a very obscure privately pressed vinyl lp record
that is a communal hippie college project effort recorded
at Normandy Sound Studios in Warren, Rhode Island by
a large entourage of guys and chicks & LPs in this series are

Psychedelic collaborative collective group out of

CLOSELY WATCHED TRAINS
and RIGHT OF LITTLE REST

these sorts of private press records are really
obscure and were made in extremely small quantity
thought to be limited to be just 200 copies

great creative songs, sounds and recordings
done by college kids, hanging out having fun coming
up with music influenced by the times with sub-culture
underground Acid Basement feel with an occasional tribal
happening feel with elements of free jazz & prog plus
there are a few songs with a harder edge possibly
influenced by US Punk like Lou Reed and Patti Smith
Elvis Costello and Television


~ privately pressed ~


there was a time
when vinyl was the preferred format
for releasing records & many musicians would release and
distribute their own recordings when they couldn't find a
label to release their recordings & these types of DIY records
are referred to as "privately pressed" by today's collectors
and are now hard-to-find & sought after because they were
almost always made in extremely small quantities as artistic
or craft-based endeavors rather than purely commercial
ventures with no attempt at cashing it in commercially often
making for interesting & innovative DIY recordings that are
more honest, experimental and unusual than commercial
releases & many "private press" records have never been
'discovered' by today's listeners making them important
to collectors of many different recorded genres
