WHITE LABEL PROMO
LACEWING
\ USA - MAINSTREAM RECORDS - 6132 - white label promotional
RARE WHITE LABEL PROMOTIONAL...Old white label promo albums such as this are very hard to find some 40 years later...pressed up as limited editions by major labels to be sent out to media publications and radio stations for review, the white label albums were the first to be pressed off the freshly cut masters and retain the best sound quality ...naturally collectors seek these pressings and most of the good titles (like this) are tucked away in private collections...
Highly sought after 1970 ORIGINAL first pressing vinyl on the highly collected 'Mainstream' label, home label to several garage & psych obscurity gems...
Some of the bigger (garage/psych) collectors have stated that this is one of the BEST PSYCH records that MAINSTREAM produced. Long songs, great singing, good guitar.
Previously known in the OHIO area as the Measles. A name change to something 'hipper' was needed, so Lacewing became the new and short lived moniker . The Lacewing LP was recorded at Criteria studios in Miami, just like the other NE Ohio bands like Decembers' Children and Freeport.
LACEWING deliver drifty dreamy female vocals with superb backing. Lacewing have a really lovely sound that somewhat fits their name -- an approach to psyche that's partially infused by folkrock melodies which comes across with a bit more sensitivity than some of their contemporaries on the label! The guitar parts are strong, but also have a lightness too -- not as fuzzy or freaky as you might expect from Mainstream Records at the time, and further warmed up a bit with vocals from female singer Mary Sterpka. There's a bit of organ on the record, which occasionally has an equally light feel -- and in a way, Lacewing come across sounding like one of those great lost Marin County hippie groups of the late 60's who were eclipsed by some of the bigger acts of the time -- kind of a Bay Area-rural sound, if that makes any sense, and highlighted by the stunning "Paradox"
