Description
Mega rare insane private press psychedelic album from Seattle band "Grand Theft" from 1972. 100% original pressing still sealed!!! This was found in a recent dead store stock that was sitting idle for the past 30 years. Wow! Incredible. Super duper rare. This is what I found while searching info on it - Acid Archives: "This LP sounds like a gang of crazed teenagers causing audio-induced subsidence in the neighbourhood. If you enjoy instruments being sledge hammered to within an inch of their lives to the sound of top quality high pitched screaming vocals (and let’s face it, who doesn’t), this might be the ticket. The sound is so extreme it will make you grin and finally fall around laughing. Any LP with a 10’12” track about buying a burger, fries and a milkshake is well worth having, in my world anyway. Just marvel at the deepest lyric from “Closer to Herfy’s”: “Went driving by the lake...lookin’ for a milkshake”. Better than “Stairway to Heaven”, certainly more relevant. If ponderous, meaningless guitar based rock is your thing, then you may feel the finger of mother fun poking rather hard at your ribs. “Scream/It’s eating me alive” introduces side 1 with patent super-screaming and wasted, reverberating, guitar riffs. “Log Rhythms/Meat Midgets” chugs along with a cool, almost punk vibe. Faux mystic chanting on Ohms with lyrics like “they used to put strychnine in that stuff, we had a reeeaaal good time” cannot fail to make you laugh out loud. As we all know (now) it was ‘just a joke’, and a very funny one it is too. The sheer commitment to making something so extreme ends up producing a genre classic. The folkrock group Bluebird made it to make fun of Grand Funk. The original plain sleeve is stamped "Made in Canada". This is a NO RESERVE listing. It will sell to the highest bidder so bid accordingly if you want this one coming home. Great addition to any serious record collection. You may hear sound clips on you tube. Winner pays shipping. Paypal only. Payments due within 3 days after end of auction. Shipping is $4 usa media mail $8 priority $10 to canada and mandatory registered shipping over seas $27. Good luck!
