review
[-]by Joe ViglioneDespite production by Bob Thiele, Frank Kofsky's horrifying liner notes comparing Eden's Children toJimi Hendrix and Cream are the only thing worse than this music. It's a weak album, for sure, regardless of Kofsky's proclamation that Richard Schamach is a better vocalist than Jack Bruce. He isn't, nor can this Boston band reach the heights of Blue Cheer, never mind Mountain. "Goodbye Girl" is one of the better tracks, resembling very bad Bachman Turner Overdrive. The modulation makes it painfully clear how weak a singer "Sham," as ABC wanted the non-existent fans to call Richard Schamach, really was. There's no need for songs like "If She's Right" with half-baked fuzz guitar, no groove, and drummerJimmy Sturman all over the map. Emerging from a world where the Beacon Street Union, the Remains,Listening, and the Lost were making musical waves, these poor souls are way out of that league. To be hyped as better than Cream no doubt created expectations this trio could never live up to. "I Wonder Why" is no "White Room," and "Stone Fox" is a total embarrassment -- you actually have to hear this to believe how bad it really and truly is. There is a photo of the legendary Bob Thiele working an amplifier next to keyboardist/guitarist Richard "Sham" Schamach, and maybe he needed the gig, but this is nothing to be proud of. "Bad Habit" displays atrocious guitar sounds, which descend further on "Just Let Go," a seven-minute-thirty-eight second epic. It is dreadful. That bassist Larry Kiley was 20 withSchamach and Sturman only a year older says something about the desperation of ABC to jump on a bandwagon. "Just Let Go" begins like a track off the Velvet Underground's first album mutating into badJimi Hendrix. The sound quality deteriorates as the record progresses.

Billboard Albums
Year Album Chart Peak 1968 Eden's Children The Billboard 200 196 J J DISC (VINYL) GRADES SS Sealed at factory and never opened. Disc is assumed to be undamaged and mint, but this cannot be proven until the album is actually opened and the disc examined. (STILL SEALED) M Perfection, no flaws, defects, marks or otherwise indications of being handled or played. Any scuffs, hairline scratches or other marks disqualify discs from this category. (MINT) NM or M- The vinyl is virtually flawless, bright and shiny. A very minor, barely visible scuff or two may be permitted, but no scratches. The disc plays with no audible noise. The label is bright, clean and unmarked. (NEAR MINT or MINT MINUS) EX or VG++ Disc plays near perfectly, but has minor paper scuffs that do not interfere with the sound quality. There is possibly a hairline scratch or two but nothing that is obvious or affects play. Vinyl is bright and shiny; label is clean and unmarked. (EXCELLENT or VERY GOOD ++) VG+ Some visible surface wear, very minor scratches and scuffs, but minimal impact on the sound quality. Vinyl still have good luster; labels are clean. (VERY GOOD PLUS) VG Vinyl has noticeable scratches or scuffs that cause minor surface noise, but do not overpower the music. There are no skips. Vinyl appears somewhat dull and grayish. Labels may have small tears, tape marks, writing, etc. (VERY GOOD) G Well-played, dull, grayish vinyl with deeper scratches and wear causing distracting surface noise (hisses, pops, cracks and other nasties). The record will still play through without any skips. Labels may be significantly defaced or damaged. (GOOD) F and P Unless the record is particularly rare, I would not try to sell a record in this condition. There will be major noise, surface damage, deep scratches, and skips. Attempting to listen to these discs will be painful. These discs are basically trash unless a collector desires one to fill a space in a collection until a better one comes along. (FAIR) (POOR) ALBUM COVER GRADES SS Album is still in the factory-applied shrink-wrapping. (STILL SEALED) M Absolutely perfect; no corner dings, marks, tears, dents, impressions from the disc, or other flaws. Cover should appear as if a record has never been inside. (MINT) NM or M- Very minor signs of wear or cover impressions. Artwork is as close to perfection as possible. (NEAR MINT or MINT MINUS) EX or VG++ Minor disc impression and slight corner creases, no wrinkles, puckers, seam splits or writing on the cover. Artwork is clean and unworn and there is no ink wear. (EXCELLENT or VERY GOOD ++) VG+ Cover is clean but has minor writing or marks and shows slight wear. There may be just the start of ring wear. There is slight discoloration due to aging or staining, minor seam wear, but no splits or tears. Corners have small creases or fraying. (VERY GOOD PLUS) VG Cover is worn and used. Seams may be starting to split or may be repaired with clear tape. There is moderate ring wear, but the artwork is still attractive. There is some yellowing or discoloration and there is larger writing, labels, or marks. Corners have damage (dents, fraying, and/or creases). (VERY GOOD) G Several (but not all of the following flaws will apply: Seam splits, large marker writing, major seam splits, significant ring wear, damaged corners, tears, cuts, gouges, masking or duct tape seam repairs, or other flaws and damage. Again, probably only useful to fill a collection niche until something better can be found. (GOOD) F and P Trash, useable only to keep the record off the floor.
