MINTY CLEAN .... STILL IN ORIGINAL FACTORY SHRINK WRAPPER

In THICK silver foil gatefold cover, a 2xLp set ...

*** Includes the three photo/psych drawings inserts that are still sealed in original plastic

The March 17, 1969 release is harder to find in this format than you might imagine...First of all 40+ year old silver foil covers show scuffs and marks very easily = this one is real clean top copy from 1969....

Freedom Suite was an ambitious effort and something of a concept album, as musicians were wont to produce at the time. Packaging included a shiny silver gatefold album cover, colored sleeves with the song lyrics printed on them, and illustrations drawn by members of the group. The latter varied from idealistic visions of trumpeting angels to Eastern-influenced sketchings to drummer Dino Danelli's faithful homage to El Greco's Christ. The inclusion of the lengthy group jams - one polished track ("Adrian's Birthday"), the other jam session ("Cute"), and a Danelli percussion experience ("Boom") - seemed an effort by The Rascals to establish themselves as an "album" group rather than a "singles" group.
