CLEAN 1968 ORIGINAL FIRST PRESSING!
SPIRIT
The Family That Plays Together
USA - yellow ODE RECORDS - Z12 44014
CLEAN Original 1968 first pressing in thick gatefold of the second SPIRIT album, a classic from the WEST COAST hipster rock scene, Among other delights spread over the two sides it contains the timeless killer "I Got A Line On You"
Admittedly, history has not been as kind to Spirit as it has to many of their contemporaries. The fiery guitar work and Hendrix-esque vocals of Randy California mixed with jazzy instrumentals and tight vocal harmonies made for some exceptional and thoroughly enjoyable music.
The album opens with Spirit's only Top 30 hit, the California penned, I've Got a Line On You. Giving up his trademark multi-tracked guitars, Randy California instead plays it simple with an infectious and catchy guitar solo-- proving to his fans as much as to himself that sometimes less truly is more.
The hopeful, It Shall Be, follows. In an era where America's youth were being sent to Vietnam, California wanted to spread a little sunshine instead-- a little hope for the future in a present that was quite scary for many.
Another highlight to this exceptional album of stand-out tracks is Darlin' If, featuring beautifully tight vocal harmonies in a style of California folk-rock. The guitar solo is poignant and beautiful and the song is gorgeously emotive.
The above record featured Spirit at an early peak, and the strange psych blowout Aren’t You Glad showed California’s mastery of the fuzztone.
RANDY CALIFORNIA was clearly breaking new ground with tone and texture and perhaps the true masterpiece on this album is Dream Within A Dream. This song opens with some intense Hendrix influenced riffs which eventually drift into space, riding high on insane, droning bumble bee fuzz riffs that hit really hard. It’s one of the great slices of LA guitar psych and mandatory listening for any casual rock fan. For those who have not given this legendary band a chance, it is worth your while to do so.
There are no weak tracks on this exceptional album, it's just a collection of great music from a much different era from a band that, unfortunately, has largely been forgotten in the pages of musical history.
