Description
“Folk-Rock in a Stone Groove”… indeed. Here’s a bizarre outsider psych LP by Dane Sturgeon. The album is entitled “Wild ‘n’ Tender” on the Stur-Geon records label, number TS-100. This particular copy is autographed by Dane himself, along with the words “In This Life There Can Only Be Love”. The vinyl grades VG+ overall, due to a small area that clicks on side two, the rest of the LP is nice and clean. The cover has a seam split along the top, and light staining on the back. I’ve owned (and enjoyed) a copy of this LP for years, and it is really hard to describe it- part psychedelic, part cowboy music, part Roy Orbison, part Spector’s wall of sound… it’s all in there. Heck, the album was even recorded Gold Star studios, the same place where Phil Spector created all of those great records. And to top it off, the songwriting is just plain weird. “Ghost of Bardsley Road” is about a ghost on a motorcycle that races kids and kills them, with plenty of maniacal laughter. “Queen Bee” and “Hurricane” are a about a lover who ruins lives. “Whip of Love”… well, that needs no further explanation. The LP was interesting enough to gain mention in the acid archives. Additionally, a short film was produced about Dane Sturgeon a few years ago… you can view it here: http://vimeo.com/31695949 Great copy of a very interesting record!
