RARE 1970 HEAVY ORGAN / GUITAR DRENCHED PROGRESSIVE ROCKER!

                               WHALEFEATHERS

                      DECLARE

                            USA - NASCO RECORDS - 9003

For some reason, obviously they didn't make too many copies, this is a REALLY HARD to find 2nd press from Europe issued some years back in micro quantity that seemed to vanish over night! Located a spare copy and it's a killer if you're into heavy prog/psych underground from the early '70s... by the way the first press goes quick for a three$$$ figure bundle...

WHALEFEATHERS were a powerful underground progressive band who released two formidable albums at the turn of 1970 ... both of their albums are interesting and never fail to deliver enjoyful listens....

From Cincinnati, Ohio, WHALEFEATHERS used to gig frequently with Westfauster and played a heavy, very keyboard-dominated blend of music, accompanied by heavy lead guitar injections. Their self composed material is adventurous and creative ... both of their albums have distinct psychedelic influences..."Declare" is the most progressive LP, with long jamming tracks, spacious instrumental parts swamped in keyboards and distorted guitar overload. It also includes a cover version of a Saint Steven track! On the same label (NASCO) as The Electric Toilet.

The mighty WHALEFEATHERS featured continuous strong bluesy overtones with a mind melting unhurried methodical pace that enveloped many of the bands tunes, tunes filled with blues-predisposed melodies. As a result of the bands pace, many of the song structures have a ‘bassy plod over a slow emotional solo’ which seems derivative of many of the olden days blues-based projects. The quintet’s 1970 debut, Declare, however, is heavier rock and less blues drenched in a progressive sound with psych edges all throughout. Yes, melodious progressive rock around ethereal atmospheres and loded with a lot of organ, strong vocals & intense acid guitar freak outs... included is a good slowed take on Moby Grape`s great "Omaha".

CONDITION: The cover:  is the very thin European style and essentially is M- but for the copy this release was pressed from contained some light cover wear that was produced on this release, even though this release isn't with cover wear ...yet it is solid and has no split seams, no bends, no writing...

The vinyl: glossy over both sides -clean- M- TOP COPY and sounds BRIGHT & DYNAMIC! Both Nasco labels are clean

A GREAT ADDITION TO ANYONE'S COLLECTION !
