Description
SANDSTONE - Can You Mend a Silver Thread?” by Sandstone (US-Private, 1971)
I found this description on the net: “OK, here goes… it’s nearly impossible to describe how gorgeous this record is without it seeming like hype but... Almost completely unknown Allentown, PA area private folk psych LP that’s head and shoulders above almost every other US folk psych record I’ve heard. It’s hard to believe it’s not from the UK, as it’s instrumentation and compositional style remind me of Mellow Candle, Pentangle, Midwinter, etc. Recorded in the early 70’s at a local studio that must have been quite high end, because the production quality is astounding. Lyrically poetic, haunting primarily female vocals and with entirely original compositions, this is every inch a mindblowing US private press. From the cover to the instrumentation (mandolin, flute, recorder, harpsichord, violin, viola, cello, electric bass, drums and stunning acoustic guitar playing) to the deeply strange and lovely lyrics, this may be my all-time fave US folk psych private. I feel absolutely justified in this seemingly hyped description; this record is totally astounding. “Lonely Hunters,” “Farewell Valley” and the title track are probably the truest US folk psych I’ve yet found. “
Record looks almost M- and plays great. Nice front cover, some aging, back cover with some brown spots from aging.
