* Rarely seen on eBay * 

Gamma  GS-501, 1969  Original Issue 1st pressing Canada Stereo

(Run-off matrix #: gs-501-a)

Montreal singer-songwriter Bruce MacKay was doing the club-circuit around New York when he cut an interesting (and now cult) folk-rock LP on the ORO/ESP label in late1967.   MacKay has since harnessed somewhat of a cult status on the basis of that album.

What's unknown to most collectors is that a year & a half later, back home in Quebec, MacKay recorded an extremely obscure second album, this time on the Gamma label ....so obscure that it doesn't even appear on most listed discographies and artist bios.     While his '67 self-titled debut was recently given the CD-re-issue treatment (re-titled "Midnight Minstrel"), his follow-up on Gamma has not and is now long out-of-print, and still under most collectors' radar screens (for now)......Rare indeed !

The self-titled Gamma LP (released the same time as another rare Gamma recording.... by the coveted group "Medium") again combines elements of Bob Dylan, Tim Buckley and Phil Ochs,  with MacKay's lovely smokey detached vocals highlighting the 10 self-penned songs.   Superb musicianship throughout, although absolutely no credits given anywhere on the album.
