Carrl & Janie Myriad LP ~ RARE Aussie folk w/fuzz 1971

Carrl & Janie Myriad – Of All The Wounded People LP (orig. Australia STEREO Spin SEL-934477—1972)

Recorded: November 1971 ~ release date: July 1972.  Running time: 35:30 (approx).

EXTREMELY RARE album by this husband & wife duo from MELBOURNE—AUSTRALIA (with full band accompaniment).  Check out the amazing array of session musicians in the PERSONNEL details below.  For the most part the album consists of hippy folk rock (both mellow and up-tempo).  My personal highlight is the fuzz-drenched ‘The Ballad Of Rachelene’ which appears at the end of side one.  This track reminds me of the early 1970s British acid-folk group MIDWINTER.
