CONTEXT 70 Very Rare Private Stoned Psych Freakout

$

620

Ultra Rare 1970 Original of legendary NY East Coast Psych rarity. Incredible Collage of Fuzz/Synth Freakouts, Girl Garage, bizarre poetry and crude classical parts.

For more info I'll refer to the  excellent Acid Archives book:

Very obscure DIY high school project LP of which only a few copies are known to exist. High points include two long fuzz/organ instrumental freakouts, a girl garage band, and some folk moves. Jug-band stuff, bizarre poetry and crude classical round out the set. There's also a funny spoken introduction proclaiming it to come courtesy of "WTHC" radio. Interesting LP with plenty of 1970 NYC zeitgeist and a high freak value, though schizophrenic and local to the max. The college project "Tool Shed" album is somewhat similar and perhaps provides more good music than this one. [PL]

~~~ Here is the ultimate in the realm of reality known as the 60s/70s stoned high school student project LP. Hailing from the Island of Long, these suburban stonees definitely pulled some wool over the eyes of the faculty. Beginning with a mock broadcast from radio station WTHC (!), the drug references flow through a pastiche of psych, folk, jugband, some "classical music is great stoned" (courtesy of Igor Stravinsky), and a few truly bent poems including the Shakespearean ode to McDonald's, "Cheeseburger Lament" from Omlette. Highlights are Adam's Rib, a girl garage band performing a great pop-psych/punker "Hide Your Love"; the proto-roots sound of The Amalgamated Pickle Plant and Home Brew Distillery (whose repertoire includes David Peel's Happy Mother's Day) and most uniquely, one Emmanuel Angel. Angel performs 2 lengthy instrumentals on which he plays everything - guitar, keys, bass, drums - and quite well. The sounds are berzerk progressive psychedelia via early Zappa/Mothers filtered through distorted, fuzzed, speeded up guitars and organs. Finally, the last track is titled The End and lasts 1 second. The LP is housed in an incredible pink and black psychedelic cover. There are plenty of pics of our student stonees on the front. The back is a great abstract design. [MA]

Only a dozen or so copies have ever turned up over the years, a rare chance to acquire this legendary LP. Thick cover has  cornerwear top left and faint starting rubbing/edgewear. No splits or writing and overall very clean.  Record also very clean with a few very faint hairlines , plays almost entirely M- except for a couple sporadic light pops pressing related. Label has writing on one side (See picture)

Very low starting bid and no Reserve!
