Near Impossible To Find Without Shelf Wear!
COMES WITH RARE LYRICS INSERT (Very scarce!)
Very hard to find 1969 first pressing ...you may see the recent reissue but seldom is seen the original '69 pressing ...must not have been a large production run of this title... eternally rare!
This obscure power trio is thought to have come from Boston, where they supported the Velvet Underground in 1969, the same year their sole LP appeared. An inspired blend of tough electric blues (Leavin' Trunk , Antique Locomotives), commercial songs with distinctive hooks (What Of I?, Pourscha Poe) and more overtly acid-influenced material (David's Rush, Yellow Wall), it's an overlooked psychedelic gem that deserves far wider recognition...
Guitarist David Mello wasn't going to win any awards for prolific soloing but his playing fit in well with the bands sound. Bassist Richard Porter and drummer Michael Clemens were the real story. Porter had good chops and an excellent singing voice while Clemens drove the music with precision and rhythmic dexterity ...
Overall, Wilskinsons Tri-Cycle is a strange bit of lost psychedelia – one of the many gems recorded by Columbia during the late 60s and early 70s by artists like this group, who left behind a brief and strong recorded legacy, but never really made it big time. The album's got a spacey feel on most tracks – with a mix of tripped out guitar, bass, and drums that ring out in kind of a post-Jefferson Airplane vein. Vocals are spooky enough – and highlights, among others, include "Yellow Wall", "I Like Your Company", "9-5, 95", "David's Rush", and "What Of I".

CONDITION: The cover: rated: The near M- (OUTSTANDING!) Has very little prior use, TOP Final Collection Copy! The only small detail is a small delete at top left- otherwise talking NO wear and this rarity seldom ever turns up, but when it does, has a lot of wear. The front and back are near M- front, M- back cover. The dark cover was very wear prone and clean copies just about don't exist. The album has always been hard to find even when first released 50 years ago! Overall it's solid and very crisp clean all over with no bends, no writing, no split seams...final collection keeper!
