Description

This copy is probably the best you will ever find- still SEALED!  No wear or age related blemishes whatsoever to speak of, unless you count the slight wear on the original price tag.  Original owner name tag taped on, which looks like it can be removed without much trouble.  Pictures include the great black and white photo of Polce with patched jeans appearing on the rear cover, along with a shot of the front cover - a photo of an oil painting.   Great endorsements by Ken Scott (Archivist) and the Acid Archives (excerpted below).  

JOHN POLCE: The Call (Brotherly Love, US 1976) For those who thought the wells had run dry of either great unknown downer folk, or great Christian '70s albums, here's an outstanding Christian downer folk LP that seems to be almost unknown. Polce opens his album with a so-so upbeat tune, but then lays on dark, Catholic moods that become increasingly spellbinding with each number. The last track on side 1 has a Dave Bixby-like intensity, but the rest is more reminiscent of Bob Desper -- with strong, soaring vocals, sombre guitar-picking, and well-written minor chord tunes. Side 2 is a hypnotic journey into late-night Calvary guilt that will arrest your attention for the full 20 minutes it lasts. Housed in a beautiful color sleeve, "The Call" is one of the Top 5 best albums I've run across in 2009. Except for the short opening track, I think it's as good as Bob Desper.
