text from a previous auction:
"...ORIGINAL 1969 first release by an interesting female singer who is backed by a formidable progressive crew from Canada...housed in a highly controversial cover in that Louise Forestier is posed topless -- quite a bold move for 1969...and as for this very obscure album ...Louise seems to have been omnipresent on the local psych scene in Montreal in the late 60's/early 70's, despite the fact that her primary output was folkrock, this particular first album being the lone exception. Though still strongly folk driven, there is a solid psychedelic flavor throughout the album that is quite uncharacteristic of the rest of her albums and is backed by an electric group photographed on the back cover...The album starts out innocently, as we hear a song la douce emma with piano reminiscent of French songs of the 1950s (think of Edith Piaf) ... With this you may think the style will occupy for a while, but -- surprise -- it turns into acid rock psychedelic with drifting electric guitar riffing that shocks the listener, in the song "From Santa to America."
Then things calm down a bit (talking in terms of volume/noise) in "Quand t'es Pas La" a more organ based sound amid slight electric guitars without distortion, and some times with flourishes. Also, wind and echo effects are present. Arriving at the fourth track -- "Translation" -- one of the best on the album, starts calmly with piano and echo atmosphere that seems to have a certain air of Pink Floyd '69-'70 era. All of this will grow in volume and tension (she sings louder...) The song seems a little experimental, the keyboard almost hammered to the growing volume in the vocals, and ends in a soft cry, which disappears quickly in the echo. "J't'aime en Masse" seems to have a certain air of medieval utilizing large metal drums percussion, and a hint of '70s West Coast rock. Some weird distorted guitar in the background. "Comment Comment?" is more of a normal rock sound with piano and guitar... "Le Cantica du Titanic" has a nice clarity of voice, keyboard, cello including grandiose orchestral drums and cymbals. "Le Mont Athos" -- the last song -- is a relief, because it is more accessible based on voice, keys and drums."Condition:
Cover : VG+ (ringwear, 2 drill holes, discoloration, edges a bit used but not split, a name written on back cover, some staining)
Vinyl : VG+ (a few marks and scratches, a bit of surface noise, nothing too bad, a cleaning will probably help)
Grading :
NM: Near Mint - May have very slight visible mark or very light scuffing that should not affect the record's play. Groove Surface should be bright and appear as new or little played. Cover should be close to prefect with minor signs of wear or age just becoming evident: Slight ring-wear, minor denting to a corner, or writing on cover should be noted properly.
NM-: Near Mint Minus - Between NM and VG+
VG+: Very Good Plus - May have more noticeable, but not major, imperfections. May Have light scratches and play with some slight surface noise, but nothing that impedes the sound.
VG: Very Good - Record surface has several moderate and some major flaws such as scratches that can be felt with fingernail. The record will play with surface noise but nothing that overwhelms the sound. It should not stick or skip. Usually a cover is VG when one or two of these problems are evident: ring wear, seam splits, bent corner, loss of gloss, stains, etc...
VG- : Very Good Minus - Record surface has many defects with visible scuffs and scratches that can be felt. The presence of noise is substantial and distracting, but one can still hear the recording. It should not stick or skip (unless mentionned).
G: Good - Really not so good. It will play with distracting noise and may be warped and/or stick or skip. Cover is used, color are used, and sometimes water damage, or tear out.
Note: LP, 7" or 10" could be graded only visually, ask for if not clearly described.
