Superb US Psych Rock......full of wonderful Beatles/Psych like tracks.....a lost gem which has to rate as one of the best albums on this collectable label.

Saw this review:
"There's a long and rich history in rock & roll of people wanting to sound like the Beatles, which was OK when that meant writing good three-minute songs and playing them with enthusiasm and imagination. Things became more problematic when the Fab Four made Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band; after the Beatles convinced a generation that epic-scale overproduction was art, more than a few musicians followed in their footsteps, forgetting that most of them couldn't write songs as well as Lennon and McCartney in order to cover their tracks. Steve Sawyer and Freddie McFinn were a pair of East Coast tunesmiths who worshiped the Beatles and were convinced they could make a Sgt. Pepper's of their own; a record company took the bait, and Chesapeake Juke Box Band, the self-titled debut from the duo, was the result. Recorded with a large cast of first-call session musicians (uncredited, but reported to include Tony Levin, David Spinozza and Hugh McCracken) and with production and arrangement assistance from Ron Frangipane, Chesapeake Juke Box Band is a grand and lavish affair to be sure, with every tune conceived and executed on a grand scale. The playing is expert throughout, Sawyer and McFinn's vocals (including blocks of overdubbed harmonies) are fine, and the psychedelic ambience of this album is palpable and impressive, especially on the side two song suite "Martha & Walley Frizbee's Memorabilia." Chesapeake Juke Box Band may well possess even more widescreen grandeur than Sgt. Pepper's. Chesapeake Juke Box Band is an album that's developed a passionate cult following since it came and went largely unnoticed in 1971, and not without reason, the album is a triumph in the art of record making."

An album which is finally getting the attention it deserves largely due to the CD reissue....but it means that originals are now even more sought after...

Cover is close to EX, record plays close to M-....one of the nicer playing copies I've come across.

Condition is EX- to EX/EX (cover/record), cover has a cutout hole.
