Description
This is a 1968 release on Phillips records by THORINSHIELD,self titled.Thorinshield is sometimes labeled a sunshine pop band by collectors, but though they share some traits with Californian sunshine pop artists, they had a more straightforward, less lightweight rock flavor than many acts given that label. On their sole, obscure, self-titled album (from 1968), the influences of the melodic rock and vocal harmonies of the 1966-1967 Beatles are evident, as are some of the ornate orchestration, production trickery, and trippily optimistic-romantic lyrics that were becoming in vogue throughout much pop music by the late '60s. To some degree, the influence of the slicker folk-rock-affiliated Southern Californian artists can be heard as well, along with dashes of baroque melody and instrumentation. It was a reasonably pleasant, good-natured record, and certainly well produced ,with vocals that were much less fluffy than the usual sunshine pop. The trio comprising Thorinshield was formed by drummer Terry Hand (who had been in the Everpresent Fullness), guitarist James Smith, and bassist Bobby Ray, who'd been a session musician on Donovan's classic 1966 Sunshine Superman album.The record is in Near Mint playing condition-clean and scratch free.The album cover has a small hole in bottom corner.Tracks include LIFE IS A DREAM,BRAVE NEW WORLD,WRONG MY FRIEND and 8 others.Winner pays $4 shipping in USA.Air shipping......$7 Canada......$14 UK/Europe........$15 Asia/Austrailia.I will combine shipping costs on multiple wins.
