BEST COPY ON EBAY AS OF 3-4-2017. Two other copies are sitting at $54 and (sealed) $229. (I know this is considered a rare and collectable LP but I think you shouldn’t have to go hungry in order to buy a copy …. I’m just saying).
Stunning copy of this hard to find psychedelic LP from 1968. Sealed copies always retain their value and almost always increase in value over time. This is one of those LPs.
From the fine Rockasteria web site: “Part of the whole Chicago late-60s psych scene alongside their similarly well-produced Dunwich stablemates H.P. Lovecraft, The Troll released a few near-hit singles before this album. Originally released on Mercury's Smash sublabel, if it's a fine 60s flashback you need, just drop this one on......and you're greeted with fine fuzz and tick-tocking percussion from the start of side one, with "Satin City News". Now, it should be noted that the lyrics here tend toward a political and cynical bent. In amongst the psychedelia, there's a certain darkness on "Animated Music", although nothing that would tend to bum one out.
That same acerbic political tack continues on "Mr. Abernathy", with its classic trem-guitar and poppy horns.. It's not the sound you'd associate with Chicago at all, really...but something more Abbey Road-ish, with tinges of early Floyd here, a dash of Moodies there, and lots of tape spooling around ala Sir George Martin's production methods circa "Sgt. Pepper".
