Grand Theft: Grand Theft 1972 Quadraphonic 12'' Vinyl Psychedelic Record GT-1
Here is a super rare psychedelic rock vinyl record from the band Grand Theft out of Mercer Island, WA. This record only had 1000 pressings with what I assume not many left in existence. The original plain yellowing discolored textured cover looks to have been drawn on by some Seattle hippies when tripping out to this record. The cover does have the Made In Canada stamp on the back. New white inner sleeve. Side 1 looks like it has barely survived a few acid trip parties and has a ton of scratches and rub wear. Side 1 plays threw without any popping or skips but does have a good amount of crackling threw out. Looks like the hippies couldn't make it to side 2 as they were tripping out to hard to Side 1 and forgot to put it on side 2. Side 2 still has a lot of scratches and rub wear but does sound slightly better then Side 1 in my opinion.
The earlier Grand Theft was a satirical hard rock band from Mercer Island, Washington. They were actually a straight-ahead folk rock outfit called Bluebird, but they also released a self-pressed LP in 1972 under the name Grand Theft. The original album is highly sought-after by collectors, and it was reissued twice in the 1990s: first under the title "It's Eating Me Alive", and later re-titled "Hiking To Eternity" (with two extra cuts from their unfinished second LP). The music was intended as a goof on hard rock bands of the day such as Grand Funk (one of their best known tunes, "Closer To Herfy's", is a direct satire of GFR's "Closer To Home") and the lyrics are often quite funny even today.
