TOP COPY
RARE 1968 FUZZ 'N' PSYCH WEST COAST SOUND COLLECTIBLE
The Carolyn Hester Coalition
USA - METROMEDIA RECORDS - MD 1001
TOP COPY! ***STILL IN FACTORY SHRINK WRAPPER...
LOOKS UNPLAYED...43 years old!
RARE AND SOUGHT... ORIGINAL 1968 FIRST PRESSING ~ CLEAN MINTY VINYL..on the highly collected Metromedia label who brought to you "Christopher" among others.
Carolyn Hester an American folk singer and songwriter who hung out with Bob Dylan in New Yorks Grenwhich Village scene and was a figure in the early '60s folk music revival. By the late 1960s, unable to succeed as a folk-rock artist, she explored psychedelic music as part of the Carolyn Hester Coalition.
The album is a fine 1968 West Coast-style hippie fuzz folk rock/pop affair with Hester singing in a decidedly non-folky acid psych/garage/hardrock style. Solid all the way through, this album should appeal to any fan of Neighb'rhood Child'n, Birmingham Sunday and similar semi-light trips. The opening "Magic Man" is well known due to its inclusion on the Hippie Goddesses compilation.
Once you get charmed by Hester's little girl lost voice, 1968's "The Carolyn Hester Coalition" is surprisingly enjoyable. With excellent backing from The Coalition (bassist/keyboard player Dave Blume, drummer Skeeter Camera and lead guitarist Steve Wolfe), material such as "Magic Man", the fuzz guitar propelled "East Virginia" and "Half the World" offered up some excellent psych/rock numbers. Sure, Hester's folkie roots were occasionally on display ("Tomorrow When I Wake Up"), and on tracks like "Big City Street" she bore a resemblance to Lulu. Those were the exceptions rather than the rule. Besides, Hester deserved an extra star for the album cover's revealing blouse.

CONDITION: The cover is really hard to find clean due to the dark cover that shows shelf wear on most copies found...this copy is great, MINT, still in factory shrink wrap. The original price tag affixed in the top left corner by a little staple (removable if wished) ... otherwise a BEAUTIFUL TOP COPY = no seam splits, no bends, no writing...collection ready!!!
The vinyl is VERY clean and clear MINT looking unplayed (!) smooth & shiny clean and with unmarked Metromedia labels make this an essential additiion to any psych music library.
