    A super album. Never heard of them back in the late 60's. Only have heard of them within the last 7 or so years. Earl Bailey played them in the "Black Light Room" on Sirius XM. Now stuff like this is only played occasionally by Earl on Deep Tracks or Classic Vinyl on SXM. Been trying to find NM/NM- copies and found this one at shopclassicvinyl on ebay. This album is truly a buried gem!

      At least 1 more version are released on CD. Probably, or in fact an unofficial. All the credits on this says MM02371.
