"THE REAL THING - artwork - 1972? - ARTRONICS - RARE PRIVATE MN XIAN FOLK ALBUM *IN THE SHRINK*"
SLEEVE IS STILL IN THE SHRINK AND IN NEAR MINT SHAPE. SEAMS AND CORNERS ARE SOLID. VINYL IS IN GOOD SHAPE, GOOD LUSTRE THOUGH THERE ARE A FEW VERY LIGHT PAPER SCUFFS THAT DO NOT AFFECT PLAY AND A COUPLE OF LIGHT SCRATCHES THAT CAUSE SHORT INSTANCES OF SOFT POPPING ON ONE OR TWO TRACKS. SEE PICTURES FOR DETAILS. ANOTHER GREAT MINNESOTA PRIVATE PRESS JESUS MUSIC ALBUM ON THE ARTRONICS LABEL. WAY COOL RECORD FROM THE FARGO/MOORHEAD AREA... MY HOME STOMPING GROUNDS! HARD TO FIND. GRAB IT WHILE YOU CAN!
"UNLIKE NUMEROUS BLAND YOUTH FOR CHRIST AND CAMPS LIFE GROUPS OF THE DAY DOING SIMILAR STUFF, THESE GUYS HAVE MORE OF AN ACOUSTIC ROCK SOUND, AS WELL AS BETTER SONG SELECTION. SIDE ONE ATTEPTS CAT STEVENS' 'FATHER AND SON', 'FIND THE COST OF FREEDOM', 'MAGNIFICENT SANCTUARY BAND' AND EVEN THE CHALLENGING 'SUITE: JUDY BLUE EYES' WITH SURPRISING SUCCESS. HARDLY PROFESSIONAL AND THEY'RE NOT ABOUT TO UNSEAT CROSBY STILLS & NASH, BUT THERE'S SOME NICE HOMEGROWN CHARM AT WORK YOU CAN APPRECIATE (NOT TO MENTION SOME EXCITING ACOUSTIC GUITAR WORK). SIDE TWO PRESENTS THE FOLKIER SIDE OF THE GROUP, BEGINNING WITH A DREAM COVER OF ELTON JOHN'S 'LOVE SONG' WITH BIRDS AND WAVES FOR BACKGROUND AMBIENCE. ALSO A COUPLE OF LOVE SONG TUNES ('LITTLE COUNTRY CHURCH', 'LET US BE ONE'), STOOKEY'S 'HYMN', AND 'DAY BY DAY'. A FEW HUMBLE ELECTRIC GUITAR LEADS IN THERE AMIDST THE ACOUSTIC GUITARS, BASS DRUMS, PERCUSSION, PIANO AND ELECTRIC PIANO."
