Metromedia Records – MD 1007
1969 US Issue
Gatefold Cover, White Label Promo (WLP*)
Condition - Cover: EX-. Vinyl: NM (appears unplayed)
During the late sixties, the duo of Roland Antonelli and Joseph Ransohoff, known as Milkwood Tapestry, was a mainstay on the New York City rock circuit. Their musical style equally looked to British Isle folk bands such as Fairport Convention and The Incredible String Band, as well as acid rock bands like the Jefferson Airplane and Jethro Tull.They somehow successfully pulled off an intriguing balance between the two diametrically opposed styles.At one of their Greenwich Village performances, they met Donovan's manager who in turn arranged for an audition for the pair before a group of Metromedia record executives.
They were signed on the spot and by 1969, Antonelli and Ransohoff had entered the studio to record the progressive lp simply tited Milkwood Tapestry. This was their only release complete with it's flourishes of medieval minstrel hippie instrumentation and Elizabethian era Baroque lyricism, adding to a patina of delightful guilelessness, rustic charm, and a certain childlike whimsy. Sometimes the music takes a harder edge, with psychedelic overtones, fuzz guitar solos, acidic ebbs and flows, dark turns of melody, and wildly manic vocals from Ransohoff.
"Beyond The Twelve Mile Zone" and "Signs Of The Invisible Chalk" are prime examples, rising to and then retreating from electric crescendos before frantically bubbling again just before dramatic halts. "Journey-Less Ride" is also an excursion into exceedingly trippy territory, while "The Window Sill's Song" is positively Left Banke caliber in it's stateliness and mod pop flower power overtones. The rest has a certain heady, swilrling quality that makes consistently wonderful listening

* regarding WLP (White Label Promo) Generally promo copies of LPs were the first made from the stampers and in some cases were made using higher quality vinyl than the commercial pressings. The designation WLP the label may or may not be white, but will somewhere say promotional copy printed on the label.
(this was phased out in the '80's and promos while still being earliest pressings used stock labels and had some kind of marking or gold stamp on the cover.)
