Accompanied by an all-star backup group from among the participants, Patty's performances resulted in the album, College Tour, her second recording for ESP Disk.

Format:	LP
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	GET 1055

"Despite her brief musical career (consisting of only two albums released during the mid-sixties), vocal pioneer Patty Waters' managed in that short time to redefine the use of the human voice, while simultaneously exploring the darkest and most anguished corners of the female soul. Her even more daring second album, College Tour, was recorded at one of her live performances shortly thereafter, and features pianists Ran Blake and Burton Greene. Although Waters all but disappeared from the music scene after the late sixties, she was a major influence for many other vocal innovators, including Yoko Ono and Diamanda Galas. Original artwork. 180 gram HQ vinyl."
