STILL IN ORIGINAL FACTORY PLASTIC...
Hard to find ORIG 1968 first pressing on the highly collected rainbow Capitol label...the first of two strong albums by STAINED GLASS, neither of which turn up often, and worth the score...
The wonderful world of Crazy Horse Roads, released in 1968 by Stained Glass, has been unjustly forgotten with the passing of time. The band started out life covering Beatles songs in San Jose, California. Their first single, a cover of the Beatles’ If I Needed Someone was released in 1966. It was a respectable cover of the Beatle’s classic though the flip was better, being a moody folk-rock original.
In the 1960’s, artists and rock bands depended on the success of the single to grant them artistic and creative control/freedom (making albums). We Got A Long Way To Go was a huge local hit, well executed, pleasant enough and professional, though betraying the band’s roots and creative aspirations. Eventually the band was granted freedom to record two albums on the famed Capital label.
Crazy Horse Roads is a unique effort, and much different from their jam oriented 2nd "Aurora" album. There are some solid psych pop songs (Night Cap, Twiddle My Thumbs and Fingerpainting), r&b rock (Two Make One and Fahrenheit), galloping rural-rock (Horse On Me) and hard folk-rockers (Light Down Below, Doomsday, I Sing You Sing, and Soap and Turkey). Doomsday really stands out as the lost mini classic though, with some huge vibrating fuzz riffs, hard strumming accoustic guitars, tight harmonies and a psychedelic production. Night Cap is also a really good bouncy, twisted psych pop song with a British influence. You never know whats coming next throughout the album and the band’s sound resembles Moby Grape, HMS Bounty and Buffalo Springfield.
Aurora, their second, released the following year (1969), is a good album finding the band indulging in a guitar based San Fransisco ballroom style.
