PETER BERKOW & Friends Faculty Recital LP

PRIVATE PRESS - Faculty Recital 1976 Private press mostly recorded at Funky Features Studios in San Francisco and Golden Voice Studios in South Pekin, IL) MUSICIANS: Berkow, Joe Hougnon, Paul Abrahms, Charlie Haynes, Ylonda Nickell, Mark Williams, Randy Mason SELECTED INSTRUMENTS: congas, fuzz-guitar, wah-wah, flute, sax, heavy bass, synth, harmonica, phase-shifted vocals, misc. percussion NUMBER OF TRACKS: 8 (all originals) CUTS: Spritual Rebate (For The Stoned Zen Pimp); Halflife; Credit Card Blues; Liquid Smog; I Run Too; Coda: As The Planet Explodes; Sometimes My Life; Street Jam DESCRIPTION: Man, this one’s as COOL as it is BIZARRE – and very hard to describe. It’s very ECLECTIC – so much so that I’m not sure which categories are the best to place it in. Sometimes the styles blend together, sometimes they vary between songs – sometimes they vary within the songs. The result is an AMAZING MIX of PSYCH, PROG, JAZZ, FUNK and AVANT-ELECTRONIC PRIVATE-PRESS MARVEL! Occasionally folky, often SPACY. I think it’s gonna be of most interest to jazz and prog-psych collectors, but DJs will find all kinds of WILD SOUNDS and some FUNKY BREAKS for sampling/mixing. There’s plenty of HEAVY FUZZ and BIZARRO-ELECTRONICA for lovers of, well, fuzz and electronics! Not to mention some free-jazz for fans of that genre. And of course, it’s HOMEMADE – self-produced all-original tunes, no label or catalogue number; one tune ("Street Jam") was even recorded in a stairwell in Chico, CA – making it an even greater treasure for aficionados of ODDBALL RARITIES! And that GORGEOUS COVER makes it ideal for cover-art junkies. Includes large lyric insert (two songs) with photos- Cover has a little ringwear and a tiny bit of edgewear with all edges perfectly intact. Record has some light marks but Plays awesome! Awesome piece for collection!
