1968 ORIGINAL 360-COLUMBIA COLLECTIBLE
The UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
\ USA - 360 Sound COLUMBIA - XSM 135628
Original 1968 first pressing on the highly collected 360 Sound label....one of the pioneering USA psychedelic electronic groups...
To be appreciated The United States Of America album MUST BE HEARD THROUGH HEADPHONES. "Hard Coming Love" hops around your head like a rattlesnake on a skillet in an attempt to simulate an orgasm between your ears!
Fueled by the avant-garde sonic ammo of keyboardist/composer Joe Byrd and the haunting vocals of Dorothy Moskowitz, the United States Of America found a way to permanently hard-wire space-age electronic music to the heart of rock and roll on their highly desirable, self-titled 1968 debut. Byrd’s kaleidoscopic musical excursions and Gordon Marron’s searing violin orbit around the icy vocals of Moskowitz, who—with a passing resemblance to early Jefferson Airplane belter Signe Anderson—remains the group’s center, steady as a rock. This is a heady mind-trip...
Full of musical and literary references, Byrd often sounds like late Charles Ives repeatedly quoting "Columbia the Gem of the Ocean". "Steppenwolf" (the book by Hesse, not the band) "the cost of one admission is your mind". "Winnie the Pooh". The visions of Hironymous Bosch's, "Garden of Earthly Delight" where Bryd descibes what he sees inside his girlfriends eyes.
"Song for Dead Che" a beautiful ballad, "Agnus Dei" which compares the aftermath of love and memory to a nuclear blast "shadows on the pavement but no bodies do you find". "Coming Down".
From beginning to end a lost classic of the sixties. Alternately lyrical, thought provoking, excessive, paranoid, beautiful, raucous, US of A is a classic with a short half-life which repeatedly appears and disappears from the marketplace. This is the real sixties, not the "Peace and Love - Flower Power" you usually hear about...
The American Metaphysical Circus Hard Coming Love Cloud Song The Garden Of Earthly Delights I Won't Leave My Wooden Wife For You, Sugar B: Where Is Yesterday Coming Down Love Song For The Dead Che Stranded In Time The American Way Of Love
CONDITION: The cover: as far a 1968 original cover, it's a real hard one to find clean with the dark cover and 40+ years on...this one pretty good, the seams are very strong and tight, there is only very light shelf wear starting, not much. The back cover has a name at the top over the song lyrics (only song lyrics are on the back)...
The vinyl: has only some very small little superficial marks, visual then, between VG++ and "EX" (excellent), plays outstanding ...there is a name on both labels, otherwise all glossy, shiny grooves...
A cool addition to anyone's music library!
