Cleveland’s Map City label were open from 1969-73 and if this 1970 uranium funk/psych monstrosity is the only justification of the PURPLE IMAGE's
glories, then no more is needed. Purple Image did only one album and it’s hard to imagine anything they might’ve done to top it.
The septet plays loose on the psych-heavy 6:22 opener “Living in the Ghetto” coming on like an elderly freight train clattering at high speed
through a bandsaw works, brakes futilely screeching as cow-catcher splits the factory boiler. There are four more tracks to the finale, each a uranium-rich soul jam, with
only ‘We Got to Pull Together” expressing standard psychedelic sentiments in heavy-rock manner. Fans of 'Maggot Brain' and the like won't want to miss....
Purple Image bows for all time with “Marching to a Different Drummer,” a hypnotic swayback strut down a big-city avenue through the middle of a vast sunny Weirdness.
About one third through the 15: 28, you’ve followed the sweet one with “her skirt extra high” back to her brownstone, taking her doggie-style as you pass the joint and exchange groans.
This is what life sounds like to free people in an urban cage.
A minor masterpiece, to be sure, and further indication that the Great 1970 Reclamation Project has many years left to run....
It’s clever use of fuzz and wahwah guitar demonstrates a clear Hendrix influence, as does the second side’s final track, Marching To A Different Drummer, a 15-minute guitar jam extravaganza. The overall sound is tight and driving, making for a truly excellent album which also features some really nice cover art

PS: CHECK MY OTHER 2 ITEMS! On Mar-10-11 at 13:46:58 PST, seller added the following information:Hi folks!
In case I was not clear in my description this is an original issue!Not a reissue (I don't know by the way if it was ever re-released on vinyl)
Happy bidding!
I play-graded the record last night on my Project-Xperience turntable and Ortofon Kontrapunkt b cartridge and I was amazed by the sonic experience!
Let me tell you one thing!
The record has no hearing flaws, even at the intervals between songs!I was very conservative when grading the record apparently!
The listening session provided detail, body, atmosphere.I feel very sorry for letting this LP go.
