Description
PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. Because of that dedication, there should be no need to open a resolution dispute before working with us. Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end.

Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable.

Universally HIGHLY desired (real deal) 1975 private pressing, on the Owl label. This is a PSYCH album which is generally regarded as one of the finest heavy acid psych albums of its time. -
-
- ........................................................................................................................................
One reviewer described it thus: 'Side 1 opens and closes with extended, awesome moody psychers which will blow you away.
- Edgar Allan Poe, heroin and Jim Morrison all help shape this One St. Stephen monster, resulting in one of the most distinct late autumnal moods [ever] manifested on vinyl.
- Sensational hall of psych-fame vocals, howling fuzzed guitar leads and occasional use of sci-fi synth-key's effects...early'70s acid-head fashion
Don L. Patterson wrote the music and lyrics, was lead vocalist, played electric guitars, directed and produced the album, yeah, he is - 'One St. Stephen' doing these MONSTER works in March of 1975.
ONE ST STEPHEN was recorded at the legendary Owl Studios (Columbus, Ohio), using the same 8-channel analog recording deck that was used to tape the audio at Woodstock in 1969.- Everyone who heard the LP wanted a copy, yet Don had pressed only a very limited amount by Queen City Record Company (Cincinnati Ohio).
- One St Stephen also designed the album sleeve and label. The response by regional disc jockeys was phenomenal.
................................................................................................................................ -
The ONE ST STEPHEN album got local air-play. - A few months later, Don was offered a recording contract from two major record companies in New York City.
- Don was asked to tour, yet was never interested in the world of rock - so "ONE ST STEPHEN" walked away from his promising music future.
- Since then this album has been sought by record collectors around the world
