Now the exposure they warranted all along is finally here. Break-A-Way
presents the bands first complete long player incl. their two sharp 45s
and for the first time a fistful of six vintage demos. The LP has the bands
1966 all-time garage classic debut 45, “You Can´t Keep A Good Man Down
b/w How She’s Hurtin Me“ and their second single release “A Change Is
Gonna Come“ b/w their wild psychedelic raga classic “Xanthia“ recorded
under the moniker “Off-Set“. Additionally there are two alternate takes
of single tracks and four completely unreleased 1965/66 recordings such
as the dramatic psych/punker “Lies I Spoke“ completely with psychy effects
and a raga-esque break; the strong moody folkrocker “Look In Her Eyes“ as
well as “Reflections“ and “Stop Feeling Sorry For Yourself“, two tracks from
the poppier side of the band. This collection proves : the Jagged Edge were
way ahead of their times and finally carve out their slice of rock history.

All tracks are painstakingly remastered for the garage
connoisseurs listening pleasure. CD comes with an 8- page booklet
featuring rare pics and the bands complete and detailed history as told by former members Art Steinman
and Harley Wishner.

CP  = COMPACT  PLATTE
Obwohl 35 Jahre Vinyl Sammler gewesen, hab` ich ja schon länger umgesattelt,
praktisch vom Platten Hengst zum Cd Pony. Sorry, aber die Dinger haben für mich nur
Vorteile.
Nebenbei GruselFreak, bewunderte ich auch immer Laser Discs, also jene
Scheiben in Lp Größe, die Filme in brillianter Schärfe abspielten, bevor sie von der
DVD abgelöst wurden. Das macht hier auch Sinn, denn der Konsument, jahrelang
auf Video Format gedrillt, bekam Gleiches in gleicher Größe vergolten, Hombre.
Mit Tabasco Schärfe für die Sichtweite.
Natürlich bereitet die Musik Cd vielen Sammlern, die mit dem Vinyl Format aufwuchsen, bis
heute Bauch Grimmen ohne Ende. Wer hält schon gerne nen mickrigen Wichtelburger
in der Hand, wenn er dafür auch mit nem Dreifach Popper protzen kann ?
Und dann die großformatigen Cover (- wenn man nicht aus Versehen sein Bier drüber
kippt -) : Manometer, das reinste Panorama!!!!!
Mir war immer unklar, wieso die Cds nicht in Lp Größe so wie die Laser Discs in eigens 
dafür hergestellte Player geschoben wurden. (- Die Schwachsinnsidee, herkömmliche Cds in
einem Lp Plattencover zu verkoofen, wollen wir mal sofort ad Acta legen, gelle).
Also, „aufgeblasene“ Cds fände ich spützä.
Ach so, das Argument "man könne seine Cds überall mit hin nehmen" hab`ich zumindest
von einem "echten" Sammler auch noch nie vernommen.
Bei dem ergrauen sie in der Vitrine oder dem Schrain der Kult Objekte. Aber nicht am Bagger See oder  vor der Curry Wurst Bude. Guten Appetit.

ONE ST. STEPHEN

S/T

LP

ANAZITISI Records ARLP 70-30F

The first ever official reissue of this highly-rated and very rare US album.

Don L. Patterson (aka One St. Stephen) wrote the music and lyrics, was lead vocalist, played electric guitars, directed and produced
the album 'One St. Stephen' in March of 1975. The music was originally intended for a film Don was developing with the working title 'The Devil's
Reservation'. Due to a famous Jazz musician with the same name, Don used the alias of One St. Stephen. The music was recorded at the legendary
Owl Studios (Columbus, Ohio), using the same 8-channel analog recording deck that was used to tape the audio at Woodstock in 1969. Because
everyone who heard the LP wanted a copy, Don pressed a very limited amount from Queen City Record Company (Cincinnati Ohio). He also designed
the album sleeve and label. The response by regional disc jockeys was phenomenal. The album got a lot of regional air play. A few months later, Don was
offered a recording contract from two major record companies in New York City. Don was asked to tour. Don was never interested in the world of
 rock and walked away from a music future. Since then, the album has been sought by many record collectors around the world and bootlegged several
times on CD and vinyl  in Europe.

One of the finest examples of mid-70's US psych-acid music. Great vocals with some  Jim Morrison "colour", heavy and sometimes fuzzy acidelic
 guitar work and excellent musicianship overall.

Fully licenced by Don Patterson (who did half of the remastering work). Exact reproduction for the cover and labels.
It includes extra poster/painting (45x65cm) and large 12-pages booklet (30x30cm) with bio, lyrics, paintings,drawings and photos. All fully laminated.

PVC protective outersleeve.

180gr. vinyl as usual.

It will be a  400 black and 100 coloured copies, vinyl edition.

Was wäre wenn Jim Morrison, Bob Marley und Rainer Langhans
gemeinsam in einer Band gespielt hätten und bei Ilja Richter in der "Disco"
aufgetreten wären? "The Friecks" erzählt vom Aufstieg und Fall einer Rockband in den
70ern, von Drogenexzessen, Supermodels und Mutterkomplexen.
