Exact repro, gatefold sleeve, 180 gram vinyl. "Their first album originally released in 1968, out of New York City. Original artwork reproduced. Think New York ESP free jazz meets San Francisco psychedelia via UK folk. Semblances to Fairport Convention, Janis Joplin, Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane and all points between. Sax player Bob Palmer later resurfaced as highly-lauded rock critic Robert Palmer."

ASH 3012CD
Combining elements of rock, jazz, bluegrass, soul, Dixieland, folk, ragga, blues and practically every genre there is,
The Insect Trust
's classic debut (recorded in 1968) reveals one major difference between them and almost all other U.S. psych bands of the time -- while the majority were in thrall to Eastern sounds, they sound resolutely homegrown. Despite featuring banjos, fiddles and bottleneck guitars, the band still sounded absolutely contemporary, with superb tunes, gorgeous vocals and some mindblowing freakout passages. Tuneful, intelligent and highly musical, they truly forged something new out of the past, and this is one of the most beguilingly strange and original rock albums ever recorded. Housed in a unique gatefold card-wallet format in a numbered edition of 1000.
