LINCOLN STREET EXIT 'Drive It!' LP (US, Mainstream Records, Catalogue #S/6126) Brand new/unplayed copy of limited Mainstream Records label 180 gram pressing RE edition of rare 1970 LP (originally first released by Mainstream Records in October of 1970) of Hard Blues Psych Rock by Albuquerque, New Mexico Native American rockers Lincoln Street Exit.

(NOTE: LIMITED VINYL EDITION!)

"Along with Growing Concern and Bohemian Vendetta, this is at the top of the Mainstream totem pole in terms of price, and it almost lives up to the hype. Excellent teen hardrock from Native Americans who are wise beyond their years, as good as almost any other bluesy hardrock album from its time. Maybe the best of many excellent Mainstream album covers, too. The album came out in October 1970." - Aaron Milenski/Acid Archives

"A very strong/solid effort that ranges from the psych-heavy blues ridden "Dirty Mother Blues" to the flowing grooves of "Soulful Drifter." "Time Has Come Gonna Die" reflects the times & the Vietnam era vibe hanging over the U.S. - Kinda creepy, kinda doomy.... Elsewhere the EXIT deal with sexual urgency, as in "Straight Shootin' Man", "Got You Babe" and the ripping "Phantom Child" ...Guitarists Mike Martin & R.C. Gariss are in the forefront and are backed up by the rhythm section of Mac Suazo (bass) & Lee Herres (drums). This band opened for many a headliner coming through the Southwest, and provided great performances throughout. Outstanding! throughout both sides... "Drive It" has the hardrock garage feel complete with wah-wah guitars and angry young man attitude." - Music Emporium
