This is Dragonfly's sole 1968 release, an increasingly sought after collectable, Dragonfly stands as one of the psych genres' bigger mysteries.  The group offered an excellent set of fuzz guitar-propelled psych/hard rock. With it's virtually non-stop fuzz guitar onslaught, what's not to like? This is a true psych head's wet dream. Somewhat heavy, but very hard, guitar driven psych/hard rock, with garage influences, strong West Ccoast flavor, the aforementioned extensive fuzz guitar, lots of psych effects, including echo and backwards tape loops. It's got it all. And though most bands of this genre attempt to insert at least one soft ballad to show they are capable of more than just one thing, these guys crash out of the gate and never look back. Strong melodies and searing vocals made original material such as 'Blue Monday', 'Enjoy Yourself' and 'I Feel It' well worth hearing. Personal favorites were the fuzz and backward guitar drenched 'Crazy Woman' and the extended closing number 'Miles Away'.  Overall the collection was nothing short of great.  Wish I could tell you more about the LP, but there were no performance credits to be found on the slim liner notes.

·                               CONDITION:

·                               RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          WE GRADE THE VINYL  AS  NEAR MINT. Some VERY LIGHT AND SUPERFICIAL abrasions – mostly sleeve scuffs -  are (barely) visible, but are probably inaudible,  and do not affect visual integrity or beauty of the vinyl. The original luster is very much intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

(b)            The record has a "deep groove" (an indent in the label about 1/2-inch from the edge of the label, which on SOME labels is associated with very early or first pressings).

(c)             The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(d)          Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!
