Interest in the music of Ya Ho Wha 13/Father Yod has grown recently, what with the publication a few months ago of the book The Source: The Untold Story of Father Yod, Ya Ho Wa 13 and the Source Family and the release of a documentary film.  Patrick Lundborg had this to say of To the Principles, For the Children, writing in Acid Archives: “The last Yahowha outing with Father Yod in charge, not absolute top level for me but still essential for purveyors of the scene. Yod spells it all out for you on three long cuts with crude acid rock mixed with some quieter moments, and even the Ya Ho Wa family children get to pay tribute to Father on the closing track. Another great sleeve with Yod in full millionaire gear heading for his Rolls on the front and dressed up as Santa Claus on the flip. The family believed that the only thing that attracts people in LA is money, which explains the show-offy nature of these mid-period releases.”  The LP was originally released in 1974, and was only distributed through The Source, the family’s health food restaurant .  This copy is a U.K. reissue on Higher Key from 1994.  The cover and record are both in M-- condition.  The reserve on this item is $49.99.  See my other auctions for their Kohoutek LP.
