James Gang - Passin Thru - LP

Passin Thru marks a notable moment for James Gang, arriving as their fifth studio album and final release through ABC Records in 1972. Although it didn’t carry quite the punch of earlier work, it offers a clear window into Domenic Troiano’s guitar skills before he left the band the following year. The artwork anchors the album in a specific place and time, featuring an 1880s view of East Main Avenue in Bismarck, North Dakota—a detail that’s less common in rock covers and adds a certain grounded charm. This 1972 pressing delivers the album on vinyl in very clean condition, with only minor, light surface marks visible under close inspection. For those interested in the transitional James Gang era, this pressing captures a snapshot just before Tommy Bolin stepped in, offering a tangible piece of that lineup’s sound and history. You might say it’s the kind of record that passes through your collection with a story to tell, rather than just a spin. Unknown Artist.
