Folk Rock Stereo LP Promo Asylum SD5050 Judee Sill


 


 


 
White label promo Asylum Stereo LP SD 5050 featuring the early folk-rock acoustic guitar material of Judee Sill from 1971. An interesting folksy sound with some good arrangements. Very 60's type protest songs. The vinyl is near mint. The gatefold cover has the original promo stickers across the front advertising songs to play, and it opens up with the liner notes inside along with all lyrics. There are no seam splits. Very hard to find in this condition as a promo pressing. Born in 1944, Sill died of a drug overdoes in 1979. From Wikipedia: Sill worked on the West Coast where she encountered Graham Nash and David Crosby and toured with them for a time as their opening act. After some initial interest from Atlantic Records[4] David Geffen offered her a contract with his new Asylum label. She sold her song "Lady-O" to The Turtles. She was featured on the cover of Rolling Stone. Graham Nash produced the first single for her first album, "Jesus was a Cross Maker", which was released to radio on October 1, 1971. The album Judee Sill soon followed in October 1971. The album featured Sill's voice in multiple overdubs, often in a four-part chorale or fugue. She worked with engineer Henry Lewy. Seattle-based folk group Fleet Foxes perform "Crayon Angels" at their concerts. American singer-songwriter Warren Zevon recorded "Jesus was a Cross Maker" for his 1995 album, Mutineer. "Jesus was a Cross Maker" was recorded in 1973 by Graham Nash's former band The Hollies, although Nash had no part in their recording. The Hollies' version appears in the opening sequence of Cameron Crowe's film Elizabethtown. Another version covered by American singer-songwriter Rachael Yamagata is featured in the film's soundtrack. Gospel rocker Larry Norman covered the song but retitled it as "Sweet Silver Angels". The song was released on the Essential 2: Agitator CD. Judee playing the guitar in the park Scottish Celtic-Soul singer Jackie Leven's 2006 album Oh What a Blow That Phantom Dealt Me! contains a song entitled "The Silver In Her Crucifix (Homage To Judee Sill)", which includes the lines: "and Judee Sill just stood there/with a gold key in her heart/and the silver in her crucifix/kept warring worlds apart/that's why I love Judee Sill.../and I know I always will." In 1983, Chicago-based lesbian-feminist singer Ginni Clemmens released an album entitled Lopin' Along Thru the Cosmos (reissued in 1992 on the Flying Fish label) which included cover versions of "Lady-O" and "Lopin' Along Thru the Cosmos." In 1991, English singer-songwriter Judie Tzuke released an album on Columbia called Left Hand Talking, which included a cover version of "Jesus was a Cross Maker". Linda Ronstadt covered "Jesus was a Cross Maker" but re-titled it "Bandit & a Heartbreaker"; it was released on her Elektra box set in 1999. A book called New Rock Record by Terry Hounsome, published in 1981, lists a third album Tulips From Amsterdam. In 2009, the independent label American Dust announced the release of Crayon Angel: A Tribute to the Music of Judee Sill, featuring covers of Sill's songs done by Beth Orton, Bill Callahan, Ron Sexsmith, Daniel Rossen, Final Fantasy, Marissa Nadler and Meg Baird, among others.[7] Singer songwriter Tanita Tikaram says that "Jesus was a Cross-Maker" is a song with which she is obsessed. In the 2010 film Greenberg, the lead female character Florence, played by Greta Gerwig, sings Sill's song "There's a Rugged Road." Gerwig sang this herself. The song did not appear on the "Greenberg" soundtrack CD.
