STALK-FORREST GROUP (see also: Blue Oyster Cult) - STALK-FORREST GROUP - St. Cecilia: The Elektra Recordings (2LP) - EU GREEN VINYL Limited Press - LISTEN - VERY RARE
price: 170,00 PLN / 42,50 EUR
A limited, double album on green vinyl! STALK-FORREST GROUP was the earlier name of the New York band BLUE OYSTER CULT! The sole album, recorded in February 1970 and, without exaggeration, a great one, was to be released by Elektra, but for unknown reasons it never happened (in 1970 only a promotional single appeared, worth 300 euros today) and the material lay in the archive for as long as 30 years! The first (unofficial) vinyl edition from Shadoks came onto the market only in 1999 and today is worth 150 euros. It is one of the best American records I have come to know in recent years - a combination of folk-psych-rock sounds from the West Coast with heavyish, intense, guitar-driven, controlled thrashing, sometimes backed by organ sound. No country, no ballads, no longueurs. The 7-minute "St. Cecelia" is almost the guitar world championship! This is a perfectly produced (Sandy Perlman - later B.O.C.) and instantly catchy guitar record (a bit in the style of legends such as Blue Mountain Eagle, Christopher and Maypole) that every fan of American guitar playing must have. Excellent sound quality. Gatefold sleeve with lyrics inside and a really great pressing! Highly recommended! (JL)
