LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

Pressed on coloured vinyl and presented in a special cardboard cover, this is a limited edition (500 copies) reissue of Al Simones' 1994 album. Long revered as a trade secret amongst record dealers and collectors, Simones' music is among the great secrets of the home recording revolution that took root in the late 1980s. Ohio born Al Simones combined his love of '60s and '70s psychedelic rock music with vintage instruments, and produced four highly collectable handmade albums between 1992 and 2009. All of them are filled with intense psychedelic guitar music that invokes the energy and passion of his influences -including Jimi Hendrix and Phil Keaggy of The Glass Harp- whilst also possessing the mystery and spiritual intensity that surrounds '70s US private press legends such as Jeffrey Liberman and Mystic Siva.
