Information from research below:

Cruisin' (Silver Crest Custom, US 1976) Certainly the rarest item in this list, only a handful of copies are known to exist of this East coast do-it-yourself album, released via the Silver Crest custom label (Collective Tools, Blues Prism). It's enthusiastic but crude basement rock from a couple of brothers and a lady friend, who all look like extras from Mork & Mindy on the superb band photo. The title track is a band original instro with a Meade River vibe, while the rest is an arresting mix of primitive covers of Hendrix, Beatles, Stones, Traffic etc. The Acid Archives review lays praise on the "All Along The Watchtower" cover, but even the blues tracks here pack some real people appeal, on account of the apathetic vocals and uneven playing. Versions of "Dear Prudence" and "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" are hard to beat for realness and atmosphere. Essential to the serious '70s private press collector, and a really tough one to score. Comes With Insert & Sleeve

Album has been reviewed on Acid Archives & there is also a complete album rip currently available on YouTube.

Album has been sold a few times in the past based on Popsike ranging between $214 - $435 !!!! My buy it now price is very fair based on this!!

Good luck to all bidders, it is going to be hard for me to part with this piece as I’ve had it for years in my own personal collection, I grew up not far from where this was actually recorded so i am definately sad to see it go!!

The exact condition is exactly as pictured!!

Item will be shipped professionally safe & fast!!!!

Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
