Description
Boa Constrictor and Natural Vine were a psych-folk duo who recorded this, their sole record, for Vanguard Apostolic.Given the current vogue for acid-folk I'm suprised this one is not better known. It has all the elements one looks for in that genre and few others as well. There are some really deranged, acid-drenched compositions like Devil & the Ace of Spades (with its backward tape loops, mornful sax, and downer guitar strumming) as well as dissonant, freaky, rocking, blues numbers like Time is Money. Their music, while it owes something to other folk-experimentalists from the late 60s is also inspired by classic, country blues and at times they come off as a sort of hippie ancestor of garage-blues-rock duos like the Bassholes or Black Keys. Legend has this LP sold all of 26 copies when it came out. This is not a promo copy (no sticker on front cover). This is one rare LP.
Record is VG++ to EX, just a few hairline scuffs. Sleeve is VG+, right bottom corner bump, a bit of wear on upper left corner.
If you successfully bid on more than one item, let me know so I can send and invoice with combined shipping cost. I prefer sending my parcels with a tracking number, but should you decide to pick the less expensive options, I can do that as well. But once the parcel has been dropped off at the post office, I can't be held responsible if you don't receive it. Too many people play that game. All the parcels I've shipped so far have made it to their intended purchasers. Thanks for watching.
