Description

Original US pressing on the EUPHORIA label (EST 1) from 1971. The record and the sleeve are in very good+ condition.

First and only recorded offering from the singer-song writing duo of Sonny Hahn and Doug Miller that has remained largely unknown until now. The eponymous album, released in 1971 on the Jubilee Group's Euphoria label (EST1) shared much in common with their more illustrious stable mate James Taylor's first studio album which also made its appearance on Euphoria at around the same time.

As far as late sixties rock goes, things don’t get much more obscure than this release by the songwriting team of Doug Miller and Sonny Hahn. It incorporates Beatle-esque British psyche with some groovy fuzz guitar and fairly serious lyrics. The cool vocals, the unpredictable arrangements and the musical varieties have kept this little gem sounding fresh and vital. While SUM PEAR still smells a little of late sixties flower power, it has got enough inventive musicianship and unique ideas to keep it afloat above it’s hippy-dippy kin

They are believed to be from Kings Park; home of the Kings Park Psychiatric Center.

There might be a connection. Members included: Doug Miller, Sonny Hahn, John Scaduto, Bob Dorsa, and others. Very cool album; very Beatle-esque. Recored at Soundview Environmental Studios and marketed by Jay Gee Record Co. Album was produced by Bob Gallo for Louis Lofredo Ass.
