Copy notes: name written on cover

John Davis And The Monster Orchestra’s Up Jumped The Devil offers a focused listening experience rooted in a tight, acoustic ensemble approach. The album unfolds with tracks like “You Gotta Give It Up” and “The Magic Is You,” presenting a refined blend of groove and subtle instrumental interplay that stands apart from Davis’s more disco-driven work. It’s the kind of record that invites you to lean in rather than just fill the room, rewarding attention to its nuanced rhythms and melodies. This 1977 pressing brings that clarity to vinyl, housed in a format that suits collectors and listeners who appreciate a well-crafted session group. The record itself is graded VG+, indicating it has been played but remains in strong condition with only minor surface marks that won’t overshadow the music. Few albums ask you to give them quite this much ear time, and this copy is ready to make a spot on your shelf where it can quietly charm without demanding the spotlight.

Sound samples are included to help you get a feel for the music, but they may not always match the exact pressing or track version of the record listed. When in doubt, trust the photos and pressing information - that's the actual record you're buying.
