Canada - ALLIED RECORDS - No.10
LOOKS GREAT! PLAYS CLEAN!
Holy Grail mega-rare 1968 first pressing on the legendary "ALLIED" Records label.
includes an "Allied Records" biography insert
Elite top level 1968 very first pressing of Plastic Cloud's contribution to the psychedelic pantheon, their ONLY album is a swirl of gossamer vocals and Tolkien references, swathed in the some of the most relentless fuzz guitar you will ever hear!!
Quite simply, one of the greatest psychedelic albums ever made. This 1968 Canadian release is one hip album, full of catchy melodies and hippie harmonies, as well as some of the most superb (and trippiest) fuzz guitar ever recorded. The songs are very catchy, memorable and the fuzz guitar like a bumble bee buzzing....
This 4-piece act from somewhere in Eastern Ontario were a mysterious blend of psychedelia and Tolkien mythology. In the 49 years since the release of their album very little is known about this act except that they could be compared, stylistically, to any of the classic psychedelic/progressive acts from the late sixties and at the same time, still sound like none of them...Plastic Cloud are and island of their own.
The guys who called themselves "Plastic Cloud" were a group of thinkers. Probably very-cool nerds by todays standards. Low key definite, but when they decided to write some music..they evoked something special indeed. The music is cohesive, and really is not derivative of any group or style one can think of. One person said the Byrds with fuzz..? We hear ya...but not really. The harmonies are there..yes..but it is their own. The vocal main voice style is kind of obtuse..sounds almost English in their innovation, but not really? hard to describe. Yeah, the Fuzz guitar is non stop, sustaining to oblivion. Kinda like the approach SRC's Quackenbush took, but in their own unique fashion. The lyrics and content are all winners..Topics of all great concern, "Dainty General Rides" is about egomaniacs who try to control through war tactics, "Civilization machine" is an epic about consumerism and hypnosis through class games, etc, etc..you have to hear it to let this thing sink in.
Ultimately worth hunting down 1968 =ORIGINAL PRESSING= Just look at that cover, understated coolness.

CONDITION: The cover: Rated: M- the THICK colorful cardboard jacket looks as nice as it did when first released in 1968 ....NO ISSUES! Altogether front & back are clean and collection ready!No split seams, no bends, no writing and contains original colors with NO fade anywhere. Hard to find a better copy!
The vinyl: Rated: "EX" (excellent) no visual concerns apparent other than a couple wispy-soft (top surface) finger-nail type scuffs and smallish light needle marks in one place on last track side two. Careful attention payed to the play grade which by far is outstanding...minty audio, wide range sound with no groove wear other than a couple of very low ticks well below the music overall no way taking away from the overall brilliant listening enjoyment. There is no dreaded groove wear from old ceramic cartridge that was prevelant in the '60s. Both "ALLIED" silver/blue labels are clean without spindle marks.
Obviously highly recommended!!!
