Description

Here is a little something I found on the internet.

    "ALTERNATIVITY" VARIOUS UNIDENTIFIED PERFORMERS INSANELY RARE RELEASE ABOUT WHICH VIRTUALLY NOTHING IS KNOWN! WELL, WE KNOW A LITTLE:
  • ALBUM IS TITLED "ALTERNATIVITY"
  • IT WAS RECORDED SOMETIME IN THE EARLY 1970s AND IS CREDITED TO "A. AMATULLO, HO, TORBET, BONEY STOKES, K. KAYSER"
  • ALBUM COMES IN AN LP BOX WITH COVER ART BY M.C. ESCHER ENTITLED "DYSON BALL".
  • RECORD WAS MASTERED AT BELL SOUND IN NYC AS PROVED BY IMPRINT IN THE DEAD WAX OF THE TRAILOFF GROOVE.
  • THE ALBUM IS A NAIVE MIX OF AUDIO VERITE, POETRY, ORIGINAL FOLK AND PSYCH!
    HERE IS AN OVERVIEW OF THE ALBUM'S TRACKS:
  • "as the mind crumbles" audio chronology of the 1950s-early 1970s with seagulls...chatter...howdy doody...davey crockett...superman....elvis...honeycomb cereal...alley oop...bob dylan...john glenn...norwegian wood...jfk...the supremes...devil with the blue dress...vietnam...sgt. peppers...1965 blackout...mlk...rfk...electrical banana....air pollution...man on the moon...max yasgur...ohio state...t rex...
  • "the world is too much with us" spoken poetry set to music of Erik Satie
  • "ecstasy express" excellent psych instrumental
  • "you can fly" bullfrogs...country jams...roosters
  • blue mountain girl" melodic hippie country which explodes into a twin guitar pysch workout.
  • "an underwear song" humorous song about undergarments with 12-string accompaniment
  • "is america possible?" revolution #9 style experiment
  • "pretty lady" another original folk song
  • "luna" a trip into deep space

This is boxed set of an LP, a newsprint magazine, a poster and a small piece of 16mm film. The top of the box featuring the ESCHER cover is missing most of left side of box and has tape on top right corner; slick is worn but all there. Back half of box is in much better condition. Record could use some cleaning but appears played little if any with some dusty sleeving marks; play grades NM. Includes a 48 page booklet full of art, poetry, drug culture stuff, an R CRUMB comic, an article on Buckminster Fuller and all sorts of weird hippy stuff, in excellent condition. Also included is a trippy polychrome 22 by 26 inch poster of a snowflake...nice, again in excellent condition with exception of one small crease to folded edge...minimal. Pictures should tell alot
