Year 2000 reissue of this heralded private press folk album, recorded in Philadelphia in 1970. Branded as the first "acid folk" album, this is one of the most rewarding discovers of semi-recent private press mania. "The 1960s generated a lot of great folk musicians: Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Tim Hardin, Tim Buckley, Eric Anderson, and Phil Ochs to name a few. And this music reflected the social and political commentary of their day. They also greatly influenced these developing musicians just a few years behind them in age -- Perry Leopold was one such example. He grew up in Philadephia listening to the songs of those days and began to write his own music at age 15. The music is splendid, fresh, and full of hte political and social arrogance many of us were feeling during those turbulent times. It is truly an historical bookmark in folk music."

2010 restock, originally released in 2000. "The title is not a contradiction in terms. Rather, it is a beautifully done and previously unreleased LP from 1972. Although still very psychedelic, like his first LP Experiment in Metaphysics, this material is enhanced with the use of bass, 6 and 12 string guitar, piano, electric guitar, strings, flute, and the very tasteful use of percussion and harmonies. The Clavinet player on this album (formerly with Uriah Heep) commented that this experience had 'fulfilled the promise of psychedelia in a way nothing had before'."
