CRYSTAL BALL LP
IT’S NOT TOO LATE
BUCK’S BEST / ALBUM WORLD RECORDS # AW 14032
One of the rarest records we have offered on eBay in quite some time, this is an original pressing LP from 1977 on the Nashville based Album World label. This LP is one of only a small number of copies to have surfaced over the years. Although we don’t know the exact number of how many of these were pressed, it is safe to say it was very, very few.
This record also receives a very favorable review by Patrick Lundborg in his book “Acid Archives The Second Edition” published in 2010. Among the things Patrick writes about this LP are, “Here’s one of the rarest (only three known copies) and most distinctly psychedelic of all tax scam records, one that if it were better known would be a major collectible. It’s probably the most significant and fascinating record released by the slippery folks at Album World. The songs were written by ‘J. Agostino’ and have a wasted acid folk vibe. Most are just acoustic guitars and vocals with a few embellishmants (a second guitar, bongos, and/or production tricks). A few, including a weird short version of ‘Martha My Dear’ (which sounds like nothing else on this record) have a full band, but the acoustic ones sound quite full because of the eerie harmonies, phasing effects, heavy reverb and freaky minor key west coast vibe. ‘Can This Be True’ has backwards slide guitar and ‘Mr. Sims’ is packed with bizarre, disorienting sound effects. The acoustic songs remind me of a fake Beatles outtake ‘Piece Of Mind’. It’s certainly possible, given the tax scam m.o., that these songs are unfinished demos (two have abrupt choppy endings and two others fade out unexpectedly soon), but they do sound purposeful and there’s no question they’re the product of a consistent-minded songwriter with some kind of off-kilter vision. This is the kind of record that could freak you out on a dark night. It’s strange and powerful.”
COVER: The jacket has no seam splitting, no tears, and no writing. It does show light surface wear and a bit of a ring impression. It grades EX.
VINYL: This LP looks like it has had little play. We carefully cleaned it on a VPI Machine and it grades a very nice EX.
