Description
This MEGA-RARE vinyl relic is a top-nick production and recording gem. It's a communal effort fronted by now nationally acclaimed Native American artist Rick Bartow.
Obviously from his younger hippie days the project includes 28 musicians, touching a variety of genres, blues, psych, rural country, folk and rock. An array of voices and instruments back Rick and his signature National Steel guitar and accomplished vocals. Some songs are visited by electric leads by James Thornbury of Canned Heat fame, or some angry double bass by Bill Stiffler. Every one of the eleven track are up spirited, never boring or repetitious. It's a good mood record, no matter what your musical tastes are. The numorous contributors must have had fun making this and again, the recording and production are top-nick and the rural gathering feeling is contagious. Pressed by the small private label Generation Records, I would be surprised if another could be found today, especially in perfect condition. Maybe a few hundred were pressed, if that many.

RECORD GRADING
SS - Still sealed in shrink. I cannot guaranteed what is inside since I have no way of knowing. Most likely it is in the condition when it left the factory.
NM - Near Mint - The record may have been played but seems brand new. It retains full gloss and has NO SURFACE MARKS. It has clean labels and should play like a new record. Covers have no marks or writing, crisp corners and no splits or damage. Often it may still be in shrink wrap.
EX - The disk has been properly cared for, has NO marks worthy of addressing, nice gloss, clean labels and should play without surface noise. Covers are generally crisp showing only the lightest of storage wear and shrink is usually gone. No writing, splits or damage. If it is 40 or 50 years old, there is no denying that is in EXCELLENT condition and a worthy collector quality.
VG+ - Very good, PLUS, it is amazing that this records made it through the years and is still in great shape. The disk may have light surface marks, that you may need proper lighting to see. NO scratches that affect play, any surface noise could only be audible between track is any at all. Labels and covers may have normal age and storage wear, but it was obviously well-kept. Any minor damage issues will be addressed in the listing, as well as writing, punch holes. A VG+ item is a sweet original that is meant to be played and enjoyed, and the package is still solid.
VG My VG grading means VERY GOOD, not 'an old used record'. It may have visible surface marks and lines but the grooves are NOT worn and it still has gloss. It may have some light tics and occasional ambient surface sound but nothing that repeats or competes to be noticed. Face it. It the way most records are. This one is very good. There may be light label and spindle marks or writing. It's a very good old record. The cover may have minor splits, writing, creases or light stains that could be called 'normal wear' and is still cleanable, reparable and still solid enough to be called a 'very good' old cover. I prefer having my customers think my grading is 'very good'.
This is where I stop unless the record is extremely rare. I don't want any old noisy records or shabby covers being associated with my name. Hopefully, any record I sell will be a pleasure to listen to.
