Description

Artist: GARY HIGGINS

Title: Red Hash

Label: Rufusmoon

Condition:

Disc: EX+

Cover: VG+

 

A must for the Psych/Psychedelic, Loner, Real People music collector, this is the Very Rare and Excellent Private Pressing of  folky loner psych album “Red Hash” from Connecticut by Gary Higgins released in 1973 on the Rufusmoon (wmi 3673) label. The low budget pressing has a tiny bit of occasional noise, but many would grade this a M-. The Jacket has a small print promo stamp on the front and on the record labels and there is some ring wear (see photo). The jacket is in otherwise Excellent condition. This Lp is also listed in the Hans Pokora 3001 Record Collector Dreams as one of his favorites, and a copy of this album sold earlier this year on Ebay for $225.00!

            Here’s a description: “Highly enjoyable smalltown hippie folk/folkrock with a professional sound, good vocals and songs full of hooks and strong melodies. A dreamy melancholy dominates, but the sharp arrangements and elaborate production keeps it from ever drifting off. Lyrics deal with dope and being in prison, which is a true story & probably what kept him off major labels. Higgins received a severe 2-year-9-month sentence for possession of weed, but had time to record this album shortly before going to jail. ‘Red Hash’ is a nickname he aquired when being in custody. Underrated record. Do not miss this. One of the best loner folk albums. Apparently recorded before Gary went to prison, which gives it an extra edge. Higgins is a great songwriter, and has an appealing soft-but-gruff vocal style. The lyrics reach into some pretty unusual places, and the melodies and hooks are full of unexpected left turns. He even uses moog to nice effect here and there."- LYSERGIA.COM
