"Erica Pomerance is a Canadian documentary filmmaker, poet and singer songwriter. In December, 1968, she assembled a diverse group of musicians to record her debut album, with engineering by Onno Scholtze. The late Trevor Koehler played alto sax. Gail Pollard, now also deceased, played flute. Dion Grody, Lanny Brooks and Craig Justen, of Octopus fame, assisted. Billy Mitchel, the legendary guitar virtuoso, Don Coopersmith, Ron Price on lead guitar, Richie Heissler on rhythm guitar, and Tom Moore on flute, an eclectic mix of classical, improvisational, folk and rock musicians. 'You Used To Think is one of those rarities of pure inspiration that rates up there with first platters by the MC5, Stooges, Fugs, Velvet Underground, Silver Apples, Godz, Pearls Before Swine, etc... a classic '68 underground album: a collage of fucked-up eastern ragas, jazz, and atonal folk rock, delivered in a beautiful, raspy, feverish, drug-induced howl, featuring the poetry and singular voice of Erica Pomerance. ESP produced more than its share of outsider visions and here was an album more like a situation, that peeked inside and outside the bullcrap of the music world and the various genres it endlessly pumps out.' -- Dimmu Borghild. Manufactured in the USA by the original label. New digipak format."

"Recorded at the tail end of 1968, this densely packed album, rooted in blues-laden acid folk, is gradually dominated by a more free-form, jazz-influenced style of vocal innovation which brings the album to its frantic climax. While remaining firmly linked to a lyrical base, Pomerance's primitive wails and shrieks shatter the traditional acid folk mold. Singing in French on 'The Slippery Morning', the versatile vocalist is also responsible for the rhythm guitar and hand drumming heard on the eastern influenced 'We Came Via'. Original artwork. 180 gram HQ vinyl."
