Hard to find very early Deborah Harry in the psychedelic era
The music is great psychedelica from the late 60's - very flower power, peace-love-dove stuff, paisley tops and the standard greeting was Hey Man (often said with a weedy strung out dreamlike voice) not Bro!
But add to the mix the fact that this is one of Deborah Harry's very early beginnings in the world of music, just after her stint as a go-go dancer, waitress and a Playboy bunny. Deborah is a sweet young 23 year old on this album, well before she met Chris Stein.
She is a backup singer on this album but listen carefully and you can hear her distinctive voice shine through.

This record has been unplayed, until I removed the factory seal (I wanted to her Deborah sing)
You will notice the hole punched through the cover on the front top left corner - this means it was a deletion from the retail record store...back in the 60's early 70's no-one wanted this record so the shop returned it to the distributor.
Of course there is no hole in the vinyl!
Unipak cover is in very good condition, light creasing to the left hand side and the obvious deletion hole mentioned above.
Unipak are those covers that have the record opening INSIDE the cover, stupid idea but there you go...
Original new paper sleeve
Vinyl is in excellent condition, visually excellent and of course I had to play both sides - a great listen as well. Helps if you change into your flared pants, paisley shirt and do some weeding....
New outer protective sleeve
