*RARE* Carolyn Hester Coalition '68 psych NEAR MINT

Here it is! The infamous Carolyn Hester Coalition!

The thought of a folkie turning to psych is probably a major turnoff to many folks.  That's unfortunate since once you get over Hester's little girl lost voice, 1968's "The Carolyn Hester Coalition" is surprisingly enjoyable.   With excellent backing from The Coalition (bassist/keyboard player Dave Blume, drummer Skeeter Camera and lead guitarist Steve Wolfe), material such as "Magic Man", the fuzz guitar propelled "East Virginia" and "Half the World" offered up some excellent psych/rock numbers.  Sure, Hester's folkie roots were occasionally on display ("Tomorrow When I Wake Up"), and on tracks like "Big City Street" she bore a comfortable resemblance to Lulu.  The beautiful cover of "Let's Get Together", which the Youngbloods took to classic status, is worth the price alone!
