Description
"HENRY TREE- ELECTRIC HOLY MAN"
1969 Mainstream S/6129 label
The condition of the cover is VG+ with a small upper left drill hole and some moisture evidence at the bottom (see photos). There are no seam splits or writing. The condition of the disc is a clean EX+, very close to my top M- grade, and it plays great!
One of the rarest and most difficult to find psych albums on a legendary Mainstream psych/garage label (which also included Big Brother and the Holding Co.; Tangerine Zoo, Jelly Bean Bandits; Growing Concern; Stone Circus; Amboy Dukes and many others in their roster), this was the only album by this obscure Cleveland-based band.
Produced by Bob Shad, 1970's "Electric Holy Man" differed from a lot of other early-1970s Mainstream releases in that it showcased a progressive streak rather than the popsike sound that was common to the label. Moreover, for a trio these guys sported a surprisingly full sound, helped in no small measure by Markish's impressive voice. Not being a big jazz fan, I'll be among the first to admit that I was surprised at how entertaining the group's jazzy forays were. 'Mr. Fear', their Traffic cover and the extended title track showcase that interesting jazzy streak with some stunning work from un-credited jazz guitarist Bill DeArango. Mind you there was still plenty of fuzz driven guitar (check out the second half of the title track), but it didn't come close to these other highlights and the group's most commercial effort; the ballad 'Lady Of Day' was also the album's most disposable offering.
