AFTER ALL s/t Rare 1969 Original Athena Psych lp Listen!

1969/USA/Athena Records 6006….. here’s a rare original pressing of this highly sought psychedelic lp. The cover is in decent condition with light shelf wear, heavy ring wear top and bottom, heavy corner wear and some paper loss, partially split seams both top and bottom with some paper missing, delete hole lower left corner, small writing and stamps top right side, otherwise the cover is ok. The vinyl is in shiny VG++ condition with a handful of light inaudible hairlines/scuffs and a couple of light hazey spots on both sides at the end of the record and do not cause any noise. The record looks clean and plays with light noise/crackle at cue and between tracks. There is a bit more crackle at cue on side two but otherwise great. There is odd light occasional noise but nothing distracting and the record plays with dynamic fidelity. I have recorded this directly from the record being sold and have added no sound fixing. What you hear is what you get. A decent copy of this very rare lp! Please check my listings for other rock, garage and paysch lp’s. Good luck and thanks for looking!

Hastily put together in 1969 by a veteran quartet of Tallahassee, FL, musicians and together for only a handful of months, After All is merely a footnote in the history of late-'60s and Florida rock. Their single recorded effort, however, was a moody slice of acid-tinged progressive pop that brings back the grooviness and off-the-cuff adventurousness of the decade in full color. All of the members of After All had a history playing in various rhythm & blues and jazz bands, dating back to the late '50s, performing at clubs and parties throughout the Tallahassee region. Drummer Mark Ellerbee was fresh out of Vietnam and a graduate of the Florida State School of Music when he bumped into fellow Florida State graduate and keyboardist Alan Gold, who was performing at the time in one of the area's top night club bands. With the addition of fellow scenesters bassist Bill Moon and jazz guitarist Charles Short, After All was officially born. The group envisioned creating a concept album by throwing together a variety of the era's newest styles, from acid and classical rock to structural complexity and surreal lyrics. To help with the latter, they enlisted a young local poet, Linda Hargrove, to provide the lyrics to most of the songs. The band knew a Nashville producer who was willing to record a "spec album" for them at no cost provided if they did it quickly, so they entered the studio in 1969 and recorded After All in a couple days. Following the release of the album on Athena Records, the instrumentalists returned to Florida and took up their respective careers again.
