I don't 'collect' records in the sense of building a portfolio of valuable items, and my 'wants list' is really just a reminder to myself of
records I've enjoyed hearing or would like to hear; of course I'd buy any of them at regular 2nd Hand prices.
Classic Rock Magazine review explains:
"The band's second and final album "This Is... Gracious!!" was rejected by Vertigo. It eventually found a release on on the budget international series offshoot of Philips.
"Overall "This Is... Gracious!!" is far superior to that debut, Side one consists of Super Nova, a 22-minute suite in four parts, of which the epic Blood Red Sun (the original intended album title for Vertigo) is surely the band's finest moment. Brooding, doomy song with a multitude of Mellotron sounds used to full effect, it's a monster - certainly their heaviest number - and brings to mind early King Crimson and underground legends Czar"
Many interesting credits on this: Tom Waits, voice of Tommy The Cat; "Les Claypool "Les (Claypool) plays (luthier) Carl Thompson basses and had his head tattooed by Theo Jak". Accordeon molestation by Matt Winegas (Claypool?)
Jerry Was A Race Car Driver was the hit taken from the album [YouTube Video]
