Description

Endle St. Cloud-In The Rain / Thank You All Very Much - International Artists Records IA-LP #12 (Stereo)(US)(1968) ...This auction is for an original Promotional Issue Stereo Record on U.S. vinyl.

  A typically freaky 1968 release from the freaky Texas label International Artists, Thank You All Very Much is a blend of guitar-based heavy psych, early country-rock, and an oddball music hall sound possibly influenced by the Kinks (especially on the jaunty "Jessica") and certainly unusual for a Texan group of their era.

Album notes  Singer and pianist Endle St. Cloud (it's also the band's name, à la Brinsley Schwarz) has an unusual voice with a heavy vibrato and often a higher-than-normal pitch; he sounds a bit like a slightly less-elfin version of T. Rex's Marc Bolan on a lot of tracks. The songwriting is kind of uneven, with the second side, featuring the loosey-goosey groove rocker "Like a Badge" (which has a fake-out turntable-slowing-down ending) and the tense "Laughter," better off than the first. Thank You All Very Much is that rarity, an obscure psych-era platter that's actually worth the trouble it takes to track down.

Editorial reviews 4 stars out of 5 -- [T]his is one off-the-wall listen....Much of this oddball flavour comes from the fact that the album is sequenced with a series of surreal piano and vocal vignettes introducing each of the album's eight tracks...
