JUNGLE S/T US HEAVY PSYCH ROCK LP SEALED LTD 260, LOW #14 HTF OOP

$

270

   I am offering a very rare opportunity to own a lost classic piece of American heavy psychedelic folk lore. Jungle's 1969 self titled release, reissued on Eight Little Indians Records in 1999. This is hand numbered at the very low number 14 out of only 260 produced. This remains sealed.and in mint condition. Album is housed in a solid black cover with embossed silver band logo and demonic icons. This is an essential purchase for serious record collectors into obscure psychedelic and heavy rock music. Here is further relating information on this unique album:

Jungle "Jungle" Recorded in New York in 1969 no label Demo Album Issued in Pain Black Sleeve original previously only issued as a 50 copies. Reissued initially in a blue velveteen cover with all artwork & text embossed in silver foil (Little Indians 1997) Limited repressing 450 copies sold out quickly & the record was re-released in a smaller edition 260 copies on multicolored and black vinyl. The only known single-original copy currently exists in a private collection!

From Los Angeles/California, this group made a pretty good laid back Rock record at the end of the decade that was re-issued in the '90s. This is one of those super-obscure collector-type albums, probably better known for having only one existing copy than for the music contained. Nothing is known about the band Jungle except that they recorded this album in 1969. It's definitely an accomplished studio effort, with excellent recording and production. There are lots of really great swirling acid organ, good strong singing (sometimes harmonized), and some truly great isolated fuzz guitar breaks with some of the other guitar work approaching a jazzy flavor. The tunes are all originals, and while the lyrics have dated, the band still sounds great. Not only was this originally an extremely rare artifact originally, but both the CD and LP reissues were limited to 500 as well.(Westergaard, AMG)..

Turns out that JUNGLE where old Faves of us: Three Members of legendary California GARAGE PUNKERS the KNIGHT RIDERS (of "I" Fame) went on to play in Jungle. If you know the music of Jungle and ever wondered why the Album has powerful, emotional soulful vocals which may only can be compared to LOVE in moments ..here is why: The Knight Riders where one of the few racially integrated Garage bands and singer Butch went on to be one of the two lead singers in Jungle. The album is with the exception of 2 songs rather dark, which can be traced back some of the personal autobiographical hardships endured by the members. And if it was foreshadowing the way the Jungle album was made, almost got a majorlabel deal and yet didn't is a story that could fill books, yet so sad some of it is to tough to print to this day.
This is one of the best and most sought after psychedelic gems ever recorded, with amazing and fluid heavy fuzz guitars, superb organ, drums and fantastic songwriting.
Recorded in New York in 1969 while the band was living in a farm in Vermont.
The original was pressed in a run of 50 demo copy´s only! No names or hints are given on the original LP but after over a decade of excrutiating search, Miguel Rodriguez, the man behind finding DARIUS, GARRETT LUND, STONEWALL and many more, finally found the band members! So here is your chance to listen to one of the great mystical Albums of the Psychedelic Private Press Collectors realm at the fraction of the cost of the original, in AMAZING sound. This gem comes in a gate-fold cover with unseen pictures and full band history, released in full collaboration with the surviving Band members. I like this album a great deal, I believe it is adventurous. A highly recommended obscure album for your music collection.
