Description
This item is a rare indie album released in 1976 on Acredited Records by Sansone and McDonald. Record label and number is Acredited 37867. Record itself is in Strong VG+ to excellent condition with flaw being some light rub marks on the vinyl probably made from taking the record in and out of the paper inner sleeve. Record has great gloss and shine. Record labels show light spindle wear. Record cover is in excellent condition with flaws being a creased corner in the upper left corner and some light wear (see photos). Really solid, rare psych folk from 1976. The last track is truly a lost psych gem! Not a million miles away from newer psych revivalists like Tamp Impala. They even do a Monkees Zilch homage amongst sound effects and other backwards tape effects.
This article from the Acid Archives sums this album up best:
SANSONE & McDONALD - ‘Country Life & My Wife’ 1976 (Acredited Records)
Side 1 (the mellow side) of this obscurity has light rural hippie folkrock with relaxed vocal harmonies, ringing guitars and a homespun 1960’s flavor to moods and songwriting; more Byrdsian than CSNY:ish. May appeal to fans of 60’s revivalists like Creme Soda or News, although the songwriting is on a lesser level, and the lack of variation in sound (combined with overlong songs) may piss you off. Side 2 is the ‘Rocking Side‘ and delivers a more rootsy and cliched sound, althought the difference isn’t overwhelming. Basically a California garage band 10 years too late, trying to make up for their lack of attitude with charm. Closing track ‘The King‘ is the only thing that stands out, with an unusual new wave edge, psychedelic echo effects, and bizarre lyrics (‘someone thinks I’m gay... when I become king you’ll do what I say’).Just like Creme Soda and News we’re also treated to a collage with voices and backwards effects.If the whole album had been like the last 7 minutes it would have been memorable, instead it’s an inoffensive 70’s teen folkrock private press with some quirky angles. Although given front cover credit, Linda Hankee’s contribution seems to be only backing vocals, which is a pity. Funny cover drawing shows the boys looking like Starsky & Hutch.
