Kindred Souls: same 1976, USA/Bio-Centennial Records BC-001. Disc has some scattered tiny marks, I heard a few stray ticks on playback, it gets a VG grade. I tracked down a band member about 30 years ago and got a few unplayed copies from him, but they were dirty and none were M-. Plain white cover with front and rear paste-on slicks is M-, and it has two inserts. Bonus non-LP 45 is M-. Mega-rare private LP by a hippie folk outfit from northern California, incredibly charming paste-on sleeve design blow up the last pic and the music falls somewhere between A Cid Symphony, Gabriel Gladstar, and the second Mighty Baby. Eastern/guru aura, melodic acoustic instrumentation, rural granola get back to the land aesthetic. If you dig the vibes that the best private press folk LPs emanate, this one will take your breath away. Band includes Douglas Adams from Wailing Wall Rockadelic and Light Rain.
Everything I offer is guaranteed. I try to note any flaws with the disc and the cover so that there are no surprises when the box arrives. Be sure to view my other iamthewitch auctions as I have other interesting items up for grabs this week.
I ship all records in strong cardboard mailers with cardboard flats added to increase stability. The discs are always removed from the jackets to prevent seam splits, and all albums are dressed in plastic sleeves for travel. Please be aware that these supplies are expensive to purchase and represent a small portion of my shipping charges. I pack/ship one day per week, usually it is Friday.
