MAD RIVER

“MAD RIVER” 

Capitol      ST-2985

1968

EX / EX-

FIRST PRESSING

STILL IN SHRINK

ONLY COPY ON EBAY AS OF 5-6-2017.  

Spectacular copy of Berkeley psychedelic band Mad River’s first LP release.

The band had originally formed at Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio in December 1965 but had moved to Berkeley by March, 1967, in time for San Francisco’s Summer of Love.  They played the ballroom circuit and were a popular local draw around the Bay area.

Stored vertically in a smoke-free environment for 48 years.

About the band from the fine AllMusic web site:  “One of the oddest San Francisco Bay Area bands of the late '60s, Berkeley-based Mad River cut two albums that are highly regarded by psychedelic collectors. After releasing a rare EP on a tiny local label in 1967, the band signed with Capitol and released their self-titled debut the following year. Perhaps the most ominous San Francisco band of the time, the group often sounded like an extremely dark version of Quicksilver Messenger Service with a bit of Country Joe & the Fish's minor-key melodies thrown in. Their material veered between drawn-out angst jams and frenetic numbers, spotlighting David Robinson's shimmering, blistering guitar leads and leader/songwriter Lawrence Hammond's mournful, quavering vocals.”
