So I’m not a collector but kind of have an interesting story for people that are interest in late 60s early 70s acid folk.

My dad(ALK) was a hippie musician in the late 60’s early 70’s and thought he was going to be the next Gordon Lightfoot.

He and two other buddies did a one shot recording in 1973(the year I was born) and it’s become a collectors cult classic.

Unfortunately, I only have two album covers and one liner note no idea where the albums are but if you have one of the original 300(my dad does and my aunt)I think they’re going for about $4000. It’s possible there may be an album hidden in another cover at my mom‘s house, but I’ve gone through everything and I can’t find it. There has been some re-issues from Nero’s Neptune in Minneapolis, etc..

At any rate, if you’re into music this story may interest you. You can find the album on YouTube and listen there and some other services I believe…

“On many hardcore psych collectors' Top 10 lists (including one via Patrick Lundborg's Acid Archives book), this insanely rare and impossible-to-describe 1973 brain-fryer from Minneapolis is utterly soaked with mystic, thoroughly-dosed higher key psychedelia -- think Zerfas meets Bobb Trimble, but you're still nowhere near the lysergic laboratory.”

@northsouthdenimguy this sounds right up my alley - I'll see what I can find on streaming platforms

The physical copy is obviousely a little out of my budget.......

@GraemeE

It’s “out” there but would love to know what you think…in my opinion headphones really make a difference when listening to this album.

@GraemeE Great album,I would have liked to cover Bummer in The Summer.

[GraemeE]

@Jett129 love that one.

Hard to find a bad one on the whole album.

Arthur Lee doesn't get the full amount of recognition he deserves in my opinion.

@prpx Nice. My buddy John Bates wrote a big part of that album.

[prpx]

@tody - nice! seems like a very talented guy, i love his work with voodoo dollz as well as annihilator stuff.

[tody]

@prpx he switched styles quite a few times during his career. with his current music, 'americana noir', it's a lot more difficult to get into, and it's not the same crowd pleaser as with two half naked ladies on stage!

After hearing the new ‘The Last Will And Testament’ the last week, I thought it’s time for one of their roots records from 2001.

Harvest, an Opeth song without growls…
