  • DESCRIPTION: Hmmm. Not sure what this is. I’ve looked all over the web and came up with zilch. Anyway, what I do know is it’s a very cool and rare private/DIY folk-rock LP with acoustic folk-psych auras. Echoey, pensive and moody, with a beautiful mellow vibe. Features some really nice female lead vocals (by Nita Hughes, who I believe is now a published novelist, and whose photo may be gracing the album cover!).

    Here’s where things get a little vague. Back cover (which features that gorgeous photo of an Oregon beach) says it’s pressed by M.V Sullivan Publishing from Atlanta. The liner notes are by Matt Sullivan (no doubt M.V. Sullivan himself), which says he’s the composer and suggests he’s the guitarist on the album. It also says that he composed two songs for his "movie" after being taught to play the guitar in Dallas in 1960; then traveled extensively for a decade, and after another few years, completed the project, adding at the end: "If you like the music, you’ll like my movie". And since the song titles read like a movie score, I’d say this is some kind of a soundtrack. The "Main Theme" is a song called "Journey To The Sun" - so I figured that’s the name of the film. Well, there IS a film by that title that shows up on web searches, but it’s from 2001 and clearly has nothing to do with this project (which was completed in 1975). So maybe this is a soundtrack to a film that was never made? Or never distributed? Or is so obscure that it just doesn’t show up on the web? Your guess is as good as mine…

CONDITION: (See GRADING GUIDELINES below for further details)

  • VINYL: VG++
  • COVER: VG+

LP GRADING GUIDELINES    

  • NOTE: All LPs are professionally cleaned using the VPI HW-17 RECORD CLEANING SYSTEM and carefully inspected under a grading lamp with 120-watt bulb.

    • Guidelines reflect TYPICAL factors determining grade - variations are noted in the description
    • Please note: I DO NOT USE EXCELLENT (EX) as a grade.
    • Flaws for ALL covers graded below VG+ are noted in the description.
    • I rarely use grades below VG, and all vinyl graded VG or less is appropriately spot play-graded to assure sound quality.
    • Grades below G are not listed, as I typically do not sell merchandise in such condition.
    • Intermediate grades (e.g., NM-, VG/VG+, VG++) are used, as applicable.

    • MINT: Factory Sealed; cover virtually flawless

    • NM+ (Near Mint Plus) - Factory sealed with minor cover flaws, OR an otherwise mint LP recently opened by me and played in spots for demonstration purposes

    • NM (Near Mint) - vinyl, cover and labels nearly flawless

    • VG+ (Very Good Plus) - what many refer to as "excellent"; pretty close to NM. Full or nearly full-gloss vinyl with a few minor surface or sleeve marks; possibly one or a couple small, light scuffs or scratches (if basically inaudible) on an otherwise NM piece. Expect only slight surface noise in spots. Cover has slight general wear and/or aging, OR minimal wear/aging and a couple of minor flaws (noted as applicable in the description)

    • VG (Very Good) - Vinyl still very shiny, has a few light scuffs, sleeve marks and hairline or small light scratches. Expect only slight surface noise in spots

    • VG- (Very Good Minus) - Vinyl typically still shiny or very shiny (may be slight groovewear), has a few light scuffs, surface marks and/or small scratches, plus some sleeve marks and hairline scratches. Expect slight surface noise that's noticeable but NOT overwhelming.

    • G (Good) - Vinyl typically still shiny (sometimes very shiny; may be slight groovewear), has some scuffs and some surface marks, generally a few or some light scratches, plus lots of sleeve marks and hairline scratches. Expect some surface noise throughout that's noticeable but NOT overwhelming - NO skips, sticks, heavy scuffs, deep scratches, excessive noise, or loud pops or clicks (unless noted in description)
