Αφού ξεκινήσαμε την μέρα μας δυνατά ας την συνεχίσουμε. Επόμενη επιλογή οι Καναδοί Bent Wind μόνο που αυτή τη φορά έχουμε να κάνουμε με πιο ψυχεδελικά ακούσματα αλλά εξίσου «βαριά». Υπάρχουν οι rock στιγμές (Sacred Cows ), οι μελωδικές (Look At Love) αλλά και οι garage-ψυχελικές (Touch Of Red, The Lions), προσφέροντας γενικά ένα πλουραλισμό στο Lp.
Πριν αρκετά χρόνια είχα αγοράσει την επανέκδοση της ACME (AC8004LP, την κόπια 326 από τις 500 που βγήκαν) που βλέπεται στην φωτό. Το ένθετο (σε μέγεθος εξώφυλλου) fπεριέχει τους στίχους των κομματιών.
Labels:
"Sussex" 1970 (Trend t-1015) [300p] "Sussex" 1984 (Heyoka 201, UK)"Sussex" 1992 (Del Val 007) [+2 tracks; 350p]"Sussex" 199 (Acme, UK) [altered b/w paste-on sleeve; +1 track; lyric insert]"Sussex" 199 (CD Kissing Spell, UK) [+2 tracks; altered sleeve]"Sussex" 199 (CD Green Tree) [+5 tracks]"The Lost Ryerson Tapes" 2005 (CD Psychedome) [+6 tracks]
"Sussex" is one of the original Holy Grails of the LP collector scene and a wellknown artefact due to a number of reissues. The most expensive of all Canadian rarities with a $5000+ price tag. The music is heavy underground psychrock with a killer basement sound and some awesome tracks like "Riverside", "Hate" and "The lions". Not the greatest LP ever to me, but definitely essential. According to the band, only 300 copies were pressed, while the non-LP 45 was pressed in 500. Modern recordings include "The Fourth Line Is" (1989) and "Shadows On The Wall" (1996). The Psychedome CD is a complete reissue of the original LP in strong sound, plus 4 excellent live tracks from 1970, and the two 45 tracks. There is also a bonus CD with modern recordings featuring main guy Marty Roth. [PL]A little overhyped, but still a worthwhile album. The overall sound is a neat cross between garage rock and heavy psych. It has a real basement (as in “that’s where they buried the bodies”) vibe, with tons of fuzz guitar and reverb, desperate vocals, and often disturbing lyrics. The highlights are the album’s two grisliest songs, “Riverside” and “Hate.” While the other songs aren’t quite at that level, there aren’t any real duds either. It sounds like it was recorded far earlier than the usually accepted 1969 or 1970 release date. The CD reissue contains a strong B-side and also some surprisingly good 90s recordings.
