Description
This rare LP is called H. P. Lovecraft and is the debut album by the American psychedelic rock band H. P. Lovecraft. It was released in 1967 by Philips Records. The ten songs included on this exhibit a wide range of styles, encompassing elements of jazz on "That's How Much I Love You, Baby (More or Less)", folk music on "Wayfaring Stranger", Gregorian chant on "Gloria Patria", vaudeville psychedelia on "The Time Machine", and contemporary singer-songwriter material on "The Drifter", "Let's Get Together", "That's The Bag I'm In", and "Country Boy & Bleeker Street". In addition, the laid-back, druggy ambiance of the cover of Randy Newman's "I've Been Wrong Before" serves to give an indication of the musical direction that the band would follow on their second album, H. P. Lovecraft II. This album's centerpiece is the song "The White Ship", which was directly inspired by author H. P. Lovecraft's short story "The White Ship". Written by Edwards, Michaels, and the band's lead guitarist Tony Cavallari, the six-and-a-half-minute opus made use of baroque-style harpsichord, droning feedback, somber harmonies, and the chiming of an 1811 ship's bell. "The White Ship" went on to become something of an underground FM radio favorite in America.
