FREEBOURNE
Peak Impressions
USA - MONITOR - MPS (C) 607
Keeeper copy
The real deal, always wished for (a want list staple) but seldom found - here is a solid copy that should provide as an immense enjoyable addition to any serious collection ... 1968 first printing, a local Massachusetts issue probably sold at group concerts and select music outlets, never a heavy distributed item hence the mighty-rarity ...
Thee Boston psychedelic group FREEBOURNE is full of outstanding developed melodic self compositions accompanied by acidy guitar leads and drifting keyboards with stoned vocals all adding up to a superb underground album, aptly titled "Peak Impressions".
'Peak Impressions' is an authentic psychedelic effort, suitable for fans of early Pink Floyd, C.A. Quintet, The Doors, and Arthur Lee's Love "Forever Changes." , etc.
One word to serious collectors:::: Essential !
This "monster-rated" & extremely rare LP is one of those superb laid-back kind of authentic psych gems that overflows with ideas and experimentation, drenched in charming sensibilities while at the same time remaining with an ostensibly low budget. It’s not showy or self-conscious, it just has a pure and pleasant trippy vibe that makes great use of keyboards - inc. harpsichord , recorder , chimes and arrangement ideas trying new forms and succeeding !
Aficionados of 1960s psychedelic rock recognize the Freeborne’s 1968 album Peak Impressions as one of the best and most collectable records in the genre. Formed in 1966 as an offshoot of two Boston-area garage bands (The Missing Links and the Indigos), the Freeborne have remained something of an enigma; avoiding both the limelight and the eventual stigma associated with the “Bosstown” fad. Their eclectic musical vision, which incorporates complex musical textures, sophisticated composition, creative studio effects, elements of jazz tinges, rock, blues, and free-form sounds, all create a truly ambitious period piece from the turbulent day-glow Sixties.
Original copies of Freebourne while hedging on the level of collectibles like that of C.A. Quintet, have become few and far available; sought demand is soaring the item through the $$$ roof in collector circles. Pretty strong bet that the value will continue to spiral upward. Decent price here, with all things considered, so there is plenty of room to move up, up and away...

CONDITION: The cover: is in great "EX" (excellent) shape with just some very minimal prior visual use (see pics)...That black group back photo is near impossible to find without wear, this copy just a touch of wear beginning. Overall we'd keep in a second if we didn't already own a copy. Bottom line: try finding another copy of this 1968 mega-rarity in this top condition.... no delete marks, no split seams, no bends, and no writing ...
The vinyl: Rated: near M- loads of smooth shine, nothing more than a visual soft hair scuff within side one that no way affects the excellent audio ... consider a top copy, would be quite difficult to find a better copy ... As pics show, both Monitor labels are clean
A cool addition to anyone's music library!
