COSMIC MICHAEL 's/t' LP (Spain, Out-Sider, Catalogue #OSR033) Brand new/unplayed copy of limited year 2015 Out-Sider label LP edition of RARE 1969 US Real People Freak Rock Boogie Psych album by Cosmic Michael (originally released in 1969 on the Bliss Records label.)
(NOTE: LIMITED VINYL EDITION!)
?
'Ultra-crude basement garage psych and acid-boogie-blues from 1969! Who was the mysterious Cosmic Michael? Nobody knows for sure -- rumor goes that he was a freak from New York who later relocated to the West Coast after living the Woodstock dream. That's all we know about him. But before vanishing without trace, Cosmic Michael self-released a couple of primitive, homemade albums on his Bliss label. This is his first one, DIY stoner bluesy garage psychedelia with crude organ, guitars, and vocals. Featuring underground classics like "Cosmic Michael Theme" (covered in 2013 by neo-psych band Psychic Ills) and "Now That You Found It" among others. First ever vinyl reissue, original artwork, insert with a reproduction of the original poster, plus pasteable reproductions of original LP labels like those that came with the original release. Remastered sound.'
"The first LP perhaps looks greater than it sounds, but is still an appealing item for its compounded freak value. One of the lease 'cosmic'-sounding LPs around, with a loose urban soundcheck vibe using equal parts Vox organ, piano and crude guitar, on top of which Michael semi-improvs lyrics to a steady basement boogie beat. Not downer folk or such, but a '60s DIY r'n'r feel rare for Real People albums. The top attraction is Cosmic Michael's "Theme" which describes in third person the acid-induced transformations he's undergone: "some kind of chemical change is going on in poor Michael's brain..." set to a rockin' garage fuzz beat. The female bluesy Joplin clone on the extended "Mother Earth" could have sucked, but wins on rawness and realness. An unusual LP that falls between any genres you can think up; he would have made an excellent double bill with Bob Edmund." - Patrick Lundborg/Acid Archives
