Hi
First album by this Ed Ackerson band. I’ll catch hell for this, but I liked Ed’s previous band, the Dig a lot better. I was just never into this band. To each his own though. Ed also went on to some level of success with the post 27 Various project, Polara.
Ed has been in so many bands, and produced so many records, making Ed a powerhouse on the Minneapolis music scene. One of Ed’s greatest accomplishments was the label that he helped start with John Kass, Susstones. The Susstones/Prospective group of labels went on to put out a lot of local Minnesota bands in the 80’s & 90’s. Helping document that, is Ed’s biggest contribution in my mind. More than that though, he and John supported a whole scene of 60’s influenced rock/pseudo-psychedelia in Minnesota and beyond.
Anyway, this is what Twin/Tone has to say about the album:
Ed Ackerson : vocals, guitar, sitar, keyboards
Jed Mayer : drums
Jay Orff : bass, vocals
Jerry Lefkowitz : guitar, vocals
Produced by James Harrington and Ed Ackerson
Engineered by Scott Tuttle
Recorded at The Underground, Minneapolis
(Fall-Winter 1986)
Originally released by John Kass (Prospective Records) on his Susstones label. It was released on Vinyl only. This record is now out of print.
