Description
first ever reissue of this hopelessly rare & obscure 1971 rural virginia private press folk masterpiece. a true anomaly in the seemingly bottomless world of self released albums, this one charts a truly unique realm all its own… while the sound itself may draw some clear influence from classics of the day, even lifting the band name from a song by The Band, the mood & vibe here is ponderously uncharted territory, seemingly birthed complete from some parallel sonic reality. crude lo-fi metaphysical basement folkrock filtered through a deeply southern gothic / appalachian / americana band aesthetic and executed in the purest, most sincere, spontaneous, vibe-thick sense possible.
pressed on highest quality 180gm virgin vinyl and packaged in an exact reproduction heavy old-style cover, with exact repro labels. also includes a double-sided heavy stock insert with new liner notes from main songwriter and vocalist roger mannon, as well as introductory notes from band scholar and devoted fan jack d. fleischer. one time vinyl only pressing of 500 copies.
