Extremely rare private folk record assembled by the former leader of Elizabeth (the noted Vanguard label psych band) and friends in a Philadelphia studio. Most tracks have multiple layered guitars, and 8 of the 12 songs have vocals. Listen to the doomy "Darlin' Good Girl," which sounds like the Richard Farina classic "The Bold Marauder" to some ears. If you collect private folk LPs from this era, you'll be hard-pressed to top this one for quality and obscurity. A near-perfect, sun-dappled recording, but there's a darkness amidst the calmness as well. An album as rare as Perry Leopold's Experiment In Metaphysics. Housed in a paper gatefold sleeve, including liner notes and rare photos.
