The latest piece of plastic in our Rare Vinyl Series is a bit of ancient Ra. Not Sun Ra but the first single issued by the collectable Ra label based in Devon back in 1969 by Frozen Tear which is now a sought after acid folk/psychedelic classic called You Know What Has To Be paired with The Hunter. Limited to 99 copies the single is worth £450 and brings a tear to the eyes of collectors around the world who just can’t find a copy for love or money.
Musically it is a gem. You Know What Has To Be is more acid folk than up and at ‘em psych with a spacey Eastern vibe that really sucks you into its beauty whereas the Hunter is a more direct blues but showcases how tight Frozen Tear were as a band and has a stinging guitar solo by Leeson Burt.
So, rather than shell out nearly 500 notes for an original you are now in the fortunate position of being able to order yourself a copy of the legendary Frozen Tear single .And in keeping with the original pressing we have kept The Hunter is the A side!
