Crash Coffin -S/T- '74 US PSYCH OHIO - NEW CD

Crash Coffin: Same

NEW CD

RADIOACTIVE RECORDS 

Classic US private psychedelic album from 1974

 CRASH COFFIN Self titled CD (Radioactive)... Crash Coffin is a fellow from Ohio who put together a band and recorded ten of his songs on a local label back in 1970. Crash had a good grasp on singing, storytelling and songwriting as well as a working knowledge of various musical genres. This CD contains "Masochist Blues" and "the Looney Polka" as well as eight others that are not as readily pegged as belonging to a particular musical style. One song, "Freedom Cake," could have given the Lovin' Spoonful some serious competition in the jug band pop field. Crash had a strong and smooth voice with plenty of Elvis that crept in around the edges. This is actually a pretty good record that I've gone back to more than once. I especially like the closing track, a rambling folk pop ditty about Jesus stealing his "Blue Kazoo." Mr. Coffin did individual artwork for the covers of the few copies of the LP that actually made it into the hands of the public because he couldn't afford to have the covers printed. It's a shame because this could have been a popular record with a little support from a label.

Crash Coffin¿s eponymous album was originally released privately in 1974 on the MUS-I-COL label. It is very rare and sought after by early 70s US psychedelic collectors worldwide.

Not unjustly so, since it contains one of the best psychedelic songs ever recorded (God Loves the Loser) and a couple of other great moody psych tracks.
It contains 2 unreleased bonus tracks from the same period.
