Description
Condition: G+/G+
Unite. This is an obscure private pressing from the counterculture movement of the late 1960s. These were handed out in San Jose at the strikes and pickets to anyone who had a portable turntable. Record is in G+ condition with multiple scuffs and scratches that cause surface noise. This is evident throughout playback but does not overpower the music, and there are no skips. Labels are plain blue with no writing on either side. Cover is in G+ condition with water staining on both sides and heavy soiling. Unlike the others I've seen available, this one has both a press kit and a note written on the back about the record and what it stands for.
The back cover reads: "San Jose, Calif. free enterprise album. It's legal, the artists have all agreed, and the album is now part of the theme for the Unity movement at San Jose strike central. More info. available on where these albums originated, how to get copies, and how to produce your own album quickly and easily.
[contact information]
Copies also available from both strike centrals above. Contents of album are described in newspaper inside, in music column "Side Trips".
Sadly I don't have the newspaper mentioned, but a type-up from The Aquarian Family of The Student Strike Committee is included. Insert is worn and stained but still legible. These are the tracks on each side:
A1: Moody Blues- In The Beginning A2: Buffalo Springfield- For What It's Worth A3: Richie Havens- Freedom (Live at Woodstock) A4: Steve Miller Band- Don't Let Nobody Turn You Around A5: Jefferson Airplane- Volunteers (Live at Woodstock)
B1: Beatles- Revolution B2:Elaine Brown- The Meeting B3: Johnny Cash- What Is Truth B4: Tim Hardin- Simple Song Of Freedom B5: Steve Miller Band- Brave New World
