Description
Marc Jonson - Years. VSD 6577. This is truly a rare find. Very under appreciated Folk Psych. SEALED ORIGINAL RELEASE. Please notice hole punch and small tear on original seal, overall condition is excellent. I don't rate any albums as Mint, but this is as close as it gets, unreal original sealed rare folk psych album. I have seen this album twice in 30 years of digging, and of course never sealed. I happen to have a nice copy and it's a tremendous folk psych of the highest order and a truly ground breaking listen. Please see the following online article and visit RYM to see more excellent reviews. A must have for Folk Rock Psych fans! The Vanguard Records label is known for some obscure gems, but Marc Jonson's 1972 debut album Years, just might be the rarest—and the fairest—of them all! This lost psych folk/baroque pop masterpiece marked quite a departure for a label known for its traditional folk, blues, and roots music. Comparisons have been made to Tim Buckley's Goodbye & Hello, Phil Ochs' Pleasures of the Harbor, Bill Fay's first album as well as other obscure Popsike legends such as Bobb Trimble, John Pantry, and David Stoughton…throw in a touch of the intimate vibe of Big Star and you’ll have an idea of the coolness that awaits those who discover (or rediscover) this cult classic. As Jonson remarks in the liner notes, "I used left over harpsichords from classical sessions the night before. I hired string players and a string arranger. I even met a street player named Steven Gardner who played the recorder!
