SCARCE 1969 FIRST PRESSING
The ULTIMATE SPINACH
(((3)))
USA -MGM RECORDS - SE 4600
Original 1969 first pressing ...third (3rd) and last Lp by The Ultimate Spinach is also their hardest to find, by far...
Leading this Ultimate Spinach crew is original singer Barbara Hudson and members fromanother East Coast pysch band, Chameleon Church. (A group that had included future comedian, Chevy Chase, in its ranks.) Playing lead guitar on "U.S. III" was a cat who would go on to great success. Jeff "Skunk" Baxter was a young session guitarist extraordinaire, who eventually slung his axe as a member of both Steely Dan ...Granted, Ultimate Spinach "3" is a totally different sound... Gone are the alien lyrics, extended sitar solos and psychedelic ambient spaciness, but in its place is some pretty good blues-rock of the sort that was taking over America. There's only so much Psychedelia you can ask people to take.
So what we have here is a tragically under-rated album. Sure, some of these songs, namely "Some Days You Just Can't Win", are psychedelic cocktails with no actual structure of their own, but "Reasons" and "Happiness, Child" are excellent songs. On more than one occasion, some listeners have stated they found this album to be similar to Love's Forever Changes, particularly the creative arrangement on "Strange Life Tragicomedy" and the rhythm of "Back Door Blues". One of the most glaring problems it has is that the lead guitar is too quiet on multiple tracks, including "Back Door Blues" and "Eddie's Rush". Also, the opening cover of "Romeo and Juliet" is very respectable.
Album highlights include the heavy “Strange-Life Tragicomedy” with three- part male vocal harmonies toward the end. and The album closer guitar-driven “The World has Just Begun”.

CONDITION: The cover is solid, one cover that always has shelf wear (it wasn't buit to last) however, here, one of the better covers, just very light shelf wear starting, VG++ ...still no seam splits, no bends, no writing. Finding a better copy is hard
The vinyl is all glossy clean M- looks very shiny clear on both sides -- the labels are both clean too... expect to play TOP level.
