Description
C. A. Quintet’s Trip Thru Hell is generally regarded as one of the all-time great psych/garage LPs. As Patrick Lundborg wrote, “Ah yes, the "Trip", an LP so packed with talent and originality it alone justifies the existence of the underground collector circuit. You can pick just about any major 60s LP and this will blow it away on all counts. I assume most people reading this already knows Ken Erwin's conceptual acid psych monster, which sounds like nothing else done before and hardly since; a strongly cinematic exploration into weird and often unpleasant mental spaces, using only standard rock instruments—and a surprising trumpet—to get there.” This monster was originally released in 1969; this reissue was released (with cooperation of the band) in the U.S. on the Sundazed label in 1996. It’s a 2-LP set: the first LP is the original recording, while the second record contains cuts from singles, alternate versions, and previously unreleased tracks. It comes in a very nice gatefold cover, contains copious and interesting liner notes, a discography, and it’s pressed on colored vinyl. This copy is in the shrink wrap, and the cover and records are brand new! The reserve on this item is $44.99.
