EZRDR 149LP

"It's 1970 and this beast of an LP nails the moment psychedelic '60s haze faded into early bad ass hard rock. Edge take it other places as well, brief progressive flashes, medieval folk pop, even -- ambitious and concise on every track. No excess baggage, killer arrangements shot through with ripping guitar, moody organ and hooks to spare. The Edge LP always pulled premium collector $$ and your ears will tell you why! Edge was formed by members from two L.A. bands that both had psychedelic pop LPs issued on the obscure Flick-Disc label in 1968, a 'hip' subsidiary of MGM. Richard Barcellona and John Keith from the American Revolution and David Novogroski from the Boston Tea Party along with Gallen Murphy make up the guitar/organ/bass/drums quartet lineup. Richard Barcellona is also responsible for the amazing lead guitar on the Seeds 1972 single 'Shuckin'' and Jivin', so this LP is Seeds related, always a notable detail when talking L.A. rock history. Cue it up and hold on to your seat, you're in for quite a ride during the next 28 minutes of your life!"
