Нello All!

Залит Victoria/(1971)_Victoria

Рок-археология.
Совершенно неизвестная группа из Нью-Джерси.
Выпустили вот этот промоушенал диск в колличестве 200 экземпляров, в надежде на контракт с каким-лиюо лейблом. Надежды не оравдались и группа канула в Лету.
По музыке - это типичная американская психоделия с основным женским вокалом (там вообще - три тёлки и парень), с дудками и даже с чтением стихов под музыку (вот это, кстати, звучит интересно). В остальном - ровно ничего особенного.
Забавно: на этом, полупиратском сидюке, в названии нескольких треков написано "real-to-real" вместо "reel-to-reel".
Рекомендуется только археологам.

Locally New Jersey demo release (200 made), beyond rare fantastic concept psych beauty, maybe 5 or 6 known copies. 3 girls 1 guy. They tried to get attention from big labels but this never happend. They wanted him to sound like Blood Sweat & Tears. But this was not Greg's idea of music. The music has everything you need, like a wild version of early Moby Grape combined with New Dawn and C.A. Quintet, sometimes dreamy sometimes totally wild underground-psych, with female vocals and splattering leads, Titanic horns & destorted guitars. Sweet tunes turn into dark psychpower. TOTALLY STONED!!

Super rare US psych concept album that has a Neighbr'hood Childr'n feel. This psych beauty, sometimes dreamy sometimes totally wild has female vocals, titanic horns & distorted guitars. Sweet tunes turn into dark psych-power. Greg Ruban, the composer and front-man of Victoria recorded this album just before he had to go to Vietnam. When he returned from War, obviously mentally fucked, he took his unreleased album on a 3 month trip to Europe on a motorbike to promote it, but unfortunately that did not work out at all. The album was unreleased until only a few years ago.
