Description

Asylum - First And Last (1973)

 

Extremely rare ORIGINAL 1973 press of this sought after psych/folk rock LP out of Viriginia


Recently re-issued by the German World in Sound label.  Not only is it rare, but it is a quality piece of music.  The album is 9-tracks long and features female vocals on most of the tracks.  The songs range from hippie rock to serious piano ballads, very similar to the style of Laura Nyro. 


Here are the liner notes from the re-issue:

"This is an excellent and almost unknown 9- track Hippie album,  privately recorded/ pressed in 1973. The band was found by Fork Union Military Academy school members in Virgina around 1970 -  the music room of the school became their '' refuge''  from the predictable,  regimented military school life... Thus was born the name '' ASYLUM''  -  a place of refuge. Shortly before graduating and after some line up changes the last dollars were saved to make this album. The music in the '' Airplane''  & H.P.Lovecraft vains is true 60´s Westcoast psychedelic,  garage,  folk stuff .The electric cuts such as,  '' I want you every day'' ,  '' Sometimes'' ,  '' I will be free'' ,  Deliverance'' ,  '' Help me be someone''  contain,  combined with male vocals the crystal clear voice of Elaine Lazizza (Cronin),  great guitarwork (electric & acoustic),  excellent drumming & organ. Acoustic tunes sometimes remind of '' Serpent Power''  (David & Tina Meltzer)."


Condition:  VG+ cover/VG+ vinyl.  The cover has some ringwear and general surface wear.  Also note a small stain on the top right corner (see photos).  Vinyl has light surface noise but no skips - plays great.

Serious bidders only.  Reasonable reserve set, this piece has been known to command in the $1,000 USD range.

Shipping:  $5 within US.  International fees vary $15 - 25.

Payment:  Paypal preferred.  Money orders also accepted.
