Description

If you are looking at this, you have probably heard of this legendary record. A very limited number were pressed on a private Omaha, Nebraska label in 1977. This is an internationally sought after collector’s item and a very nice listen.

Up for auction is an unopened, unplayed l.p. in the original shrink wrap. I am a member of the band and I have decided to sell off a few of the few remaining copies that I have, since they are not doing anyone any good sitting in a box in my closet. The album is pictured in front of one of the basses I used on the l.p., a Les Paul Triumph bass (not included!)

I believe this l.p. is in perfect condition. It has been stored in the original carton in which the l.p.s were shipped to the band, and in a climate controlled area. However, in the original press run, we had five people who bought albums that had a skip in one song. When we originally were selling these, we replaced any that had the skip. Since I am down to my last few l.p.s, I cannot do this, and since the rest of the songs on the l.p. have always been fine, I cannot refund the purchase price either. So, although I am 99.99% sure it will be fine, the item is sold “as is” no refunds or exchanges.

Used copies have been selling in the $70 range.

Lyonhill (1977)

Excellent mainstream rock/folk-rock private press album that sounds SoCal, though they’re from Nebraska. The album starts with a great moody folk-rocker with some hot violin, and goes on to show a surprising amount of diversity. There are shimmering acoustic guitars, and absolutely spot-on harmonies. This is the rare band where the male and female singers sound perfect together. Highlights include a bluegrass song with honkytonk piano that would make the Dillards proud and some tasteful and effective synthesizer. The songs are basically short and tight … a terrific record by a multifaceted band.
