Description
Rare 1969 original on '360 Sound' labels. This LP was long rumored to be Columbia's poorest selling 1960s rock title, having only sold a few hundred copies back in 1969 and then being very quickly deleted. This is PROMO copy of this already ridiculously rare lp. I purchased this from a collection of lp's from a Folk Radio Station years back. From what I see the only difference is they did not paste the back on the jacket ( See Picture ). Everything else is the same. Correct me if I am wrong. The Jacket is Ex++/NM and the Vinyl is EX+++++/NM, in original sleeve. Music is basically Spence's acid-fried take on prewar country blues mixed with spacey psychedelia. Spence somehow got a one-album solo deal from Columbia and the LP was recorded quickly at Columbia's Nashville studios following Skippy's cross-country motorcycle ride from SF, where Spence had returned after being kicked out of Moby Grape and / or being briefly locked up in Bellvue in NYC in late 1968 after supposedly threatening Don Stevenson with a fire ax. (Moby Grape had been ensconced in a Manhattan hotel, with fire axes aplenty I'm sure, for recording sessions at Columbia's NYC studios). Shipping is 4 dollars in the US and 14 for Worldwide Shipping. Questions? Please ask.
