Description
Artist: BEACON STREET UNION
Title: “The Clown Died in Marvin Gardens"
Label: MGM ~ # SE-4568. Stereo pressing.
Year: 1968
Condition: Album is STILL SEALED in original factory shrink wrap. Shrink wrap is clean and bright. Corners have been lightly bumped. Has a cut-out punch hole at the bottom left corner. A stellar copy for the archives.
NOTE: This disc came from the extensive personal collection of the former owner of a chain of retail music stores who retired from the business in the early 80’s. The albums have been stored virtually untouched and unplayed since that time in a climate controlled, non-smoking environment. I will be selling many investment grade colored vinyl LPs, promos, sealed LPs, and other rare collector items from the collection over the coming months. If you desire MINT albums, you will not be disappointed.

- The Clown’s Overture

Review:
“The Clown Died in Marvin Gardens is an original statement by a Boston group who was musically superior to Eden's Children and Ultimate Spinach, but not as focused as the Remains, the Hallucinations with Peter Wolf, or the emerging J. Geils Band. Where national groups like the Peanut Butter Conspiracy may have been misguided and sputtered with no direction, vocalist John Lincoln Wright developed into a first-rate songwriter and a country singer with a purpose. Hearing his work on highly experimental tunes, like the title track or the impressionistic "May I Light Your Cigarette?," is true culture shock. "The Clown's Overture" seems pointless, yet "Angus of Aberdeen" is inspired and a bright spot in the morass that was the Bosstown Sound. The rave-up version of "Blue Suede Shoes" is great, the guitar funneled through effects and brimming with excitement..”
