REIGN GHOST “Featuring Linda Squires” original Paragon Fuzz Psych Monster M- Listen!

1970/Canada/Paragon Records #19…..here’s an original pressing of this Ultra Rare Canadian Psychedelic lp. Lots of fuzz, sweet femme and male vocals with a touch of west coast magic. The cover is in solid VG+ condition, the top left corner is stained on the cover(see pics), the corners have light wear and there is spotty light seam wear, there is spotty wear and three light dings on the spine, minor light soiling on the white back, otherwise the cover is solid and clean with no splits or delete. The vinyl is in M- like new condition! There is just a bit of light inaudible storage staining from the sleeve. No scuffs, hairlines or otherwise. This is a solid clean copy that plays very clean with nice clean fidelity! Clean "deep groove" labels have one very light spindle mark each. A gorgeous copy of this rare Canadian gem! If you have any questions please feel free to drop me a line. Please check my auctions for other psych, prog, and rock lp’s. Good luck and thanks for looking!

Bob Bryden and singer Lynda Squires were members of The Christopher Columbus Discovery of New Lands Band in Oshawa, Ontario during 1967. As is the fate with most bands, the unit split up in 1968. Columbus' direct competition in town was an act called Reign Ghost and with an eye to find something new to do, Bryden and Squires infiltrated the rival band as guitarist and singer respectively. Soon the bassist left and Bryden snuck in former Columbus bassist Joe Gallant. Following the usual 'creative differences' excuse, Gallant quit and then came Columbus' Jerry Dufek. This line-up hooked up with Jack Boswell's Allied Records who threw them into a recording studio for the self-titled 'Reign Ghost' album in late 1968. The album was released in January 1969. However, the band fraught with internal conflicts once more and destroyed the band. Bryden and Squires moved on once again and hooked up with drummer Rich Richter and bassist Russ Erman who reclaimed the name Reign Ghost with the new comrades more than willing to become the New Reign Ghost. Allied was happy to have their name band back and offered to release the follow-up album 'Reign Ghost Featuring Lynda Squires', but before the album could be released, the band split up again.GRADING

MINT: I consider New Unplayed or Sealed items only.

M- or Mint Minus, very clean with clean visual appearance and sound, there may be a couple of light inaudible hairline scuffs or such and will be mentioned in the listing, a Mint- record looks and plays very clean. Same for the cover. Very clean with no delete or other issues.

EXCELLENT: still very collectable for most, visually and sonicly clean. A handful of light inaudible scuffs, or hairlines. Cover will be clean with little wear, or delete. No splits.

VG++ still a very nice copy with minimal wear, the vinyl will retain it's original gloss and can have some minor scuffs/scratches that don't affect play very much. Cover will have slight shelf wear, and or delete, minor split.

VG+ the vinyl will still retain much original gloss with a bit more scuffs and/or scratches I may list a very rare or desirable item with a lower grade, I will try to list all defects.
