RARE collectible original first pressing on the old Kapp label, in TOP clean condition (see details below) ... The Silver Apples were an American underground space/psych crew who made a couple of pioneering electronic infused albums as early as 1968, no doubt influencing bands from the Krautrock progressive scene as well as many other 'experimental' bands from around the universe ..."CONTACT" is the 2nd Silver Apples album recorded & released in 1969...

Includes the 1969 Kapp records printed inner sleeve to the album.

 "Contact" does not differ from that of their debut. One aspect improved upon was the lyrics; many possess the same "cosmic" element found on the first "Silver Apples", but others are full of bitterness, pain, paranoia, and confusion. In turn, the lead oscillator (sound effects unit) is used to greater effect, reflecting this newfound intensity. Simeon, who composed the text for five of "Contact"'s ten songs (he framed one song on the 1st Silver Apples, "Dancing Gods"), was largely responsible for this change. The record opens with "You and I," one of their best numbers, in which Simeon cuts out the hippie overtones present in the first album's lyrics and gets straight to the point. The text of "I Have Known Love," written by Simeon's girlfriend Eileen Lewellen, details love's all-encompassing power. "You're Not Foolin' Me" incorporates outside sound to drive home the written word, using a continuous, ringing telephone to illustrate the obsessive nature of love. "A Pox on You" and "Gypsy Love" further exploit the feelings one experiences once love is denied and the raw emotions that surface. "Confusion" features Simeon's banjo playing prominently. The playful, tossed-off script adds to its throwaway nature, although there is a line or two alluding to their pop leanings. The album closer, "Fantasies," involves Simeon guiding drummer Danny Taylor through the song and hints at the intuitive, trusting nature of their collaboration. This often hilarious track comes as a bit of a surprise, but works along with "Confusion" as a counterbalance to the darker lyrical content on "Contact"
