Description

SUPERFINE DANDELION 's/t' LP (US, Mainstream, Catalogue #S/6102) Brand new/unplayed copy of limited LP re-edition (180-gram pressing) of rare 1968 Mainstream label album by The Superfine Dandelion.

'This is generally seen as one of the lesser Mainstreams, and while it's not especially original or unusual, it's better than its reputation. Mostly this band comes from a 1965-era Beatles vantage point with a littel folk-rock mixed in. The rhythm guitars are acoustic and the lead guitars electric. Lyrics range from mild social commentary to silly love songs to folk-style murder ballads. The songs are as blatently derivative as, say, Blue Things, with one completely ripping off the Beatles' "I'm A Loser", and another stealing the flute solo from the Moody Blues "Nights In White Satin". These thefts aside, all songs are originals, unusual for this type of album. Side two is stronger than side one, ending with the album's three best songs. "Don't Try To Call Me" is a terrific pop song, "The Other Sidewalk" is the album's one psychedelic tune, and "What's The Hurry" is a pretty folk-rocker. Overall, this album is quite enjoyable. Kazoo haters beware of "It's Raining", however. The LP was also released in France on Vogue with an altered cover, and the band had a pre-LP 45 on a local label.' - Acid Archives
