ZYLAN - RAINBOWS, DREAMS & FANTASIES, Canadian COLUMBIA ES-90235. 197?

ORIGINAL Canadian ISSUE with unipak G/F Sleeve.

Obscure Canadian Psych/Prog with Folk, Blues Rock & Jazzy touches....which is a totally undiscovered gem...I don't know where this has been for the last 35+ years....absolutely top notch mixture of Psych/Prog/Blues Rock with great male/female vocals as well as some brilliant songs & musicianship .....

There are numerous highlights as 'New Day', 'Been So Long', 'Back To The Country', 'One Life', 'Back To Yesterday' & 'Get On Down' are all great tracks with lots of inventive music and wonderful vocals plus some excellent guitarwork but there are also a couple of more mellower folk/psych/prog gems in 'Dreams And Fancies' & 'No Need' which are superb. Perhaps the weakest track is the opening 'Darlin'' which is still decent and actually was a minor hit. The album features some horns but even these work really well as they are not overpowering and complement the music perfectly.

Now one of the rarest and most sought after of all Columbia LPs....it didn't get a release in the US. The only copy on gemm is $100 and from a decent seller.

Condition is EX/EX (cover/record), cover has a cutout hole.
