QUATRAIN – “self-titled” (1969) Tetragrammaton-5002 original WHITE LABEL PROMO pressing Strong VG+/EX (cover/record)

From the AllMusic Guide: “Los Angeles group Quatrain issued an obscure album in 1969 mixing period Southern Californian folk-rock, psychedelic, and hard rock influences, produced and engineered by David Briggs (most famed for his work as producer with Neil Young). Quatrain grew out of the group the Human Jungle, who issued a couple obscure singles while signed to the Double Shot label, though they usually went under the name the Berries. Briggs found the band while they were doing a residency at the Topanga Corral not far north of L.A., and got them a deal with Tetragrammaton Records, where he was a staff producer. In part because Tetragrammaton itself was having problems, Quatrain's self-titled album attracted little notice upon its release in 1969, the band breaking up by the end of the year. Lead guitarist Don Senneville went on to play on two early-'70s albums by Simon Stokes.”

I’ll just add that this is super hard to find and faded immediately after the tiny initial release failed to give the group any traction. Rare and obscure!

This is an original pressing. The gatefold cover has light wear and some writing in black marker on the back cover near the bottom. It’s still nice and tight.There’s also an impressed promo stamp in the back top right corner (see photo). The white label promo vinyl is clean and glossy with only slight sleeve scuffs. A great copy overall. Conservative grading: Strong VG+/EX (cover/record).

Winner pays postage. Domestic U.S. shipping is $4 media rate or $10 for priority mail (insurance additional and quoted at cost). International first class shipping (7-10 day delivery) varies by postal zone. Please see the listing for specific costs.

I package all LPs securely in record mailers and remove the vinyl from the covers to prevent seam splits during mailing. I do not just stick your record in a priority mailer box from the post office or between two thin pieces of cardboard with no additional packaging materials like so many others!!!

I accept Paypal for all transactions and other methods of payment we can discuss - just send me a message.

Thanks for looking, and good luck!
