Title:
The Complete ESP-Disk' Recordings
Label:
ESP-DISK
Format:
CD
Price:
$17.00
Catalog #:
ESPDISK 4003CD
2010 repress. Both classic ESP albums (
One Nation Underground
and
Balaklava
) on one disc. Extensive booklet with new liner notes, complete lyrics. "Tom Rapp, an 18 year-old draft resistor and college dropout living in Eaugallie, Florida, sent a small unsolicited reel of tape to ESP. Bernard Stollman invited him to bring his musicians to New York, where they recorded their acclaimed debut,
One Nation Underground
in 1967. Less than a year later, they released the equally strong follow-up,
Balaklava
. Classics of the genre, which certainly would have seen wider attention had ESP survived past 1968, these recordings are getting a well-deserved second chance, thanks to a thorough remastering, under the supervision of Tom Rapp."

Previously available in the

These Things Too
was Pearls Before Swine's third album (and their first for Reprise), originally released in 1969. Dreamy psychedelia, organic American folk songs, political and social utopias, personal brokenness and transformation, country-rock, and pure beatific vision are the elements that create Tom Rapp's sonic architecture here." Liner notes by Nick Saloman.

"Pearls Before Swine's fourth and last Warner/Reprise album originally released in 1971. Ten Tom Rapp originals, plus a beautiful cover of Leonard Cohen's 'Bird On A Wire'. There is a dark angel's purity in these songs and all of them are of a piece musically and philosophically linked with all of the others." Liner notes by Joe Phillips.
