Description
PERRY LEOPOLD "Experiment In Metaphysics" (no label US 1970/UK 1993). The 800-pound ACID GORILLA of the underground acid/loner/downer/edge folk scene, Perry Leopold's masterful album was a legend already in the 1980s, and remains the yardstick against which all newcomers are measured, and usually found lacking. Reportedly recorded in a psychedelic mind-state, the album radiates an indescribable atmosphere of visionary clarity and bohemian despair. Seemingly without effort Leopold moves from a broken vagabond lament into 500 microgram LSD revelations of cosmic secrets, without missing a beat. The instrumental acoustic guitar passages are more psychedelic than 5 layers of Sgt Pepper studio effects. Perry invented "acid folk" (meaning genuinely psychedelic folk, not goofy nursery rhymes) and he put it on the label for the world to see. Simply an incredible LP, which like all the truly heavy private press classics delivers an experience that simply cannot be found on any other record. I recently got an original of this LP, so here's the old UK vinyl repro up for bids -- only 300 copies were pressed up and it was instantly sold out upon release. This reissue is actually a bit of a rarity in its own right, having sold for $150+ on occasion. Very nicely done repro job from you-know-who in Britain, who in addition to the snazzy gold-flake cover also took the trouble of putting together a custom insert with photos and ads, including one pic that shows Perry with Bruce Springsteen! Who's the boss now? Look at the walls of the universe. Clean copy M-/M-.
No matter what fanciful shipping costs that eBay have added to this listing, the accurate cost for regular air mail is $12 anywhere in the world. No additional ripoff fees for handling or whatever, but the winning bid + $12 gets you the LP, anywhere in the world. Registered air mail can be arranged if so desired.
