Label:	B-MUSIC
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	BMS 002CD

Domestic US version (previously issued by Finders Keepers in the UK). Slipcase packaging, with a pull-quote from Wendyt Flower! "Susan Christie was a Philly-based sophomore folk singer who had one novelty hit for a major label and never quite recovered...and afterwards, her psychedelic take on country standards and hand crafted tales of inner-city solitude that was backed by a break heavy folk-funk rhythm section was never accepted as a commercial viability by record company big-wigs: they obviously couldn't quite muster their 'Nostradamus' sensibilities to foresee what future hip-hop producers and DJs would be feeding into digital music-machines 30 years down the line! Luckily three-fifths of a handful (literally three!) privately pressed vanity copies were manufactured in early 1970, one of which became the source material for this B-Music release, nesting in the Finders Keepers' ever-expanding library of obscure, obtuse, obsolete and obsessive vintage music from the '60s and '70s. The uber-legend John Hill (who penned the mind-blowing acid rock floor-filler 'Love Love Love Love Love' for Wool) produced this release: which features 8 tracks including a twelve minute drugsploitation epic called 'Yesterday - Where's My Mind,' featuring the enigmatic Susan flipping vocal styles between Janis Joplin and Margo Guryan (who was in fact a close friend of Susan's at the time of recording......)"
