| (limited issue of legendary recordings by this Detroit based band feat. Ted Lucas (one album released on OM Records in the early 70's!) Sid Brown (of later Peace Bread & Land fame!!) and Richard Keelan ... escaping to Canada to dodge the draft and help forming one of the more authentic (in the sense of sticking to aquarian runes in U.S. post-war sub-cult soil long after many of its heroes ceased to water plants and let their poodles graze peacefully in the gardens outside the walls of the Pent-a-Gone) bands of the times: Perth County Conspiracy Does Not Exist! well, the music here is a truly fascinating testimony from the vaults of yore finally washed ashore ... imagine Dick Farina having the east-west Paul Butterfield for backing band and holding a dead candle in one and an incense-stick in the other hand ...; incl. a different version of "strange mysterious sounds" (their single release) and the haunting "Portland town" is based on "morning dew" as for vybe 'n rhyme! Sid Brown wrote some liner-notes on the back of the thick card-board cover which also has an 8-page booklet!!!) |

"atomic boogie" is dynamo-spawned tongue-in-sheek (?)
