SAINT STEVEN -OVER THE HILLS/THE BASTICH

Extremely rare original press from PERU!!

Cool cover has the typical plastic bag all around,someone has been ad clear tape from the inside,VG++/very clean disc with deep groove labels VG++

from acid archives:

Ambitious and eclectic Boss-Town sound that's received some hype recently though I can't say I'm blown away by it. Fuzzed hippierock mixed with folkie bits and interesting lyrics but nowhere as freaky and arresting as the top psych LPs from the time and place, in my opinion. May appeal more to fans of early UK/Euro artrock and prog. Earlier recordings as the Frontpage Review have been made available (CD "Mystic Soldiers", Big Beat). Cataldo was later in the Nervous Eaters. The LP title is sometimes listed as "Over The Hills". A Canadian original pressing exists without gatefold; the album was also released in Peru for some reason. See also comment for One St Stephen. [PL]

After Morgen, this is the key collectable on the label. Opinions are divided on it, but I think it's a good one. There's a mild theme to it, with background noise on several songs (political commentary, animal noises), and two distinct album sides: "Over The Hills" and "Bastich." I'm not really sure what it's about, but it has an appealing strange energy. The music is a mix of melodic pop/psych and heavy psych. The songs vary in quality but all have nice fuzz guitar and a few, notably "Bastich 1" and "Voyage To Cleveland," are quite memorable. Not a masterpiece, but an interesting album. Oddly enough, "Bastich 1" was covered by Whalefeathers. How in the world did they ever discover this song? [AM]
