PLASTIC CLOUD 's/t' LP (US, Lion Productions, Catalogue #LION LP-103) Brand new/unplayed copy of very limited year 2018 Lion Productions single LP cover edition of ALL-TIME TOP WORLDWIDE GARAGE FOLK ROCK FUZZ PSYCH MONSTER album from legendary Canadian band The Plastic Cloud (originally released in 1968 on the Allied Records label.) A real cornerstone album of any serious worldwide focused psych rock archive/collection.
(NOTE: LIMITED VINYL EDITION!)
Plastic Cloud recorded, quite simply, one of the greatest underground psychedelic albums ever made: a swirl of gossamer vocals and Tolkien references, swathed in the some of the most relentless fuzz guitar you will ever hear. A record with few equals, full of foreboding melodies and lovely hippie harmonies, as well as some of the trippiest fuzz guitar ever recorded. There is no need to single out a specific track, they are all excellent—one is equally as good as the next. Take for example the album centerpiece, the ten-and-a-half-minute ‘You Don't Care,’ an insane piece of social commentary that features terrific back-of-the-mix fuzz guitar as an elusive focal point to its extended pounding-drum laden instrumental breaks; a ten-minute swath of lysergic fuzz guitar that closes out the first side, it doesn't overstay its welcome, winding its way to a final freak out. Essential psychedelia!
"The Canadian late 1960s freak scene produced several terrific LPs and here's one of the ultimates, with an appeal to both garage fuzz-heads and psych album collectors. The mix of dreamy WCPAEB-style vocals with ripping fuzz and sub-Dylanesque lyrics works better than one might imagine possible, and the LP gains appeal from its youthful basement edge. This is one of the big, mandatory pieces of the field, and a desirable item for decades, which has helped make it rare despite a sizable pressing run. Great sleeve too." - Patrick Lundborg/Acid Archives
"What remains so remarkable about the band's album is that... the performances retain an energy, but also a naivety, that somehow evokes both the Jefferson Airplane and the Velvet Underground — often within the same song." —Shindig!
