PEARLS BEFORE SWINE

The psychedelic folk band Pearls Before Swine was the brainchild of singer, composer, and cult icon Tom Rapp; 

after writing his first song at age six, he later began performing at local talent shows, and as a teen, he bested 

a young Bob Dylan at one such event. Upon relocating to Eau Gallie (now part of Melbourne), Florida, 

Rapp formed Pearls Before Swine in 1965, recruiting high-school friends Wayne Harley, Lane Lederer, 

and Roger Crissinger to record a demo which he then sent to the ESP-Disk label; the company quickly 

signed the group, and they soon traveled to New York to record their superb 1967 debut 

One Nation Underground, which went on to sell some 250,000 copies.

The explicitly antiwar Balaklava, widely regarded as Pearls Before Swine's finest work, 

followed in 1968; the group -- by this time essentially comprising Rapp and whoever else 

was in the studio at the moment -- moved to Reprise in 1969...
