ETERNITY’S CHILDREN s/t Canadian Capitol 6000 Pop Psych CURT BOETTCHER listen

1968/Canada/Capitol Records ST 6256…….Here’s a nice copy of this Rare lp, first one I’ve seen for a while on this Capitol 6000 label. The cover is in the shrink and in solid VG+ condition, delete hole lower right corner, some light aging along the opening on the back, no splits and looks very nice. The vinyl is in pretty glossy VG condition with only very light surface sleeve scuffs/mark and a few scuffs. The record plays well with light background noise/crackle mainly below the music level.  Light noise/ticks between tracks. You can hear the complete lp. Recorded with no use of filters...listen at www.ecommerceplayer.com/MediaPlayer.aspx?id=2e3319d8-5089-4911-b9ab-0cc4d5d45e3b

While Eternity's Children lacked the consistency and originality to assume a spot in the pantheon of true sunshine pop greats, they also deserve far more than mere footnote status -- assembling their two studio LPs and a handful of singles, Rev-Ola's definitive retrospective not only posits the group for reappraisal, but proves that their finest moments rank alongside anything in the soft pop canon. Although the presence of producer Curt Boettcher guarantees comparisons to like-minded (but more commercially successful) acts like the Association and Sagittarius, Eternity's Children's lush, overlapping harmonies were all their own, and their songs cut an impressive swath of stylistic territory, from the gorgeous, bossa nova-like "My Happiness Day" to the gritty blue-eyed soul of the Chips Moman-produced "The Sidewalks of the Ghetto." Some of their material was certainly suspect -- songs like "Sunshine Among Us" and "Get Outta Here" strive unconvincingly for psychedelic-era edginess, while "The Thinking Animal" is an embarrassing stab at social relevance -- but the good far outweighs the bad, and cuts like "Mrs. Bluebird," "Your World," "Again Again," and "Sunshine and Flowers" are essential listening for anyone enamored with the West Coast harmony-pop sound.
