"The Theater Project Concerts" 1974 (Grinn 1003)
Recorded live at the Theater Project, Baltimore, Maryland. August 9,10-1974
Very obscure hippie folkrock jammer with a stoned westcoast vibe. Loose and organic with lots of atmosphere due to it being a live recording in front of an attentive audience. Mixed male/female vocals over an appealing soundscape ranging from quirky downer folk into all-out flowing psych folkrock. Hard to find any immediate comparisons, although the off-beat, piercing male vocals and late-night campfire feel had me thinking of Neil Young's "Tonight's the night" a bit. Also some instrumental guitar jamming. About half is a full rock setting with drums and snakey guitar leads and includes a couple of truly great tracks with an oceanic psych vibe, sort of like the first two tracks on the Robb Kunkel LP, or Sub Zero Band minus the violin. Closing "Gypsy lover" epic stretches out into vintage S F Ballroom jamming over a communal 1970s intensity. Good LP (provided you can handle some idiosynchratic vocals), killer in parts, and likely to blow a few minds when word gets around more.

GOLDMINE GRADING
MINT ---- It should appear to be perfect. No scuffs or scratches, blotches or stains, labels or writing, tears or splits. Mint means perfect.
NEAR MINT ---- Otherwise mint but has one or two tiny inconsequential flaws that do not affect play. Covers should be close to perfect with minor signs of wear or age just becoming evident: slight ring-wear, minor denting to a corner, or writing on the cover should all be noted properly.
VERY GOOD PLUS ---- The record has been handled and played infrequently or very carefully. Not too far from perfect. On a disc, there may be light paper scuffs from sliding in and out of a sleeve or the vinyl or some of the original luster may be lost. A slight scratch that did not affect play would be acceptably VG+ for most collectors.
VERY GOOD ---- Record displays visible signs of handling and playing, such as loss of vinyl luster, light surface scratches, groove wear and spindle trails. Some audible surface noise, but should not overwhelm the musical experience. Usually a cover is VG when one or two of these problems are evident: ring wear, seam splits, bent corners, loss of gloss, stains, etc.
GOOD ---- Well played with little luster and significant surface noise. Despite defects, record should still play all the way through without skipping. Several cover flaws will be apparent, but should not obliterate the artwork.
POOR ---- Any record or cover that does not qualify for the above "Good" grading should be seen as Poor. Several cover flaws.
