Description
This is a vinyl pressing of The Mother Of Us All by Steve Baron Quartet on the Tetragrammaton label from 1969. This is a true lost musical gem that really surprised me when I flipped it on. Gorgeous, sensitive SSW songs with psychedelic overtones. It definitely goes into the folk realms & is supposed to be a bit jazzy. I played several songs & I heard one good jazzy guitar run & that was it as far as jazz. I only listened to a handful of songs though. I have to say that I think this is one of those "very special" l.p.'s that you just never hear about. I found it at a very reputable store as Near Mint but for me this copy is EX. EX. A definite keeper though. Below is a review that I found, as well as song titles.
"This is one of those obscure and completely forgotten musical gems recorded and released in the late 1960s, only to disappear from the face of the earth for many years and pop up again recently as one of the thousands of albums frantically reissued by specialist labels. American singer / songwriter Steve Baron created his group called Steve Baron Quartet with a few young Jazz oriented players and recorded this single album after playing with them for about a couple of years. Baron wrote all the songs on the album, which are a strange and beautiful mixture of Folk, Psychedelics and Jazz, as appropriate for the time when everything in music was allowed and possible. Most of the album is song oriented, but on a couple of tracks (and especially the final 11 minutes long track closing the album) long instrumental Jazz improvisations are present, showing the great talent of guitarist Bill Davidson and pianist Tom Winer. It’s very difficult to classify this album genre wise, so for lack of better terms I’ve placed it under Jazz-Rock, but it really is beyond any specific genre, just wonderful. Listening to this obscure gem makes me always wonder how many more such great recordings remain hidden in the past".

Leave me feedback and I will return the courtesy. Delivery confirmation is a must and is worked into the cost of shipping. I accept Paypal only. Gold, precious stones and your first born can be negotiated. If paying by Paypal, payment is expected within 3 days unless other arrangements are made. Insurance will be provided upon request and is to be paid for by the customer. My overseas customers are very important to me and have given me a lot of support. However, I cannot be responsible for uninsured packages. I do pack well and in a professional manner with standard record mailers. I also place a cardboard support inside the mailer for protection and to help prevent any bending. Records are removed from their covers and both are placed in a protective, clear plastic outer sleeve. It's a tried and true method that has never been improved upon. I do offer refunds if the item you won is not as described. I ship every Saturday.
