- GERMANY - HYPE RECORDS
- TOP COPY
- Hard to believe this exact second pressing reissue was released 35 years ago and turns up less than the 1975 first press.
- Regardless, KRISTYL was recognized in the first wave of records thought should be made available again for the simple reason of the thoroughly gradifying set of self compositions highlighted by the ability to create such addictive melodies, then execute a body of performance led by stunning enhanced wah-wah, fuzz, and twin-lead guitar work, plus pleasant vocals fitting in perfectly. A classic "monster" this one - hard to believe once it sinks in to the listener their would be no one that wouldn't at least appreciate.
- Best said left undone, read what five different collectors are saying about the record below.
- A real classic of ‘70s underground rock, the 1975 self-released sole album by Kentucky band Kristyl is now reissued and fully legit for the first time. Regarded as one of the best guitar psych-rock albums from the '70s and a true collector’s gem, this wonderful disc includes seven original songs with stunning guitar-work from the band’s leader Sonny DeVore. Despite being a private pressing, the recording quality is great, still revealing serious fuzz-wah, twinned guitar and blues supported by some subtly repentant X-ian vocal themes.
Some definite Christian influences on this scarce Kentucky private press monster, one that’s revered among collectors of the whole local basement psych phenomenon. Great lengthy dual guitar action with fuzz, wah-wah, tremolo jamming in psychy rural Southern-edged progressive context, balancing both heavy and soft melodic passages. Vocals are on the amateurish end, but that's a good thing. Spiritual angle most evident on tracks like ‘Deceptions Of The Mind’ (“pray to the messiah, pray to the living God, pray that he will forgive your sin, pray that he will save your soul”), along with ‘Like A Bird So Free’ and ‘Morning Glory’. Loud blues-rock moves on ‘Woman’ and ‘Bluebird Blues’. Only a couple hundred pressed, though some occasionally show up on lists in the $500 range. Mysterious faded blue cover of snake encircling the earth is a plus.
Recorded at Allen-Martin Productions Louisville, Kentucky. This is the psych rock group Kristyl who released their only LP in a private pressing of only 200 in 1975. The music is reminiscent somewhat, sometimes, of Wishbone Ash from their Argus album. The KRYSTAL album is homemade guitar psychedelia from Kentucky. A nice mixture of gentle dreamy passages, heavier acid guitar and wah-wah fuzz along with charmingly teenage vocals.
Highly regarded local 1970s melodic guitar-rock with an open late-1960s west-coast vibe, dual guitars and great organic playing/vocals all around. They have a very distinct sound which makes the tracks seem similar at first, but it opens up after some plays and remains that way. The best tracks such as “Deceptions Of The Mind” and “Valley of Life” are truly monumental. Personal fave, one of the big ones in the style. Great sleeve design - note the drummers t-shirt. Originals were pressed on very thin vinyl, so most copies have slight bowl warps. The 2nd press on the Hype label for cost conscious rings out fine.
Timeless pinnacle of teenage, rural, psychedelia. The consensus seems to be that this is a 1975 recording, but dealers always (accurately) describe it as sounding much earlier. The psychedelic playing on Deceptions of the Mind often contrasts with the anti-drugs/sex lyrics: Alcohol and sex unclean, copping drugs all over the scene/What is it that we need, Lord it's love and it's for free. Kentucky can't have been an easy place to strike a deal to have this recorded, so maybe they felt they needed to put an anti-drugs message in here and there. The music is consistently wonderful, side 1 in particular, with side 2 ending with the beautiful Morning Glory. The dual guitars are laden with effects and full of interesting twists and turns. The singing is honest and clear. Not as crazed as Fraction, but in the same league of expressive, sincere musicianship. A beautiful, naive feeling pervades the whole LP, like they believed anything could happen, the world could change as a result of their sounds. For us, they were right. Why is the drummer wearing a shirt with a hash leaf on it, perhaps it says hash free zone underneath? The sleeve art is also top-ten, being a monochrome crudely drawn snake encircling the earth……. - CONDITION:
- The cover: rated: near M- very fragile, well maintained the past near 35 years...there are no delete marks, no split seams, no bends, and no writing ...
