C.A. QUINTET 'Trip Thru Hell' LP (US, Sundazed, Catalogue #LP 5510) Brand new/unplayed copy of limited Sundazed label LP edition of EXTREMLY RARE 1969 ALL-TIME PSYCH ROCK MASTERPIECE LP by Minneapolis, Minnesota band the C.A. Quintet.
(NOTE: LIMITED VINYL EDITION!)
The C.A. Quintet's journey to Hades burned hot enough to melt the ice in their frigid Minnesota environs. A coveted collectable since the psychedelic record collecting disaster whirl first started over 30 years ago, Trip Thru Hell (1968) is rightly regarded as the epitome of local psych-cum-garage rising above its humble roots into something truly monolithic.
Evolving from the local circuit into a hellish beast of keyboards, lysergic lyrics, trippy guitars and even subtle trumpet parts, the C.A. Quintet's vision of the netherworld glowed in flaming orange, red and yellow as their instincts took over. Kicking off with the chilling psychedelicized keyboard-led instrumental title track, the album singes the psyche of the listener with an array of atmospheric beelzefuzz on Colorado Mourning, sitar-like solos intertwining with fuzz and horns on Underground Music, and the more benevolent Lucifer on Smooth As Silk, which swirls with keys and harmony vocals to underscore a brilliant melody. Mortals dare not venture to the sinister realm of the Cold Spider and especially not Sleepy Hollow Lane, a mistier place than even the Chocolate Watchband could dream of visiting.
As the first label to give this distinguished work the treatment it deserved 20 years ago, Sundazed returns with this gold vinyl reissue reproducing all of the original artwork and ensuring the authentic analog sound of psychedelia.
"Ah yes, the Trip, and LP so packed with talent and originality it alone justifies the existence of the underground record collector circuit, who pulled this old Twin Cities head fave out of obscurity and turned it into a world-famous psychedelic Grail several decades ago. Today it stands as one of the few local '60s albums to cross over into mainstream rock awareness, its various reissues having sold at least 10,000 copies over the years. Most people reading this already know Ken Erwin's conceptual psych classic, so suffice it to say that it sounds like nothing done before and hardly ever since; a strongly cinematic exploration of weird and often unpleasant mental spaces, using only standard rock instruments -- and surprising trumpet -- to get there." - Patrick Lundborg/Acid Archives
