SANDSTONE - CAN YOU MEND A SILVER THREAD? (EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA 1971) Jap/Korean mastering cardboard sleeve + 2 bonus
Little-known private folk psych trip that's head and shoulders above almost every other US folk psych record. It's hard to believe it's not from the UK, as it's instrumentation and compositional style remind you of Mellow Candle, Pentangle, Midwinter, etc. Recorded in 1971 at a local studio that must have been quite high end, because the production quality is astounding. Lyrically poetic, haunting primarily female vocals, and with entirely original compositions, this is every inch a mindblowing US private press and creates a dreamy, wistful mood typical of the style. From the cover to the instrumentation to the deeply strange and lovely lyrics, this may be my all-time fave US folk psych private. Maybe the truest US folk psych you've yet found. -Limited Edition -Paper Sleeve -2008 Original re-master(24-bit) -Photo and liner notes -2 bonus tracks -First on CD.

Many thankx for this record.
love this record, thanks much
Wow - phenomenonal record! I was completely unaware of it. What's surprising is the assuredness of every track. It sounds like the third album, on the Island label, of an established British act, extending their reach after years on the UK folk club circuit. If only their songs had been a little more memorable (and in tune ("Jamies Song" wanders alarmingly between keys at the end)) maybe things would have been different for Sandstone. Thanks! Wonderful post!
I gotta hear this. I recognize several of the liner-note names, and the studio is in my region of Pennsylvania. I might have known Mario Grella durng my HS days. Didn't know a thing about this until now.
Greetings to you all!
I just wanted to to introduce myself to all of you. I am sure that we all will make excellent conversations together!
