fun palace

Deeply mysterious sound collage of drifting, trippy acoustic instrumentals, heart-breaking hippy songs, west-coast inflected folk-rock, stoned mutterings, Bonzo Dog-like parodies and experimental psychedelia.

A satisfying and cohesive Underground, Acid Folk monument. A member and four copies briefly surfaced 5 years ago when a now defunct record dealer offered one on ebay.

He confirmed around 20 copies were made, less than ten with sleeves, in 1969, in Bristol. Reference points include: Incredible String Band, John Martyn, Bonzo Dog Band, early Krautrock, Freud, Bert Jansch, Synanthesia, Orange Sunshine, Brown Rice.

Fully laminated sleeve, NO BARCODE, features inner with lyrics and replica original labels, designed by the immortal Bobby Blisters. Mastered by Reynolds Mastering, the kings of reconstruction and pressed on the old EMI Presses by Vinyl Factory for maximum quality. As always pressing run limited to 227.
