FRENCH LICK : Glider LP (Fric Frac [USA] JP-FL-2-77) 1976.
Record is VG+ with light sleeve marks only. It plays with light noticeable surface noise audible during quiet parts, but nothing too bad, and no pops, sticks or skips. Cover is also VG+ with two bent corners (top and bottom right), moderate wear and light stains to the back. Also the front stick is mostly unglued, though it is not damaged and could be re-glued easily. As noted in Acid Archives (see below), some copies were issued with blank covers and the front and back slicks (or sometimes just the front, apparently) included as inserts. That may have been the case here and the original owner attached the front poorly. We will leave it to the new owner to re-glue it if he or she desires. With insert (excellent).
Original copy of this crazy 1976 private California prog rock LP.
From Acid Archives :
"'Glider' is a smorgasbord of 70s prog and AOR clichés, but they're assembled in a rather likeable way, as is the case with, say, Oz Knozz, though this isn't nearly as heavy. There are plenty of synths here, high male vocals, tempo shifts, and funky rhythms. Each side ends with a lengthy three-part suite. There's also an acoustic ballad, some obvious Yes influences, and a ridiculous synth instrumental that brings to mind 70s moog novelties like 'Popcorn.' All of it is very well-played and sung; they have a good youthful spirit and enough ideas for two albums. Not all of the experiments work, and the instrumental suite on side one falls a little flat, but if you’re inclined to like this kind of album it’s recommended. I don’t expect it to convert skeptics, though. Pick hit: 'Talk About Love,' which has backwards drum bits and a haunting hook/melody line. Some copies of this album came with the cover already pasted on while others came in a white sleeve with front and back cover both included as inserts."
