Hi Vultures,

Psych Hare Krishna enquiry...............
I have had this lp for a number of years now and never thought too much about it until I saw a review on this site.

is it really as rare as they say?

Cheers,

Ha! I should've known someone on this board would know this LP. I've avoided it for years cause it seemed to be everywhere (and for some reason thought it was related to that Boy George Hari Krishna thing! ) but in desperation at my chazza haul or lack thereof I nabbed a copy yesterday.

I can't see it being described as psych (or that great catch all 'acid folk'!) as it's a pretty straightforward devotional LP with a bit of nice folk and a bit of awful chanty stuff. Not a patch on Golden Avatar or Blue Aquarius in the eastern-cult music stakes though!

Now where's my tambourine?

I agree with Sergio Paradise. The femme vocals really aren't the kind that transport one to that special place, imo, unless you like to be slightly irritated there.

And I can't imagine why they think it's so phenomenally rare. Unless somehow we're talking about two different records with the same title and same kind of music...

Australian press was a foc, but origional New Zealand is not.

Why not "GF" for gatefold? We don't really talk too much about our girlfriends so there sholdn't be any confusion

With some danger of getting in trouble with a fellow swede... let me say that Subliminal Sounds is really trying to push the prices up as high as they can go and who's to blame him really? Just don't buy if you don't like the prices... however trying to use the site as a priceguide or rarity barometer can be quite fatal...
