Ultimate 60’s Acid/Psych Masterpiece LP from Texas !

Austin band with an obvious 'Elevators influence recorded this amazing psychedelic demo LP in '70. There's no hints of prog or hard rock on this beast though, just 100% psychedelia. Truly inspired original and uncompromising stuff, it actually sounds like the logical next step after Easter Everywhere and Bull Of The Woods - great Texas desert psych! Most songs are long and winding, full of echoey fuzz, Roky-inspired vocals, autoharp and some harmonica. It never gets into boring hippie jams though. It's more like entering a state of mind than listening to a regular album. The lyrics are also some of the best I've ever heard, managing to be totally strange/psychedelic without getting the least pretentious. Not only the best Rockadelic release, but possibly one of the best and most important psych reissues ever. Roky's first backing band, Bleibalien, were essentially made up of members from Cold Sun. Fantastic LP!

Record Collector Grading System

MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.

FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump.
The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.

POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
