RELEASE DATE

Vinilisssimo present a reissue of
Euphoria
's self-titled debut album, originally released in 1969. Music genres are labeled for a good reason. They can be of great help when it comes to putting sounds into a few words. This terrific album is usually filed with the "sunshine" tag on it and it is hard to think of a better way to describe the dazzlingly bright songs recorded in 1969 by this American band. The core of the group was formed by
Roger
and
Wendy
, an acoustic duo that was a regular performer at New York City's Greenwich Village scene of folk clubs. Two more members,
Tom Pacheco
and
Sharon Alexander
, joined them in Euphoria during their brief existence. The band signed to Heritage Records and recorded this fantastic self-titled debut, featuring songs mostly written by Tom Pacheco and led vocally by Roger and Wendy. Their music was built around radiant vocal harmonies and solid arrangements, echoing artists such as
The Mamas & The Papas
,
Free Design
, and
The 5th Dimension
, but with a distinctive lysergic edge. "There Is Now", the opening track, is a beautiful example of the psych twist that eventually spiced up the strongest songs of the album, as is "Ride The Magic Carpet". On the other hand, "Tucson" or "You Must Forget" are dreamy folk numbers that show the band's smoother side. The catchy "Calm Down" makes you wonder about Euphoria's commercial appeal if they had been strongly backed by promotional efforts. However, by the time the LP came out in 1969, this kind of folk-pop sound had become out of fashion, and with live performances of top-selling artists such as
Van Morrison
,
Iron Butterfly
, or
Sly & The Family Stone
, it did not reach decent sales figures. Euphoria disbanded shortly after their only album was released and two new different projects followed,
Bermuda Triangle
and
Pacheco & Alexander
, pursuing more contemporary sounds. Presented in facsimile gatefold sleeve and pressed on 180 gram vinyl.
