NEWS "HOT OFF THE PRESS" LP (XPL-1045)
Great private psych LP from 1974 Connecticut. Sort of sounds like Jefferson Airplane/Quicksilver in the instrumentation, but with a good sense of pop songwriting as well.
Here's what the Acid Archives has to say: "Here’s a unique and outstanding 70s pop album. The lead instrument is a pedal steel guitar, played with more imagination than anywhere other than the Misunderstood’s studio recordings, often with some nice fuzzy distortion. It rarely sounds “country.” The songs are strong pop/rock, with Beach Boys-style harmony vocals on the softer songs, and tougher (but still melodic) singing on the rockers. Other than the opening “song” (three minutes of a guy fiddling with a radio dial), everything here is memorable, and no two songs sound alike. My pick hits are the powerful “Loser,” with a stunning steel guitar solo, and the long album-closer “New York City,” but this is consistent enough that any given listener could feel equally strong about any two others. This is exactly the kind of band a daring major label executive would have struck gold with in the 60s, but nobody would dare to touch in the 70s."
Vinyl is NM with a few very small scuffs that don't affect play, sleeve is M- and in shrink.
Tracks are: Radio Blahs, Loser, Ooo La La, Farmer's Daughter, Misty Day, Easy Street, Pine Tree Heaven, One Night Stands, Angie, New York City.
