About this album:   Mega-rare 1973 private label pressing of original music by New Mexico male/female trio Michael Sullivan, Judy Wilcox, and Dennis Wilcox.  Folky psychedelic rock with lush male-female harmonies. Bright and brilliantly textured acoustic guitar work throughout.  Rocks at times, goes into hillbilly/country territory and honest folk at others, with an acid influence that is pervasive yet subtle.  Serious collectors have been swooning over this album for years, and with good reason.  This is pure magic.

Reviews from Rate Your Music:

"Heaped with praise in The Acid Archives, they were totally right. A rare vanity/private press facemelter with NO covers!" "Interesting record, for a few reasons. Total guru-spiritual yogi trip as soft as they come, barefoot, ethereal voices creeping in the edges of your hair, steel guitar used like a thin ray of sunshine gleaming on a cymbal, light splashing around the room. Seemingly bogus seeker lyrics surprise and delight with clichés run backwards and through a crystal pool. It works somehow, that when you think you know what you should hear, you've only heard a shadow of it really, and the truth is clearly ahead in something entirely new and unknown... like breathing air, and forgetting you are doing so. 'Snow On A Mountain' truly is a stunning track, and a desert island pick for the genre -- magical, dark, mid-winter ennui from the depths of the reclusive preoccupied 1970s."

Condition: 

DISC:  Vinyl is NEAR MINT with 100% of original gloss, as clean as can be found.  Possibly unplayed.  Fidelity is superb. 

Condition is all the more critical with records produced during the “flexi-disc era”, and this copy is impeccable.  You may never see another opportunity to acquire this coveted LP in MINT shape.

JACKET:    Jacket is nice VG+ to VG++.  Front artwork is clean and bright.  Nice seams and spine.  Upper right corner has a small but noticeable bend and has started to split at the corner, approximately one-half inch, otherwise jacket would grade VG++ or better.  Reverse is starting to display traces of ring and surface wear against the white background, but is free of any writing, stickers, or other flaws.  Overall a very fine jacket to accompany the stellar disc. 

Labels are clean and pristine, with no spindle trail marks or other evidence of having been played.
