MENTAL LANDSCAPE

Stages Of The Dream 

1988 Enchantress Records ( PRIVATE PRESS)

VINYL: VG++ (play graded )

COVER/SLEEVE: VG+ 

TO SEE THE CUTS PLEASE CHECK THE LAST PICTURE

I googled this LP and found a previous auction of this. It sold on eBay for $200. Here is what was written in that listing

MENTAL LANDSCAPE -- Stages Of The Dream -- ex. rare, original 1988 U.S. album.  Mindblowing and apparently completely-unknown private press Metal-Prog-Psych LP from this way-obscure band out of El Segundo, California that combined furious Metallica-like guitar moves, doom-laden Kate Bush-style vocals and a liberal dose of 1970's-style Prog-Hard Rock courtesy Zeppelin, Deep Purple etc.  Almost nothing seems to be known about the band but they were apparently the brainchild of lead singer, guitarist and songwriter Mac Edwards (who also painted the gothic castle on a cliff cover art); her photo on the back cover in a white hat and red dress gives no indication of the dark, anguished, brooding quality of songs like "Blood Into Wine," "The Quest," and "Death: The Darklord."  As with 1970's Prog-Hard Rock bands, the screaming guitar moves are balanced by delicate, ethereal acoustic guitar and vocals on several cuts w/ an almost medieval fairytale-dark fantasy-psych vibe.  Very unusual (and refreshing) to hear a heavy-duty Metal-Prog group fronted by a female singer & songwriter; it's a shame the band apparently didn't cut any other LP's. 

I couldn't find any songs I could post from this album and just recording a video of

it on my player wouldn't do it justice. I had a feeling the lead singer Mae Edwards

was to talented not to have something else on youtube and I found this video of

a more mature Mae Edwards below. This is to give you an idea of how talented she is.

The Lp I'm selling is of a  much more youthful heavier, Psychedelic nature.

   Here is some info I got about Mae Edwards off her webpage
   

                           Born in Saigon to an American G.I. father and a Vietnamese mother Raised in Los Angeles and is a self proclaimed California Girl Began her torrid relationship with the violin when she turned four Found a guitar hanging in the coat closet when she was five and was often in the closet throughout her childhood, making music with her new best friend Wrote her first composition at 13, winning “Gates of Tomorrow” competition Performed for years with the Junior Philharmonic Orchestra of California, founded by Maestro Dr. Ernest Katz Attended New Mexico Military Institute and received the Best New Cadet of the Year Award Wore a lot of hair spray and rocked out all through her teens and twenties in clubs on the Sunset Strip a la the Whiskey, Gazzari’s, The Roxy as well as Madame Wongs and the Troubador Has written over 300 songs and realizes that she can not make it stop

   
   

   This is an exceptionally hard Lp to locate. Another seller on eBay has a sealed copy for $100. If you are into rare private psych with amazing young talent you might want to snap up that copy. I don't think the seller knows what he has.

   
   

    OF COURSE I COMBINE AUCTIONS FOR THE CHEAPEST POSSIBLE SHIPPING

VG++ A hair under near mint may have only a couple of insignificant surface only lines that should cause

only very minimal sound defects. Cover out of shrink otherwise close to perfect

VG+  Used but not abused. Some surface lines.  Will have some relatively slight audible imperfections.

 Some normal cover wear.

VG…  There will be visual imperfections and  some audible ones . May be a number of surface only lines or there

 might be a small scratch but not one that  repeats, Cover will be worn or have some kind of defect.

 In this condition flaws will be pictured or noted.

100% ACCURACY IN GRADING RECORDS IS A JOB FOR SUPERMAN!

At times defects will show up differently on different players.  For instance,

depending on the weight that a tone arm is set at or the quality of the stylus

what is just a pop on one player can sometimes be a skip on another.SO

IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM, BEFORE RATING ME ,
