COLLECTION COPY!
This is a (going on) 48 year old Capitol lime green label released in 1969. The lime green "target" designed label is actually harder to find than the rainbow Capitol because Capitol only pressed Lp's with green labels for some 18 months...
HARD TO FIND lime green Capitol label collectible in thick gatefold cover...the LP was recorded in 1968 and was the very first album by the Steve Miller Band, sometimes underestimated or missed by many, however considered one of the great psychedelic blues gems of the hippie era.
A psychedelic blues rock-out, 1968's Children of the Future marked Steve Miller's earliest attempt at the ascent that brought him supersonic superstardom. But this debut is nothing like the commercial plateau reached nearly 10 years later ...Recorded in 1967 at Olympic Studios in London with storied producer Glyn Johns at the helm, the set played out as pure West Coast psych-rock inflected grooves intriguingly cloaked in the misty pathos of the U.K. blues ethic. Though bandmate Boz Scaggs contributed a few songs, the bulk of the material was written by Miller while working as a janitor at a music studio in Texas earlier in the year. The best of his efforts resonate in a side one free-for-all that launches with the keys and swirls of the title track and segues smoothly through "Pushed Me Through It" and "In My First Mind," bound for the epic, hazy, lazy, organ-inflected "The Beauty of Time Is That It's Snowing," which ebbs and flows in ways that are continually surprising. The second half of the LP is cast in a different light — a clutch of songs that groove together but don't have the same sleepy flow. Though it has since attained classic status — Miller himself was still performing it eight years later — Scaggs' "Baby's Callin' Me Home" is a sparse, lightly instrumentalized piece of good old '60s San Francisco psych. His "Steppin' Stone," on the other hand, is a raucous, heavy-handed blues freakout with a low-riding bass and guitar breaks that angle out in all directions. Children of the Future was a brilliant debut. And while it is certainly a product of its era, it's still a vibrant reminder of just how the blues co-opted the mainstream to magnificent success.
