Description

JOHN SCOGGINS - PRESSED FOR TIME - TIGER LILY 14059. FROM 1976 THIS LP ON THE INFAMOUS TIGER LILY LABEL HAS THE COVER AT A NICE VG++ WITH SOME CREASING TO THE COVER - ESPECIALLY URHC. THERE IS A BIT OF WEAR THAT LOOKS LIKE THE VERY EARLY STAGES OF A SEAM SPLIT AT THE EXACT CENTER BOTTOM SEAM. SINCE THE LP WILL NOT BE PUT BACK IN THE COVER BY ME, THIS WILL NOT GET ANY WORSE FROM HERE. THE VINYL LOOKS UNPLAYED AND THERE IS A SLIVER OF EXTRA VINYL IN THE SPINDLE HOLE THAT WOULD NOT BE THERE IF IT HAD BEEN PLAYED. THERE IS SOME WAX STAINING INHERENT TO THE VINYL. LABELS ARE NEAR MINT. THERE IS IS A "BIO" SLIP OF PAPER THAT HAD BEEN TAPED TO THE INNER SLEEVE. IT WAS TORN AND I TAPED IT BACK TOGETHER. THIS COPY IS ABOUT AS CLEAN AS THE RECENT ONE THAT SOLD FOR $295 HERE ON EBAY.

NICE WORDS FROM THE ACID ARCHIVES OF UNDERGROUND SOUNDS :

"Pressed For Time" 1976 (Tiger Lily 14059) [promos exist]

Charming dreamy 1970s pop with an early new wave sensibility mixed with a warm, 1960s-style folkrock sound. Light, upbeat vocals fit the music perfectly, and the playing is fine with lots of ringing guitars. Several songs are superb 3-minute creations in the classic McCartney/McGuinn school, and the LP sticks close to this credo throughout, with only a jokey hillbilly tune wasted. While not a far out psych monster or hardrock blowout, most people who hear this like it, simply on ground of its talent and sunny feel. Too bad it came out on the tax-loss Tiger Lily label; on the appropriate label it could have been a Shoes-type cult classic. [PL]

~~~

Along with Stonewall, this is the cream of the crop on this fascinating label. Pressed For Time is a very solid 70s pop album-hooky, highly melodic songs, jangly guitars, lovely high male vocals and joyous harmonies, and a significant Beach Boys influence. A bit of fuzz guitar, especially on "Somebody's Sad," adds a nice touch of energy. The format is varied by a goofy country tune on side one and a soulful Easybeats cover on side two, but otherwise it's just one memorable, hummable song after another, evoking the best summer feelings. Power pop fans will go insane when they discover this one. Oddly, there exist a number of copies of this album with stickers on the cover, some of which list the actual band members, implying that unlike other Tiger Lily albums at some point there was an effort on someone's part to actually sell the thing.
