Description
If this album's cover and title remind you of something else, that's because it was planned that way. Apparently, Music from "Lil Brown" was a black response to The Band's Music from Big Pink. Indeed, the liner notes inside the gatefold read, "'LIL BROWN' a brown garage squatting in the shadows and sun of the Baldwin Hills in South Los Angeles. And 'Lil Brown' gave birth, possibly caesarean, certainly not prematurely to this music. As witness, we offer this album conceived and born (also recorded) within its brown walls. Any similarity to any other album package was purely calculated and our thanks to all those concerned. Be sure and listen to the Band. SKAO2955. Hell, there's even a painting on the back cover done in the same style as Bob Dylan's artwork on Big Pink, as you can see below.
This album is very rare, a 1st issue Z12 44010 and in excellent (like new) condition. The cover shows age but not wear and is very good condition. This is a true collectors album.
