Mark Eric - A midsummer's day dream LP
Original US 1969 pressing on Revue.... fantastic beach-boys influenced psych pop album
Every so often, there is an album recorded so out of touch with the times that there is nothing for it to do but die on the vine, even if that album is a masterpiece. Mark Eric's album A Midsummer's Day Dream is just such an album. Released the same month as the Woodstock festival in the summer of 1969, there could not be an album as far removed from the music that summer as A Midsummer's Day Dream. Disregarding the warnings set forth by Hendrix when he proclaimed that we would never hear surf music again, Mark Eric took the Californian music of the Beach Boys' and the Sunrays into the nether regions of the late 1960s. Sadly, an album of luscious beauty and elegant arrangements was lost in the heyday of "a hazy shade of gray".
Mark Eric was not about rocking out and maybe that is one reason his album was not adequately promoted by his record label at the time it was released. He was more about group harmonies inspired by the Four Freshmen, personal songs with a laid-back Californian attitude, and jazzy arrangements. So while the entire album does have a hazy late summer feel to it, that summer in 1969 left Mark Eric miles away from recognition. Left alone with a lost platter and no one to share it with, Mark Eric and his only album A Midsummer's Day Dream drifted into obscurity
