Description
Very cool cover art for this backwards gatefold album by Michael Hurley from the well known American acid folk/pyschedelic band The Holy Modal Rounders.
The Holy Modal Rounders, a loose group centering on Peter Stampfel and Steve Weber, are gonzo traditionalists who mix folk and bluegrass tunes with their own bouncy, absurdist free associations. The Rounder's closest brush with commercial success came when their "If you Wanna be a Bird" appeared on the Easy Rider soundtrack, but such songs as "Boobs a Lot" and "My Mind Capsized" kept folk rock from taking itself too seriously. Stampfel was previously with groups like MacGrundy's Old Timey Wool Thumpers. He and Weber met in 1963 on the East Coast. They recorded albums for Prestige and then began working with the Fugs and contributed to the Fugs first record on the Broadside label.
Originally issued January 1971. Jacket folds over back, with lyrics printed inside.
Has "For Demonstration Use Only Not For Sale" affixed to front cover
Sleeve: VG+
