THIS IS THE EARLY-90s EUROPEAN REPRESSING on MAINSTREAM Records. The single cover is in VG(+) condition, normal wear, BUT light discolouration/wear on spines/corners, mild creases on edges, surface ringwear, very small tear+some surface marks on front (right edge, centre), sticker mark on rear (top right), left spine is without printings; for details see photos (with and without flashlight). The vinyl is in VG+/EX condition (some clicks) and plays wonderfully and without lessening in sound quality.

STONE CIRCUS

Thought to have been Californian, this band was responsible for one of the rarer and stranger Mainstream releases, which incorporates many diverse influences. Sometimes it don't always gell but certainly makes interesting listening. All the cuts are originals, written either by Jonathan Caine or a guy called Murphy, who presumably had some connection with the band, since some tracks are co-written by Caine and Murphy. The material is wide-ranging from the accessible psychpop of Sara Wells, laid back, melodic opening cut What Went Wrong and uptempo Inside-Out Man to the highly experimental People I Once Knew, which starts with spoken lyrics over melodic piano and later descends into lots of fuzz and organ work. The Mister Grey 45, which is also on the album, is interesting too. Recommended for fans of psych and/or progressive rock but not for garage purists.
