Straywinds-Gene F. Steiker & Larry S. Chengges
This is an ultra rare, and super weird private press poetry/spoken word over music LP from Michigan in the 70's. If you are looking at this auction I assume you already know what this is. Here is a little blurb about it from a psych blog
"Two guys in a cavernous and empty auditorium (the natural echo here is phenomenal). One plays acoustic piano, the main instrument, the other some percussion and some clean electric guitar, very quietly. This is, in fact, a seriously quiet record. There are a few vocal parts that are sung, but the majority of this is spoken poetry with piano accompaniment. There is a naiveté and innocence here that I think is a common thread in my private stash of keeper records. This is as fragile a record as may have ever managed to get itself pressed and issued into the world. While the first side is heavily echoed vocals over sparse instrumentation (on tracks like "In Green Pastures" "Some Old Town" My Dreams, My Love"), the second side opens with "Beyond Forgetting." A distorted and electronically effected vocal shouts over an electric piano and acoustic guitar bed. Still subdued but otherworldly and impossibly strange; I have never played this for someone and not had to scrape their jaw off the carpet. Like most of our secret records, this comes with the added knowledge that this will be reissued only after everything else is and so it will remain that little treasure just for us.Certainly not for everyone, and perhaps more a relic from the psychedelic age than psychedelic itself!"
LP is EX to EX+ with a few light marks and some label wear (see photos). great original gloss. Cover is VG+ due to some age staining
