Hot Off The Press = Papersleeve = (CD)
News, Hot Off The Press. It's a strikingly professional private press release from a couple of Yalies and friends circa 1974. The album sounds like nothing else yet it's easy to describe -- just imagine the harmonies and warm vibes of the post-Pet Sounds Beach Boys, with ripping tight steel guitar instead of Van Dyke Parks. Main songwriter (& present-day market guru) Bob Prechter and a team of top engineers painstakingly restored the best available source materials to create what is undoubtedly one of the most pulverizing releases we'll ever do -- this thing rocks. Just get past the album's first track & one excess, a stoned joke about "radio blahs" that goes on too long, and blast off for a virtuoustic trip that had nothing to do with the disco-ized fashions of 1974 and sounds today like what it is, a timeless slice of pure music, no pretensions or angst -- just rock. Fans of private press psych rarities will be blown away by how good this album is! Features 24 bit mastering, detailed liner notes, and two previously unreleased bonus tracks.
