CHRISTOPHER s/t Doug Tull JOSEFUS – West Coast Acid Psych re-issue Sealed

This is a New Sealed/Unplayed re-issue of this heavy hard rock trio. Comes housed in a resealable poly sleeve from label. 

NEW REPRESS IN HARD CARDBOARD SLEEVE + OBI + RESEALABLE OUTER SLEEVE.

Christopher were an underground acid rock trio featuring future Josefus drummer Doug Tull. They evolved from United Gas, a psychedelic band from Houston who rubbed shoulders with legends like The 13th Floor Elevators and Moving Sidewalks.

After relocating to Los Angeles – where they changed his name to Christopher – they played at numerous biker parties and recorded their sole album in 1970 for the Metromedia label.

It’s an amazing example of West Coast psychedelia / acid-rock featuring strong fuzz-wah guitar, great compositions and superb musicianship. It was housed in a terrific cover depicting the band at the same hippie crash-pad where some scenes from the “The Trip” movie were filmed.

One of the holy grails of American psychedelic-rock and the rarest album originally released by the collectable Metromedia label.

Remastered sound, original artwork, insert with liner notes.

Note: This is the only legitimate, fully-authorized vinyl reissue of Christopher in the current market.
