Description
JIMMER GLYNN -- ex. rare, original late 1960's or early 1970's U.S. album. For Rock-Psych and Private Press fans, this is a frankly amazing and apparently completely-unknown LP credited to "Jimmer Glynn," who sounds like a solo artist but could be a group. Sound is gorgeous, melodic, post-psychedelic rock in the vein of Badfinger circa "No Matter What" and "Day After Day," Paul McCartney songs like "Come & Get It," early Todd Rundgren and Emitt Rhodes. All tracks appear to be originals except for a cover of The Beatles' "Yesterday" -- whoever Jimmer Glynn is/was, he definitely loved The Beatles and McCartney in particular. Songwriting, vocals and musicianship are all first-rate; a number of the song arrangements are quite complex, esp. for a private press LP that was released on an almost-unknown label, w/ no information on the front or back cover about the artist. Basically, if you're looking for a lost late 1960's Badfinger album, this is it. Back cover in fact is blank white without even song listings (!) Record is numbered "MO 1017," but whether this ever saw record stores is a good question: it may have been something of a private/vanity pressing, or a demo album -- the cover photo is a generic shot of a mountain lake and gives no indication of the irresistible treasures inside. There's no date listed on the cover or record, but sound and cover/label seem to indicate somewhere bet. 1969 - 1972. A really wonderful and completely obscure record that deserves to be rediscovered. See photo for track listing. Cover: VG+, still in shrink wrap, 1/4" tear at front lower right edge, 1-1/4" tear on back cover lower left edge, light wear at corners. Record: VG+/VG++, several light surface marks and light wear, overall very clean, on Mohawk label, U.S. pressing.
