From the opening spoken word intro this album contains most of the ingredients and musical expressions of the times and should appeal to all who appreciate these classic obscure psychedelic period piece items. Produced by Kim Fowley with consequential (and somewhat hysterical) back cover liner notes about Topanga Canyon musicians, "where they meet to exchange ideas in an atmosphere of tolerance and creativity...Here they have found tranquility and freedom of expression in a setting of flowers, trees and grass" (Geeeesh, yes, I remember people who actually wrote things like that...flowers, trees and grass...Topanga Canyon was more like dried brush, garbage heaps left by the local squatters and the grass was smoked). From 1967 and issued on Flick Disc Records 45,001 in stereo by this five member Canyon band called St. John Green. An absolute keeper for any psych vinyl collection and an amazing find as an original sealed copy! Vinyl is near mint in appearance and play performance, label is near mint with no spindle scuffs and colorful psychedelic art cover is near mint still in original wrap with a cut out hole in bottom left (like almost every copy you will find). Tracks are 7th Generation Mutation 3:21, Canyon Woman 2:57, Devil And The Sea 2:14, Do You Believe 2:10, Help Me Close The door :58, Messages From The Dead 4:04, Goddess Of Death 2:22, St. John Green 3:02, Spirit Of Now 2:30, Love Of Hate 2:10, One Room Cemetery 3:42 and Shivers Of Pleasure 3:21.

RECORD GRADING LP'S
I place emphasis on play grade, maintain the highest professional standards, do spot check play grading on all individual auction items and always provide an accurate visual grade and label appearance. I play grade on a quality system with a high end cartridge in order to maintain a strict and undisguised play grade. I always keep my grading simple and fair and will not subject my customers to a proliferation of meaningless grades. If a record plays between two grades I always apply the lesser grade, I don't create a grade in an attempt to articulate a borderline evaluation.
nm....near mint, superb play quality with little to no signs of visual wear and plays with little to no extraneous noise. I have learned from over 30 years of experience that "mint" is too strong a grade for a used record evaluation. The only records that qualify for a "mint" grade on my listings are my new unplayed and unhandled store stock items.
vg+...very good plus, excellent play quality with minor use and little to no overall visual wear. Any minor scuffs, light surface scratches, or blemishes do not affect play and play grade may have some very minor extraneous area noise.
vg....very good, very playable, probably with some extraneous surface noise. A slightly mishandled or well used record. May have visual scratches or blemish. I generally do not auction vg albums unless they are exceptional pieces and highly sought after items.

I use standard record grading abbreviations and include cover grade within each description. I open, clean and inspect all suspect sealed older albums.
