1970 Hippie folk-psych gem ~ ON COLUMBIA RECORDS* \
The PERTH COUNTY CONSPIRACY
Does Not Exist
\ CANADA - (red & black) COLUMBIA RECORDS - ELS 375
RARE...early '70s VINTAGE COLLECTIBLE, recorded in 1970, housed in an elaborate unipack gatefold cover, pressed on the red and black Columbia Records label
Recommended if you enjoy stoned electrified hippie folk/psych from the turn of 1970.
Terrific progressive Canadian hippies folkpsych LP with a lot of brains and $$$ put into it, still underrated but really one of the best of its kind. In terms of rarity, up there with Jarvis street Review, Ptarmigan, and It's All Meat, which were all released in the same time frame [1970] as the "Does Not Exist" album...
This 1970 PEARTH COUNTY CONSPIRACY Lp is an expensive production, with one of the most attractive soundscapes one may ever come across within the genre, which could be described as Progessive Hippie Folkpsych. The Perth County Conspiracy band was formed in Stratford, Ontario as a typical hippie-era art/folk music commune; plenty of people involved, wives, brothers, kids and maybe a couple of shaggy dogs too.
The opening mix of half-sung poetry and hippie anthem is followed by a Brit-sounding piano-led downer trip, recalling Nick Drake but given a nice edge by Cedric Smith, whose acidic vocals are one of the album's many strengths. We are then transported halfway across the world, out into the Californian desert where a deftly understated tribute to "Easy Rider" -- the movie -- rises from the ground like an evening campfire. Richard Keelan's vocals are more of a Steven Stills type introspection, and the difference in style between the two main guys is cleverly juxtaposed throughout the LP. The redneck gunshot at the end of "Easy Rider" is used as a bridge into a highly theatrical spoken bit, full of convoluted anti-war propaganda; graphic and unpleasant but also ironic and multilayered. This in turn works as an introduction to "Truth and fantasy", a suite of superb folkpsych mixed with short theatrical interludes. Labyrinthine? Confusing? Well, that's what the LP is like -- trips opening within trips, yet constantly moving forward. This is also why one might consider this a more genuinely psychedelic album than most of the artifacts of its genre. Hey, there's nothing wrong with being pretentious as long as you pull it off. Of course, almost none of the prog-folkers do, but on this LP the Perth County Conspiracy do with flying colors, God bless 'em. We are treated to the beautiful folkpsych of "Keeper of the keys" which is a good pick to play for a friend you want to convince of the album's greatness; in fact you have to be dead from the neck up not to worship this tune. A real fave of some collectors, the album sports several strong tracks and a peak in the deep acid introspection of "Crucifixation Cartoon".
