RARE ... highly sought after (similar copy recently sold for $200 !) original 1971 first pressingsold for $200 !) in the old fragile unipak gatefold cover...with vinyl in TOP minty condition....

Judee Sill was a unique and compelling singer and songwriter. She was the very first artist signed to David Geffen's Asylum label, she released two albums, then worked briefly as a cartoonist before dying of drug abuse in 1979. This, her first album includes Backing musicians include John Beck and Jim Pons from The Leaves.

Sill had played piano since her childhood, and honed her skills at reform school in the early 1960s where she was sent for forging checks. After a drugs bust, Sill spent time in jail where she kicked her heroin addiction and made a promise to pursue a songwriting career.

The songs that appear on this Judee Sill album were mostly composed from 1969-71. In 1969, Sill was hired by The Turtles to write songs for $35 a week for their publishing company, Blimp Music. The earliest of these are "Lady-O," which was recorded by the band.

Her guitar playing provides the foundation for most of the songs, exemplified by the breezy "Laurel Canyon Sound" of the early '70s. "Jesus Was A Cross Maker," built on a bed of Sill's gospel-flavored piano, was produced by Graham Nash and crafted as a single. Rich with cosmic imagery and ambiguously spiritual lyrics, the songs on Judee Sill often blur the line between the earthly and the divine. Sill's own brand of cosmological imagery make their point. There is a cohesive feel to all of the album; her lyrics are exceptionally poetic (to the point of being almost flowery) and her voice is smooth enough to bear heavy overdubbing with itself, giving every song a shimmery feel. The essence of the music is folk, the execution pop: the songs feel like a comfort blanket, a statement of hope from a troubled soul.
