Description
"Straywinds" by Gene F. Steiker and Larry S. Chengges, onn the private (or very small Shanyn-Alexus label
out of Michigan, from 1973.
This very rare disc is still sealed. Some light staining under shrink wrap on front, minor wear on bottom edge. Back cover is blank as shown. I didn't know much about this so I "borrowed " the below info from the net. Thank you!
"Most of us have a record or two that we believe in our hearts we are the only person to ever "get". For me, this record is utter magic and sits in a stack of well under ten records I won't put up on the block because I just can't be without them. The Grudzien is in that pile, so is the UK mono White Album. "Straywinds" is a whole lot closer to Grudzien than The Beatles. Two guys in a cavernous and empty auditorium (the natural echo here is phenomenal). One plays acoustic piano, the main instrument, the other some percussion and some clean electric guitar, very quietly. This is, in fact, a seriously quiet record. There are a few vocal parts that are sung, but the majority of this is spoken poetry with piano accompaniment. There is a naiveté and innocence here that I think is a common thread in my private stash of keeper records. This is as fragile a record as may have ever managed to get itself pressed and issued into the world. While the first side is heavily echoed vocals over sparse instrumentation (on tracks like "In Green Pastures" "Some Old Town" My Dreams, My Love"), the second side opens with "Beyond Forgetting." Under the right circumstances someone could play this track and, at the end, ask for $1,500 and get it. A distorted and electronically effected vocal shouts over an electric piano and acoustic guitar bed. Still subdued but otherworldly and impossibly strange; I have never played this for someone and not had to scrape their jaw off the carpet. Like most of our secret records, this comes with the added knowledge that this will be reissued only after everything else is and so it will remain that little treasure just for us.Certainly not for everyone, and perhaps more a relic from the psychedelic age than psychedelic itself!
