(Lucky Boy SP-3-27-79) Cover near MINT (still in shrinkwrap but not sealed). You'll usually find the mostly white color riddled with wear and discoloration. Not this one! Vinyl NM near MINT. Labels both mint. Insert included. It is in excellent condition but has one corner bend/crease.
I'd be shocked to discover than the guys in REM didn't grow up idolizing this band. This is the original blueprint for the much-heralded 80s Athens scene. It's not a psych or prog (long instrumental notwithstanding) album as dealers hype it, but an ahead-of-its-time guitar pop album with outstanding playing, clever songwriting, and a touch of mystery. The title track is a killer-two overlapping melodies of equal beauty and an elaborate acoustic/electric/synth arrangement that gives way to a transcendent guitar solo. Nothing else on the album can match this amazing first song, but there's plenty to like, from the flange-heavy guitar on "Just Sail Around" to the surprising and weird metal-inspired bits in "From The Diary of H.R.H. 1975." Smart songwriting, thoughtful arrangements and excellent singing abound. They had so many great melodies that three songs actually double them up (one sung over, behind, or between the other.) A 10-minute mildly jazzy instrumental at the end manages not to ruin everything. This is a great album. Along with Arrogance's "Prolepsis", it's the 70s pinnacle of the new Southern Rock (i.e: made by guys you would actually let your daughter date) that would explode almost a decade later.
