ULTRA RARE 1971 PRIVAVATE PRESS UNDERGROUND ROCK 2-LP SET!
YEAR ONE
\ USA - PRIVATE PRESS - YO 54327
Very rare ... Original 1971 first pressing PRIVATE PRESS double album by "YEAR ONE" essentially the very same group who released the popular hard psych Lp a year before ('70) when they called themselves "FANTASY" with the female singerLJanene MILLER (aka Jamene Miller), had the popular FM undrground radio track "Stoned Cowboy" and album on Liberty Records ... Little do many collectors know that the Florida band had a second Lp released on a tiny self promoted label, losing the female singer from their Fantasy band and going into a more varied rock & progressive rock direction, changing their name to YEAR ONE.
Very rarely seen, the sprawling 2xLP set with great gatefold custom designed art is sought after by in-the-know universal collectors getting triple $$$ figure prices for less than perfect copies - recently spotted a "VG" condition copy in a collector store for $250 ... here is a top survivor in highly desireable M- condition (see below)
This short-lived YEAR ONE crew produced only this one album and vanished without a trace, but what they created is an effective mix of hard rock, progressive, folk, and psychedelic elements. Overall, it's an enjoyable album with a few rough patches. One of the lead vocalist sounds like Gentle Giant's Derek Shulman; One might go so far as to say this album sounds like what you might imagine if early Uriah Heep got together with Gentle Giant and mixed their sound into one unit. Album highlight tracks include: "E=MC-2" The band uses a combination of reeds and synthesizer to make up one half of this initially bouncy work, but abruptly a gentle acoustic guitar and sweet steel guitar with pleasant vocals takes over... "Morning Lights" Beautiful acoustic guitar and harmonies make for a lovely, folk-prog like listening experience... "Jubilation" starts sparse with only percussion to fill the void at first, soon enough the song becomes more akin to 1960s folk rock, but features some sizzling lead guitar work. Adding variety is a sprightly whirling flute solo.... "Your Love, My Love" Again the acoustic guitar is the main instrument. The vocals range from calm passages to high end-octives but keeps things mostly tranquil thanks to the fluttering woodwind- a highlight performance. ..."Juggle" A swampier feel is made by muffling the guitar and bass and adding some quivering keyboard. If there were a song on this album to really appeal to Gentle Giant fanatics, this would be it.... "Transitory River" opens with soft electric keys, working through mostly major and diminished chords make up this quieter piece. Even though it is soft, it seems to be one of the best tracks on the record, reminiscent of parts of the Gentle Giant album 'Three Friends' ... where as "Flood" features a gritty guitar riff kicking it off, and lays the foundation for woodwinds and bass solos, two instruments that almost seem to be competing with each other. ..."Year One" The title track begins with classic guitar and soft singing. As it adopts a fuller sound, it also introduces a theatric, deep voice similar to "Genetic Control" from Genesis's "Get 'Em Out by Friday." The music ceases for a moment, and then brings in falsetto vocals and raunchy raw reeds and guitar - not at all smooth like other tracks, showcasing the albums varied instrumentations...."We Look Out at You" may remind some of The Who both in sound and structure, but adds texture with a distant organ. The guitar solo works over a steady bass pounding out the same note....then "Rock 'N' Roll Nights" as the name might suggest, is a rock and roll - progressive ELP mixed with hardrocking Blue Oyster Cult but better than any early Blue Oyster Cult track in the same! ... "Above You" Electric piano and acoustic guitar make up the bulk of this short song that includes West Coast like harmonies and some southern rock grit. ...flowing outward with "True My Lord" is an acoustic rock tune sounding a great deal like early Neil Young which would appeal to many....
