· JUDY HENSKE AND JERRY YESTER - FAREWELL TO ALDEBARAN - RARE SOFT PSYCH / ACID FOLK LP ON FRANK ZAPPA'S "STRAIGHT" LABEL - ORIGINAL 1968 STRAIGHT STEREO LP STS-1052. Richie Unterberger (All-Music Guide): "Success is a matter of luck as well as talent. Given different circumstances, Henske could have certainly been a much bigger star than she was. Instead she's a hazily remembered figure, known if at all for some recordings that faintly prefigured folk-rock, and tangential associations with more famous performers. Her strong, bold, and versatile delivery would have been well-suited for the folk-rock era; her timing was just a bit off...........She finally got her chance to blossom on the 1969 LP Farewell Aldebaren, a collaborative effort with Jerry Yester that appeared on Frank Zappa's Straight! label (an association that probably arose because Henske and Zappa were both managed by Herbie Cohen). The album was a wildly eclectic, impressive effort that showcased an astonishing range of vocal delivery on Henske's part, and owed more to psychedelic music than folk. The enigmatic production was reminiscent of some of Van Dyke Parks and Brian Wilson's more adventurous work. Baroque music filtered through acid-colored glasses, its shimmering textures coat an uneasy restlessness." · ORIGINAL U.S. PRESSING · ORIGINAL RED, ORANGE AND YELLOW STRAIGHT LABEL. · THIS IS THE ORIGINAL, AUTHENTIC, FIRST U.S. PRESSING; THIS IS NOT A REISSUE, AN IMPORT, OR A COUNTERFEIT PRESSING. · ORIGINAL GATEFOLD COVER, MADE OF THICK CARDBOARD (AMERICAN STYLE) · CLEAN, WEAR-FREE LABELS · As far as we know, this album has NEVER been available on legitimate Compact Disc or in any other way, manner or format.
