Legendary solo album by the star-crossed drummer of Moby Grape. Recorded in Nashville after his recent release from a New York mental facility, the album has been described as the sound of a mind unravelling on record. It is a dark, strange and yet uplifting piece of music. Truly, there is nothing else like it in rock. Skip recorded this album and receded into obscurity. It was ignored upon release, and original prints are nearly impossible to find. This unit is in good playable condition. It was cleaned with a Spin Clean record cleaner and test-played on an audiophile system with a Denon DP-59L turntable. Plays very nicely with no skips or repetitive pops. There is minor surface noise between tracks and during quiet passages. Cover is good, with some scuffs. The previous owner, Becky Johns, saw fit to sign her name on the cover. We forgive her - she was cool enough to seek out this amazing record. Wonder where she is now. Skip is long gone. Enjoy.
