Wax Treasure (Vinyl)
-
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.”

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.

Bought it as a CD by the time of its release, knowing only the producer Steven Wilson and didn’t know anything about prog metal growls.
Was shocked at first, but this album grew on me over the years @Tago-Mago. -
I normally don't pick up comps when I'm thrift store hunting but I don't have any fahey on my shelves so I grabbed this one
