Description

This is the original 1968 release of the first album from the psychedelic rock band, GROWING CONCERN. This is NOT a reissue.

VERY RARE!!!

Shipping included and will NOT ship media mail due to the rarity and value of this item.

This copy is beautiful; I would grade the cover at VG+-Near Mint. Only slight wear on the corners and only slight marks or wear/tear on the rest of the cover. The vinyl appears barely played with only a tiny smudge - no scratches or marks.

This self-titled album by The Growing Concern first saw the light of day in 1968 on Bob Shad's Mainstream label.
Shad who worked for Mercury, Savoy, and Emarcy in the 50's, working with the likes of Sarah Vaughan,
Blue Mitchell, Curtis Fuller had the fortune to sigh the then-unknown Janis Joplin.
The Growing Concern band was a different composition with its emphasis on beautiful vocal harmonies and fantastic guitar work. The album, which is brilliantly recorded, is of consistantly high musical quality."

"Fantastic ringing acid guitar work with male/female vocal duets that swoop and dive over a strong acid folk/rock backing. Essential for the US '60s fanatic
