Ernest Fischbach & Charles Ewing: "A Cid Symphony" (3 LP) 1967, USA/No label 7-121 - 7-126. Discs are all in the range of VG+ visually with a few light marks; if you are familiar with this legendary rarity you will be aware that Mint discs seemingly do not exist, they all have some little imperfections. The orange label on the yellow vinyl disc has a surface tear around the spindle hole. The pink front slick is here, this has some wrinkles and a little torn area along the top edge, still VG+. This particular front slick was never mounted to posterboard as some were, nor did it have its corners rounded as many did. The back slick is not here, so I've added a photocopy of it. All three printed innersleeves are here, and there will be some unique inserts included. Incredibly rare item up for grabs, a privately made triple LP on beautiful transparent colored vinyls put together by an ambitious collective right in the center of drug experimentation and war protest, late 60s Berkeley, California. There's a radical political vibe throughout, as the producer was a figure with the Free Speech Movement at the University Of California at Berkeley. The band members were studying at the nearby Ali Akbar College Of Music, so their folky compositions are strongly Eastern-influenced. Combining these personalities makes for a heady listen, even 40 years later. There are no three minute pop songs here, no heavy guitar. It's more of a dark ceremony to my ears. Imagine Peter Walker's Rainy Day Raga LP stretched out to 99 minutes with field recordings and some spoken word segments and you'll be close to where this thing goes...
