REAL EYES "SAME" (U.S.PRIVATE) 1981  SEALED W 83 PAGE BOOK  YES THAT'S RIGHT! Very diverse offering by this Flemington, NJ band. It's a  well produced thematic album, with sounds running the gammut from soft folk, to psych heavy metal. The main thing that sets this apart from the rest is the inclusion of a THICK, soft cover book (not booklet, but a book, with 83 pages!) filled with poetry, pictures, and presumably song lyrics, to accompany the album and help with the overall theme.  Great lp AND there's nothing else like it...Unique
From Acid Archives One of the best 80s discoveries, this is pretty wild stuff, has a crude garage edge, especially when it gets heavy. The songwriting is pretty interesting and thoughtful, and as 80s private press LPs go, this is distinctive and memorable enough to explain why psych dealers jumped on its bandwagon. A lot of the lyrics are pretty stoned. There is a lot going on here, with enough weird hooks and surprising moments to give any listener a fair amount of kicks. I like side two, especially the closing “Visions of Obscurity V,” better than side one. In the long run, whether this will be a keeper for any individual listener will probably be determined by the insane 12-minute “Madman’s Game,” an elaborate epic that encapsulates everything distinctive about this record. I’m not sure how strongly to recommend this album, but I do recommend it and it’s not boring or predictable. Coming with a 90 pages booklet with drawings and lyrics.
