Follies Bazaar - Ten

M-/m- | This is a nice copy of the very rare PRIVATELY PRESSED lp FOLLIES BAZAAR "ten" TEN [follies bazaar records] - from the very obscure acoustic / electric rural psych folk rock collaborative band out of URI [university of rhode island] in KINGSTON, RHODE ISLAND _______ URI is known for having had something called "high noon" - where students would gather and smoke weed together at noon...some of these songs sound like high noon to us - but we also should say that these songs are really well done! the writing, performances AND recordings themselves are all great _______ includes printed cardboard cover with credits and liner notes on back cover _______ this stuff is strangely beautiful and amateur at times, this hippie/folk/psych LP was recorded in the late 1970's by a large entourage of guys and several chicks at NORMANDY SOUND studios in warren, rhode island - and released in early 1980 _______ the music runs the gamut from naive folk songs to jammin' electric boogies to accomplished bluegrass hoedowns - and some songs even have a steely dan jazz rock vibe going on. there are also some nice jams _______ oddly enticing and incredibly hard-to-find _______ this collective began in 1970 at URI as PERSPECTIVE and was renamed FOLLIES BAZAAR after releasing a few really amazing albums. records by both incarnations are listed in the HANS POKORA books and are highly sought after PRIVATE PRESS releases _______ CLOSELY WATCHED TRAINS and RIGHT OF LITTLE REST are also related rhode island communal psych folk groups _______ this lp has 8 SONGS: those kind of people, NO ONE TO BLAME, gonna do it to ya!, STRAIGHT FLUSH, a little off the top, REASON TO BE, my song, SCHOOLBOY TEARS _______ the first song, "THOSE KIND OF PEOPLE" is sort of a DRUG TAKING ANTHEM with the lyrics "we drive real fast on drugs" - with pill-poppin, booze-swillin' references. "A LITTLE OF THE TOP" is a smokin' bluegrass number. several others, especially "STRAIGHT FLUSH" have an excellent GROOVY mellow 70's rock feel _______ PERFORMERS: greg macedo, PETER WIMS, j. david sienko, MARTIN G. SCHWACHA, robert j. hanson, FRANK DIPIETRO, kenny williams, ROBERT A. VOLK, irv pianin, BRIAN McCULLY, andrew potter, WHEELER COLE, dirk van pelt, NEIL CLARK, jim medeiros, MIKE PREISS, perry smith, LEIGH BESSON, ted kutcher, STEVE SHAPIRO, bruce smith - not sure if any of these folks went on to greater things? _______ INSTRUMENTS: ACOUSTIC 12 STRING GUITAR, lots of acoustic + electric guitars, DELAYED FENDER RHODES, lots of vocals, DRUMS and ARTIFACTS, bass guitar, ELECTRIC PIANO, sax, MANDOLINS, piano
