TLMC "Godlight" Private Press LP Canadian Xian Folk Psych Fuzz Archivist RARE NM

Auction is for a RARE ORIGINAL CANADIAN-ONLY PRIVATE PRESSING of TLMC (TORONTO LITURGICAL MUSIC COLLECTIVE)'S "GODLIGHT" LP from 1976 on Fantasy Sound (Custom Private). Fantastic Canadian xian rock rarity with 3 great cuts featuring effects and fuzz. Top copy here in original shrink-wrap. Here's an excerpt from Ken Scott's Archivist… "TLMC stands for the Toronto Liturgical Music Collective. That doesn’t sound like a particularly promising name, but it turns out to be a magnificent male/female electric folkrock lp with soft-psych edges. Not the type of sound you’d typically expect from a Canadian recording as Godlight seems more in line with the big dollar UK folk privates. In fact on some of these songs you’d swear it was Presence or Mystery Maker. TLMC is mainly four individuals: Michael Arbour, Paul Bochar, Helen Despres and James Murphy, plus three others on additional instruments. In the electric category are ‘Lord Of Mercy’ and ‘Doxology (Blues)’ with phased guitar backing, ‘Lamb Of Ninths’ and ‘Prophet’s Hope’ with cool wah-wah solos, and ‘Now’s The Time’ with the fuzz. Also some exceptionally beautiful delicate acoustic ballads, sometimes with recorder or violin accompaniment. In between are some fine jangly 12-string folkrock moods like ‘Stewards’. Gorgeous fragile harmonies throughout from the four. (Ken Scott - Archivist)"

Condition of Cover/Vinyl is NM / NM.
