Here is SEALED copy of John Phillp's first solo Album

 John, the Wolf King of L.A. on Dunhill Warlock DS 5077 stereo  from 1970. The album was not commercially successful..it shows an inclination towards not intentionally being a  commercial project although it did include the minor hit "Mississippi" …Hostory has amplified it's importance as an underground classic….….

John Phillips was one of the unheralded heroes of the American Hippie Revolution. To our ears, this album remains one of the most wonderful, long-lost relics of the 1960's (although the album was actually released in 1970). After Mamas and Papas disintegrated, John Phillips relegated himself to a drug-induced oblivion, but not before recording this great West Coast/soft psych/trippy Folk album. This moody, brooding masterpiece is a testimony to his fantastic songwriter skills and mesmerizing vocal. The songs are - literally - one minor masterpiece after another, joys of utter simplicity and lack of adornment, and the musicians are the envy of Los Angeles. Practically the entire Phil Spector's "Wall of Sound" orchestra is here, down to Darlene Love on backing vocals!!!. And that is not all. Three out of five of the best American pedal-steel guitar players appear on the list of musicians: James Burton (played with Elvis Presley, Emmylou Harris, Gram Parsons), Buddy Emmons (played for practically everyone) and OJ "Red" Rhodes (Mike Nesmith, Monkeys, etc). And then there are others: Hal Blaine, Drums - Larry Knechtel - Keyboards and many, many others. The final result is a gentle, but ominously bluesy album on which John's deep, expressive voice cascades over intricate musical patterns like a proverbial waterfall. The album was quickly withdrawn from commercial circulation upon release - whether because John was not happy with it, or because it did not sell, and it has been unavailable in any decent format for decades.The songs are: April Anne - Down the Beach - Drum - Holland Tunnel - Let it bleed, Genevieve - Malibu People - Mississippi - Someone's sleeping - The Mermaid (mistitled on some foreign releases) - Topanga. A must for any West Coast 60's music aficionado.

For its extraordinary contribution to the modern music, superb production, craftsmanship, fine musicianship, revolutionary significance and influence it exerted on numerous generations of musicians, writers and general public, this album was voted one of top-200 albums of all time in one of the largest poll of critics, music reviewers, professionals and producers ever organized: the poll, which was conducted by Paul Gambaccini, legendary BBC Radio A&R man, surveyed more than 50 top music professionals (including Roy Carr, Jonathan Cott, Robert Christgau, Cameron Crowe, Chet Flippo, Ben Fong-Torres, Charlie Gillett, Greil Marcus, Murray the K., Lenny Kaye, Bruce Morrow (a/k/a "Cousin Brucie"), Tim Rice (of "Jesus Christ Superstar" and "Evita" fame), Lisa Robinson, Robert Shelton (who wrote liner notes for Bob Dylan's first album), Ed Ward, Joel Whitburn, Pete Wingfield, etc.).

Larry/Paulette Bios

------------------------------------------------------------

Larry Brill is a jazz aficionado and a madman collector who has researched and purchased thousands of vinyl discs over several decades. His love of jazz began at Far Rockaway High School, where he was influenced by his English teacher, Harry Colomby, who led a double life, molding teenage minds by day and managing the great Thelonious Monk by night. With Colomby as mentor, Brill frequented the legendary Five Spot, soaking up the sounds of Monk, Coltrane, Rollins, Griffin, Young, Kirk and Coleman. His own artwork graced the club's walls (Brill is now a successful graphic designer and president of his own design firm, B&W Creative Group.) Later. his jazz haunts included the Jazz Gallery, the Vanguard, and the Half Note, where he became acquainted with Tristano, Konitz and Marsh. Today Brill concentrates on his massive art collection, and is featured in a new book, "The Art of Collecting" by Diane McJanus Jensen, along with fellow collectors David Rockefeller and Alan Dershowitz. He is married to Paulette Weiss, and their combined collections total 25,000 discs. He parts with his vinyl with great reluctance, and hopes that all those jazz instrumentals, vocals, soundtracks, celebrity discs and rarities wind up with collectors who love them as he did.

Paulette Weiss was Popular Music Editor of Stereo Review magazine and a Certified Audio Consultant for over a decade. She is still in possession of the Dynaco receiver she built from a kit when she was just a pup. For many years, Weiss provided an annual analysis of the year's events in popular music and audio technology for the Encyclopedia Americana and was a contributing editor with Audio magazine. She survived the disco era by chronicling the club scene and its music for the New York Post. Weiss witnessed the birth of cassettes, MTV, video discs and the CD. Over two decades, thousands of vinyl LPs crossed her desk. Along with current albums for review came rare promotional discs and posters, picture discs, original master recordings and many recordings never made available to the general public. Genres include rock, pop, jazz, and spoken word. With her passionate love of the music and hoarder's nature, she collected thousands of these. Many are unplayed and still in their original shrink wrap, others gently spun and lovingly preserved. She is married to Larry Brill, and their combined collections total 25,000 discs.
