Description

We have unearthed a 3rd copy of this fantastic LP from deep in the GROOVES vaults... We sold 2 in the last year, and I thought we didn't have any left, but there it was squirreled away!  Whenever I'd see it I'd buy it over the years - it's really a special album, wonderful songs and so well recorded... anyway it's WILCOX SULLIVAN WILCOX "an album of original music" on the private press Goldust Records label. 

from forced exposure...

This is an album of private press original music by New Mexico male/female trio Michael Sullivan, Judy Wilcox, and Dennis Wilcox, from 1973. Folky psychedelic rock with lush male-female harmonies. Bright and brilliantly textured acoustic guitar work throughout. Rocks at times, goes into hillbilly country territory and honest folk at others, with an acid influence that is pervasive yet subtle. Serious collectors have been swooning over this album for years, and with good reason. This is pure magic. Flawlessly remastered from the original master tapes by the album's producer, Emitt Brooks. Reviews from Rate Your Music: "Heaped with praise in The Acid Archives. They were totally right. A rare vanity/private press facemelter with NO covers!" "Interesting record, for a few reasons. Total guru-spiritual yogi trip as soft as they come, barefoot, ethereal voices creeping in the edges of your hair, steel guitar used like a thin ray of sunshine gleaming on a cymbal, light splashing around the room. Seemingly bogus seeker lyrics surprise and delight with cliches run backwards and through a crystal pool. It works somehow, that when you think you know what you should hear, you've only heard a shadow of it really, and the truth is clearly ahead in something entirely new and unknown... like breathing air, and forgetting you are doing so. 'Snow On A Mountain' truly is a stunning track, and a desert island pick for the genre -- magical, dark, mid-winter ennui from the depths of the reclusive preoccupied 1970s."

--- well gee i guess we've all had nights like that!, but its not as dark as that review suggests... its an upper actually-----

COVER: NM  Still in shrink wrap !!  Looks as new, NO wear to corners or seams and no ring wear to front or rear.  Looks awesome, nice bright image - spine is nice.  Price sticker affixed upper right on shrink wrap.

VINYL:  VG  A good play copy with lots of shine - mostly sounds really nice!  Side one opens with a fair bit of background noise and pops... these are a bit loud in middle of track 1.  Track 2 is also affected a bit by noise and clicks -- the album plays much better after that through end of side one.  A good vacuum clean may help this LP.   There are a cluster of small wispy marks on side two tracks 2 & 3, that aren't feelable,  they cause a few clicks during these tracks but not so much to be a real annoyance or anything, but they are there.  Looks like a needle may have danced around those tracks some late night... The LP has a small warp or defect that makes a slight gradual hump near outer edge.  We track at 1.5 grams and have no problem with jumps - its not that noticeable but should be mentioned.   So not a stone mint copy visually, but plays pretty good... several light clicks heard throughout the LP which is a quiet intimate affair!  Still a decent copy...

LABELS:  M  Beautiful clean, no wear.
