A SUPERB VINYL REISSUE, officially licensed from the group. Limited one-time LP pressing, including EXACT REPRODUCTIONS OF THE GROUP'S TWO NON-ALBUM 45s, a 4-page insert and liner notes!

The Contents Are was a garagey folk-rock band from Quad City, Iowa that released two singles and a privately pressed album in 1967. Ever since an original copy of the LP mysteriously appeared at a 2005 Austin record convention, this title's reputation has grown sky high, and not without reason. The LP features 13 band originals in a terrific 'Rubber Soul'-era Beatles fashion, with a sprinkling of Byrds on top. In other words: this is where beat and folk merge into mild psychedelia! Given the fact that the four members were still in high school, this is a surprisingly accomplished effort, both for the songwriting and musicianship. The band's two non-album 45s, both of which are included here as exact reproductions, were originally released on the ROK label. These two 7-inches see their first ever reissues on vinyl. (Previously only available as CD bonus tracks). Let this vinyl splendour turn you on to new horizons!
