Description

Great, little known psych lp, Daybreak from Pearl River, New York (upstate NY) released in 1971 on RPC Records. Apparently there were only 400 COPIES of this made! Talk about limited, since this is 33 years old it's unlikely that too many copies of this will show up any time soon. I'm not sure if this has ever been listed on ebay before. This fuzz filled masterpiece is full of psych/garage mania, but also reminds me a little of the Gandalf in it's quieter moments, which are not many, but enough so the comparison feels right. Seven songs total, a Steppenwolf cover (sort of a suite with "Monster", "Suicide" and "America"), Neil Young's "Down By The River", "Nights In White Satin" and "Rock Around The Clock" (done in a more '50s style and most shambolic), but the best stuff is the three original songs, "Can't Get Down", "(I'm Only) Half Here" and "Alone Again" all written by the bands bassist, Vince Seplesky. Great psych feel overall and even "Fuzz, Acid & Flowers" doesn't have any real info on this classic! The record is EX at least, sounds great and there are only two marks you can see, both on the Steppenwolf cover that do not effect play in any significant way (I've listened to this again to make sure that is the case). The cover is VG++. The front cover has a couple of dashes of paint or something, but they are small and unobtrusive (a little glass cleaner might get that off). A little ring wear to the back cover and a little general wear overall, but the cover is still in great shape. Be sure not to miss this classic record! Please feel free to e-mail me with any questions and please see the scans for a look at this gem! Good luck bidding!!

It has been brought to my attention that there are only three known copies in collector circles of this lp. Also, the two copies that sold on lists went for around $1,000. Apparently, until this copy came onto ebay, there hasn't been a copy seen since the mid-90s (!!). It's also been mentioned to me that the original songs bear a resemblance to Mystic Siva, a pretty great record in it's own right! If you have any questions, e-mail me. Thanks M.A.!!
