Original USA LP
No Mountain (MMR-003)

Rare USA original private pressing that rarely shows up and is gaining a solid reputation on the collectors scene.

The album was totally out of step with its time when released in 1980 on the tiny No Mountain label. It harks back to the previous decade, but even that doesn't explain just what the album sounds like.

It has been described as a Folk album, but that's only part of it. The psych tag some sellers have given it is misleading, but i can see why they have used that tag. I'd be hard pushed to descibe the album, but thankfully Allmusic did a pretty good job:

".......Good thing, too, because this is a gem of breezy, laid-back, ‘70s-style soft rock/pop with a gentle, folky feel and a hazy veneer of spacy, post-psychedelic open-endedness, lending the whole thing a cool, slightly stoned, Sunday-morning-after vibe....."

Since its CD only repress in the far east there are soundfiles to be found online.

The sleeve is in excellent condition, just some light corner wear and one light corner bump keeping it from near mint.

The labels are both in near mint condition. No spindle wear, no writing, no tears. Just a few very small spider marks on the labels.

The vinyl is in excellent condition with its original sheen. Looks to have very rarely been played. No scratches and no groovewear, just a couple of ultra light neddle traces when viewed under a very bright light. Superb playback.

Please note that we grade all records the same way, whether they're 40 years old or one year old.
