Description
White label promo edition of this folk prog psych rarity. Record has some minor scratches and scuffs and one scary-looking, long sweeping, label to edge scratch on side 2. On my player, it plays through without any pop, but overall -- it record has some normal surface noise. Also, there seems to be a pressing defect (looks like a very small bubble on the second track/through to both sides), but surprisingly it plays through (but pops for 6 revolutions).
Cover is pretty rough with significant rub wear, the top seam is split, and the cover and label both have radio station call letters written on them. Not the cleanest version, but a fine play copy of really rare classic.
From San Francisco, Faun’s main claim to fame is the inclusion of Ross Valory and George Tickner who had previously been members of Frumious Bandersnatch. Tickner and Valory would go on to form Journey, while Valory would subsequently join the Steve Miller Band.
The Band consisted of James Trumbo (keyboards-vocals), George Tickner (guitar), Royal Martin (guitar), Don Banducci (vocals), Lynn Chatwin (vocals), and Ross Valory (bass) and originated in Mill Valley, San Francisco.
The album according to the liner notes “seems to trip backward and forward through time”… a unique blend of pop, jazz, 1930 swing and the classics”. tunes include “Looking For Sunshine”, “Velvet Pillows And Crystal Dreams” and “Follow Me”. (Jack Dominilla)
