Description

Scarce original self-titled LP release from Maskil, issued in 1978 (no label; RSR 764).  LP is in superb VG++ condition.  Cover is close, a strong VG+ with a corner bump (that’s glare at the bottom of the photo; sorry).

 

Rightfully gains praise from Ken Scott in his Archivist:

 

“If you enjoy the endearing country folkrock sounds of the first album by The Way then Maskil’s custom LP should provide a similar treat.  Quiet and melodic with plenty of shimmering acoustic guitar interplay, soft electric backing/leads and wholesome rural harmonies.  Four of the five guys play guitar, with a viola joining in on a couple occasions.  Three different songwriters among them, contributing titles like ‘Odds & Ends’, ‘Return To Jesus’, ‘Resurrection Life’, ‘All That You Need’, nine in all.  ‘All That Glitters’ is especially strong, floating along dreamily with gentle trippy electric guitar for a subtle west-coast psych edge.  Similar effect on the minor-key ‘Ballad Of The Blind Man’ which has a good amount of soloing.  A musical outreach of Inn Of The Last Resort, Franklin, NC.  Real nice cover, too.  Could easily get hyped (and deservedly so I’d say).”
