VISIONS OF SUNSHINE - Self-titled 1970 Prog / Folk CD

VISION OF SUNSHINE

Vision Of Sunshine

Catalogue no. KISCD4010

• Californian hippie folk classic

• Originally released in early 1970

• First time on CD

‘A beautiful and sometimes quite complex progressive folk LP, with lush arrangements built around hand percussion, cello and flutes… Quite the lost gem’ – Endless Trip

‘Typical of the Californian hippie groups: good male and female vocals and sophisticated arrangements, using various keyboards and flutes’ – Fuzz, Acid & Flowers

‘If you’re a sucker for weird Xian psych-folk bands, which I am, I have a feeling you’ll dig this’ – Waxidermy

This youthful Californian quintet taped their sole LP at Hollywood’s legendary Sunset Sound Recorders in 1969. Led by singer-songwriter Gerald Hauser (later to achieve fame as the actor Wings Hauser), they performed complex hippie folk with arrangements incorporating cello, flute, harpsichord, electric guitar and more. Originally issued in early 1970, the album has been hailed as a lost classic, and makes its long-overdue CD debut here.
