'The Grand Illusion'
Illusion, USA, 1977
CM 1045
ONE OF the rarest psych albums originating out of Florida and featuring the great Mike Pinera on guitar. This album was originally issued in micro quantities and issued on the semi legit Illusion label with most copies pulped in order to provide a tax write-off for various investors keen to lose a few notes. Anyway this and several other albums were orchestrated by ex Iron Butterfly member Mike Pinera and basically consist of studio jams stuffed full of fuzzed out guitar soloing and very little else. This is an original US issue widely counterfeited in Europe during the 90s with many unscrupulous sellers passing them off as originals but easily identified as the covers are thin Euro style. This is a genuine 1st press US orig.
This auction is part of a fantastic collection of seventies rock which I was lucky enough to acquire. Most of these records were stored with the utmost care and sparsely played. Some were possibly never played or may have been for just a handful of times.
