THE MILLENNIUM – BEGIN

Columbia Stereo CS 9663

Runout Side 1  XSM 136542-1A

Runout Side 2  XSM 136543-1A

One owner. Vinyl plays great (just spun on my Rega Planar 2). Clean with minor scuffing that does not affect play. Cover has minor ring wear on front. Back has a few nicks along the left side (see photo). Top and Bottom right corners have half-inch split. Does not have the original inner sleeve. New audiophile inner sleeve is provided.

Non-smoking home.

Packed carefully and sent promptly.

Here’s a review with information on the group:

by David Morales

“In the States there were only two producers that Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys looked up to: Phil Spector and Curt Boettcher. An album titled Begin by the band Millennium is one of the better known works from legendary producer Boettcher’s career.

Millennium was a supergroup of top California musicians and producers including legendary producer Gary Usher and Music Machine members Doug Rhodes and Ron Edgar. Begin turned out to be one of the most expensive albums in history for Columbia, and it shows. It’s an ambitious collection of solid baroque-pop psych, with beautiful harmonies, lush orchestral arrangements, catchy melodies and lyrics of love and heartbreak under the California sun, though it never falls into cheesy territory.

Begin should have been a hit, but like the Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds it laid dormant, only to be hailed as a masterpiece decades later. Standout tracks include “There is Nothing More To Say” and “I Just Want To Be Your Friend.” Beautiful!”
