Description
This is mint and sealed. It is an original copy. I ordered a copy in around 2003 and was sent two. I offered to send one back but I was told to keep them both as it was sent from the US and it wasn't worth the postage. I can see that one of these records sold for $171 on eBay in 2009. There may also be a connection with Tommy Rowndtree who issued an LP called Jungle Blood a while back. Here is the blurb from that sale:
"This loner acid folk-into psych curio came down the collector pike along with a companion piece by Jim Collins And The High Mass ... both of 'em sans any pertinent info whatsoever. I've yet to find anyone online or elsewhere that seems to have the real scoop on these releases; the timelessly odd nature of their contents rendering a clear "read" on it's cultural context difficult. it might be new material. It might be newly released archival material. Or it might be that a cache of old copies were found and spread through the collector network (Chris Freeman at Fusetron guesses that these date from the early 90's). An uneven but sometimes hair-raising record, the true depths of this album eluded me at first, as the rather prosaic nature of the singer/songwriter structures that initially hem in these tracks suggest little of the creeping weirdity that leaks (and later spills) into his compositions as the album progresses and the plot thickens. "Clown Clouds" and "What A Day" (the two best and longest cuts here...roughly half the album) find introspective acid folk themes thrumming and cycling before being subsumed under gossamer residues of protoplasmic/ placental psychotropic space gloop on the former and resounding organ drones, fore-grounded rhythmic perambulations and electronic treatments swaddling Terry's escalating gruff vocal histrionics on the latter to supremely memorable ends. It's an insular, brooding and sometimes ponderous sound world that Terry engenders here and it's not always one that's 100% inviting, but the hot sh*t half will send your head spinning nevertheless."
