The 31st of February
s/t
Very Rare Original US LP released on Vanguard Records in 1968. 1st US Promo pressing with white labels that have 'Not For Sale. printed on the right side.
While there's nothing particularly objectionable about the 31st of February's sole album, there's nothing exciting or memorable about it either. It's late-'60s pop-psychedelic/folk-rock, dominated by the songs of either Scott Boyer or David Brown, though they also cover Buffy Sainte-Marie's "Cod'ine," Jackie DeShannon's obscure "The Greener Isle," and the Dan Penn-Spooner Oldham-Chips Moman collaboration "Sandcastles." Light, reflective folk-rock is the primary color, slightly more downbeat than upbeat (heard to its best effect on "Porcelain Mirrors" and the lugubrious "Cries of Treason"), with a faint Baroque tinge to some of the arrangements and the occasional orchestration. There's a bit of California psychedelic freakout as well on "A Nickel's Worth of Benny's Help,"
