Description
from Wiki:
The original group comprised three core members: founder and bassist Louis "Cork" Marcheschi, guitarist David Blossom, and his wife, vocalist Nancy Blossom, augmented by Kim Kimsey (drums) and Larry Evans (guitar).
Cork Marcheschi (b. 1945) grew up in Burlingame, California. In his teens he performed with the Ethix, who played R&B music in clubs around San Francisco and in Las Vegas, and released one experimental and wildly atonal single, "Bad Trip", in 1966 - the intention being that the record could be played at any speed. Interested in the ideas of experimental composers like Edgard Varèse, John Cage, Terry Riley, and George Antheil, he constructed his own custom-made electronic instrument from a combination of elements like theremins, fuzzboxes, a cardboard tube, and a speaker from a World War II aircraft bomber.
David and Nancy Blossom brought both psychedelic and jazz influences to the band. Together, the trio recorded a demo which led to a deal with Limelight, a subsidiary of Mercury Records.
They released one album, Cauldron, in the summer of 1969, when Limelight started. It contained eleven songs, including "Fantasy", "Red the Sign Post" and "God Bless the Child", a Billie Holiday cover. Although an erratic work, it was intriguing for its mix of jazzy psychedelic rock tunes with fierce and primitive electronic sound effects. "I don't know if they are immature or premature", said critic Ralph J. Gleason.This is an incredible copy of the original album by Fifty Foot Hose, Cauldron. This came from the basement of the local university, where it sat with many other gems for about 30 years, untouched. Based on the condition, I believe this has never been played. The cover doesn't indicate it, but it is a promo, as the label clearly shows, obviously a pressing that came before any copies for sale. Anyone knows that the first copies off a limited run like this are superior to the records sent to stores. The master discs are just that much better. At any rate, there are a couple of stamps on the cover, and a file label. No splits or tears, although the bottom left corner has about an 1/8" worn spot -not really noticeable. Vinyl is MINT MINT MINT. Very heavy, no warping. Just a great copy. I hope you win it!
