Description
TREMENDOUS acid psych pop from 1968 - I gotta admit, I used to pass this one up back when they were plentiful and cheap. But seeing it on a few psych heads' BEST OF lists forced me to find a copy, and I gotta say - this is a GREAT little album! It's got elements of Buffalo Springfield and the Illinois Speed Press ("Think Twice"), Cream ("The Breath O' Love" conveniently lifts the "White Room" riff), the Left Banke TOO and the Hollies' BUTTERFLY ("Yesterday's Streets"), and a few KILLER late-night ethereal dreamy psych floaters like you'd find on those old Capitol albums - Gandalf, Common People etc. ("Traveling in the Dark"). Surprisingly good and STILL affordable - but who knows for how long?
Original 1968 pressing on the US ATCO label. Sleeve in VG+ shape.
Let's be honest - vinyl grading these days is very subjective. That's why I'll give you some soundclips with each auction so you can judge for yourself how the album sounds - every clip comes from the album you're bidding on. Check them out below - in my opinion, this one plays VG+ - average play wear, very nice.
I will combine shipping on multiple wins, nudge nudge wink wink say no more. Domestic US shipping is $4 per album at media mail rates, with each additional album adding just $1 more. Shipping to Canada is $15 for the first album, $3 each additional. Shipping everywhere else is $24 for the first album, $5 for each thereafter.
