STILL IN ORIGINAL FACTORY SHRINK WRAP
NICE, solid and sought-after surviving collection rarity!
Thee sought Original first 1967 pressing of an obscure psych band (of premium note) from Los Angeles who delivered sadly but only ONE legendary tasty & artsy baroque-rock album with strong tendencies falling in between the equally classic Arthur Lee & Love masterpiece "Forever Changes" styled production meeting the Left Banke formula of '60s grooves injected with plenty of their own spices ...

Our pick that clicks: "I'm Not Alone" ...among the other equally compelling original tunes. While very obscure to this day, the album is a real treasure throughout.
The David from late '60s Los Angeles, created one interesting album -- which 50+ years onward, has now become a top rated collectors' item.

Thee sought Original first 1967 pressing of an obscure psych band (of premium note) from Los Angeles who delivered legendary tasty & artsy baroque-rock album with strong tendencies falling in between the equally classic Arthur Lee & Love masterpiece "Forever Changes" styled production meeting the Left Banke formula of '60s grooves injected with plenty of their own spices ...our pick that clicks: "I'm Not Alone" ...among the other equally compelling original tunes. While very obscure to this day, the album is a real treasure throughout.
The leadoff track, "Another Lifetime" blends Eastern, chant-like overtones with Western arrangement motifs, in the vein composer/producer David Axelrod would have been proud of.
Other tracks are often characterized by driving rhythms played alongside oddly spaced melody lines. Much of the material - which was all written and composed by Warren Hansen - is heavily orchestrated ala Love's "Forever Changes" masterpiece coupled with distinct settings of L.A. teen scene exuberance. The David's Warren Hansen also invented an instrument, which he called the Plasmatar, to provide the vibrant rasp as featured on " Mirrors of Wood" , which also contains some fine fuzz-tone effected guitar.
"The David" list the following members: "Warren Hansen" (vocals, "Farfisa Compact Organ", 'plasmatar'), "Mark Bird" (lead guitar), "Mike Butte" (rhythm guitar), "Chuck Spieth" (bass guitar)
"Tim Harrison" (drums).
"The David" immediately began planning an LP around songs written by "Warren Hansen", which eventually included an elaborate string arrangement by "Gene Page".
Songwriter Warren Hansen's "Plasmatar" sounds a little like an electric cello and makes an appearance on these recordings adding quite an effect.
To capitalize on "Another Day, Another Lifetime", "The David" was somewhat well promoted in the L.A. area, which included appearances at the 1968 "Miss Teen Screen Magazine" pageant at the "Hollywood Palladium" and in the local Rock and Roll TV documentary "Gramophone To Groovy".
- Even though the record received radio airtime on both sides of the U.S., it only sold modestly and the band's popularity soon began to wane, distracted by heavy world politics (i.e. Vietnam war and the proliferation of psychedelic / heavy-rock gems of the the era, In other-words, some of the very best bands including unfortunately for THE DAVID, lost in the shuffle.
- The David's album remains a wonderful piece of West Coast pop psychedelia.
While all the tracks are with heavy melodic-instrumentation, there are true standouts: "Mirrors of Wood" for instance is a treasure within the vaunted "West Coast" sound of the '60s. Noted as a far more polished professional Southern California style in particular.
True to the time, the impressive backing arrangements are featured prominently on most of the tracks (many fans and critics have advised the arrangements and instrumentation comparable to Love's Forever Changes or the Door's Soft Parade.) The lyrics tend to the "dawning of a new age" variety that vacillate between the romantic (as in "New to You," or "Sweet December") to the more studied ("Time M" or "Professor Crawford," in which "Youth" confronts the "Old Way of Thinking"). However, there is a certain precious sensibility and sweetness to the entire record keeping the symphonic elements and lyrics from becoming overbearing.
"The David" started life in 1965 as "The Reasons", playing small gigs around the Los Angeles area.
