesizer–it’s great stuff. And the Yardbirds work on here is worth the price alone.

All in all, this is an excellent sonic portrait of Swinging London, and anybody who’s a fan of the Easy Tempo series deserves to pick up a copy of this for themselves. You’ll find people trying to collect upwards of $90 for a Blow Up soundtrack, but this much more reasonably priced edition seems to be getting scarce.

Grab this one while you can, and if you’re on the fence, have a look at the clip below from one of the signature scenes in the movie–the destructo concert sequence featuring Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck and rest of the Yardbirds. You won’t be disappointed.

Blow Up is a brand new, sealed vinyl LP. $23 plus shipping.
