Bobb Trimble -- Harvest of Dreams LP
Original 1982 private pressing (no record label info or matrix # on cover, which reads ©1980-1981-1982; deadwax reads "BOBB - F/W-21187"). I purchased it still factory sealed and opened it to check the vinyl.This is an authentic copy of one of the rarest and most sought-after DIY acid folk/real-people psych LPs, the second self-released LP from the great acid hope of Worcester Mass., Mr. Bobb Trimble.
Join Bobb & The Kidds from Wormtown and "confront the Opposition of Indifference with the Spirit of Totality."
"Rated by most as the best psych LP of the 1980s. One of those obscurities (like DR Hooker) that blows even non-collectors away. Rooted in a '67-68 "Strawberry Fields"-type deep acid psych sound with tapestries of acoustic guitars, multilayered vocals and halfburied sound effects, the total impact is like walking around in one of Bobb's dreams. Melancholic, moving but also hopeful - an essential experience." -- The Lama, from "The Lama Reviews" [ http://www.lysergia.com/AcidArchives/lamaArchive4.htm ]"...an utterly essential piece of modern psychedelia, bridging the 60s with the 80s without falling into the production traps of either era. In the 00s, it still sounds like nothing else, and it's bound to sound equally good in the 20s, the 40s, and beyond." ... "Behind the actual music being played is usually a shifting mosaic of electronics, weird noises, voices from the aether, telephones, and other sounds. Though I'd imagine that the songs would be amazing in stripped down Bobb & guitar solo style, it's the intricate strange production that sends the music into the stratosphere. Every instrument and sound has nuances - lots of echo, backwards reverb, compression, flange, ad infinitum - studio tricks and experiments that move it out of this world. What sets Bobb apart is that all the over-the-top acid embellishments are restrained to perfect service of the song at hand, where they could otherwise easily turn into overburdening noise and mush." -- weirdsville [ http://www.weirdsville.com/featured7.html ]
"It's a very rare experience to be sucked into such an honest and fragile universe as Bobb Trimble's. A space of its own, a musical experience on the other side of what people usually define as proper behaviour. Psychedelic folk, real-people music, religious visions, it's hard to label Bobb's music." -- Alie, psychedelic-music [ http://www.psychedelic-music.de/pmdb/db3/db_band.php4?id=479 ]

Another Lonely Angel: A Confrontation Between Bobb and The Devil in liviing stereo a note on origin: I purchased this Bobb Trimble LP many years ago from a Worcester-area college radio station which was liquidating its record library. This station had a large collection of rare early 80's independent punk, new wave, and garage LPs; either Bobb Trimble sent this to the station as a promo, or their music director purchased it locally for the library. It was never even opened, and remained still sealed in their collection. This is a guaranteed authentic copy, not a repress or fake.MINT-/MINT- condition -- this was still factory sealed and I opened it just to check it -- vinyl is pristine, with just the slightest bit of paper scuffing; cover has no clips, cuts or marks; strong edges and corners; there are two small roughly circular holes in the shrinkwrap towards the bottom edge (not at the seam) and a tiny amount of wear to the cover where the shrinkwrap has peeled away. Graded conservatively using Goldmine standards [G / G+ / VG / VG+ / NM / MINT] -- MINT grade only used if record is brand new.
