and from 1971, the re-issue LP
Roots Of Madness
 "The Girl In The Chair"
As described by Matt Valentine for joint issue on his Child Of Microtones label and the DeStijl label of Minneapolis:
1971 heavy private press free blues/psych from the left coast cortical geo zone of the US underground chain spearheaded by Don Campau and essentially the Californian amalgam of the Gate 5 as ESP disk punk/jazz 3rd eye. A higher key farrago of hypercosmic extended runs that oscillate between the tubular philosophy of the Sun City Girls sound/art and the aloneness of stoned blues concréte. A refreshing lost artifact of pure American fizz resurrected from the iconoclasm void and perfectly reissued in a joint effort from De Stijl and Child Of Microtones. An essential LP for anyone concerned with the paramount energy fields of all the above ground sound subterrains.
Couldn't believe my eyes....
Limited edition exact reproduction of this classic avant suburban 1971 release from San Jose, California. This predates Los Angeles Free Music Society or Negativland. LP $20 postpaid.
While they last!

End". Order a copy of this limited edition CD before they are confiscated and burned. Freedom good, terror bad. $6 CDR
