CD —THE GROUNDBREAKING L.A. COMBO EQUALLYswayed by moody jazz and Hendrix-style rock 'n'roll—was born to record movie soundtracks. Unfortunately,they cut only one, for the seldom-seen 1969 Jacques Demyfilm Model Shop, but what a triumph it is: a magical blend ofJohn Locke's eerie keyboards, the soaring guitar of RandyCalifornia and Jay Ferguson's impassioned vocals and percussion,backed by the rock-steady bass and drums of MarkAndes and Ed Cassidy.It's mindboggling that something as dazzling as the ModelShop soundtrack—recorded by the classic Spirit lineup—has been languishing unreleased in the vaults for over 35years! The stuff of longplaying-legends and vinyl-myths, thisfull-length album was recorded in late 1968, but the completedmaster was shelved before release.Rescued from obscurity at last by Sundazed, this muchrumored film-score gem is now center-stage where it cantake a much deserved bow.TRACKS: The Moving Van / Mellow Fellow* / Now Or Anywhere / Fog* /Green Gorilla* / Model Shop I* / Model Shop II*/ The RehearsalTheme / Song For Lola (Clear) / Eventide* / Coral* / Aren't You Glad*All tracks marked * are previously unissued versions, making their firstappearance ever on this set!
