RANDY HOLDEN “Population II” Heavy Psych re-issue New!

Lucky Pigs Records….. This is a re-issue of this rare psychedelic lp. This issue has two bonus tracks. New and Unplayed copy but does have two light inaudible surface scuffs. All copies of this re-issue I have had does seem to have an inaudible mark or scuff. These minor blemishes do not sound at all. Please check out our other listings of used and new lp’s. Good luck and thanks for looking!

Holden's first solo album (he would not release any more music for about 25 years) was a strange bridge between psychedelia and heavy metal. At times these lurching, extended songs sound like sub-Jimi Hendrix noodling. But at the same time they sound genuinely more sinister and feverish than the by-the-numbers heavy metal soloing that would become so popular starting in the early 1970s. The slow, sometimes dirge-like tempos were a result of an adventurous two-man band situation in which Holden's only accompanist was Chris Lockheed, who played drums and keyboards simultaneously and couldn't be expected to effectively keep rapid rhythms. Holden is much more of a guitar player than a singer/songwriter, but these do have some smoking sustain passages, sometimes with a stratosphere-like wobbly bite, as on "Fruits and Icebergs.
