Really nice copy of this rare Project 3 lp(pr5072 sd)! White label gatefold original from 1972! Really diverse and unusual record that we've never had a copy of...Project 3 was a killer label! Side one seams to be a little off-center but still plays fine on our player. it seems that some copies of this album are like that....here's the Acid Archive take on it:
This is the kind of record that has collectors tearing their hair out. It has that most horrible combination of traits: 1) it’s scarce and has not been reissued, 2) it’s very, very good and 3) every known copy of the album is mispressed, which means that even if you find a copy of the damn thing, you won’t get to listen to it the way it was actually recorded. Two distinct problems exist: copies where side two is pressed on both sides of the album, and more commonly, copies where side one is pressed so badly off-center that the entire side sounds like it has a huge warp. As to the music within, it’s a fascinating blend of soft pop, folky psych and early prog. Some of the song structures and keyboard arrangements are certainly progressive, but this is one prog album that will appeal just as much to psych and pop fans, as the songs are brief and highly melodic. There’s experimentation here, but no excess. In fact, the proggiest songs give the album a nice lift, and the two best, “To A Dreamer” and “He Could Have Known,” really rock out. A few songs have clear Zombies and Beatles influences, while others remind the listener that Project 3 is the label of the Free Design. All are memorable and creatively composed. This is a great record. They evoke bands like Zerfas, who sound 70s but in a way that brings the best 60s music into the era. Now, please, somebody do a master tapes reissue! Some members were formerly with Rock Island, who also had an LP on Project 3. [AM]
