Really wild, psychotic, exotic, progressive psychedelic beast from Brazil -- all those attributes in an extreme way! Long freaked-out tracks driven by furious organ and massive fuzz -- wahwah guitar assaults, also added distorted vocals (Portuguese lyrics) that creep deep inside your cranium -- one of the best ever! Original triple gatefold cover is EX with no seam splits or writing! The disc is a nice VG++ with only a minimal amount of light sleeve scuffs present and it plays great! Truly a great ORIGINAL copy from down there!





Oddly, each copy found of the album seemed to come with its own unique set of inserts, such as old newspaper clippings, handbills, or poorly xeroxed photos, in various combinations. From this paraphernalia it appeared that the mysterious LP was connected to the 1970 festival at Laguna Beach. Additional newspaper clippings dug up by a California musicologist at a local library provided details on the long-forgotten “Happening”, but still offered no clues as to what the actual music heard on the album was, or when or by whom it was released. An Orange County newspaper back in 1970 mentioned a few participating bands such as Sound Spectrum and Primal Scream, as well as the aforementioned Sea & East Utopian Mission, but gave no details of their performances. As detailed below, the last track on side 1 is Sea & East Utopian Mission, and it appears that another track on the LP features a local band named Live Wire (see band member comment further down). It must bementioned that “100% Unknown Fibers” is a primitive recording with questionable sound quality, even as private pressings go. It’s likely to be an audience tape, rather than from soundboard. The music is mostly jammy acid-rock typical of the era, predominantly instrumental workouts on Hendrix and Cream riffs, with lots of raw fuzz leads and some vocals. One track has a trancey folkrock feeling, including flute. All over it is reminiscent of some of the Yahowa 13 basement jams, like those heard on “I’m Gonna Take You Home”, minus Father Yod. There’s some nice grooves and feedback soloing here and there. It’s hard to determine how many different groups are featured on the album, but my guess is that it’s at least four different outfits, as the mixing and soundscapes differ, even while most of them are stylistically similar. A high point of the LP is the inclusion of several microphone raps from the Laguna Greeter and others, including the plea for Thorazine quoted above. One guy goes into a hostile rant about war, Nixon and Angela Davis, before being cut off with the reminder that the festival is about “love, not aggression”. The stage announcements combine with the crowd ambience, hovering police helicopters, and raw, improvised music to capture a moment in time, warts and all. Beyond these immediate impressions, the release of the “100% Unknown Fibers” LP remained a mystery. According to an insert sheet, the music had been selected from “72 hours” of recordings, and the performers were “100% unidentified”. The newspaper articles, both old and recent, contained no references to any album release. The prevalent theory was that the record had been put together as a side-project by a local bootlegger, an industry which had its ground zero in the L A/Orange County area. Cover is M-! Disc is M-! BEAUTIFUL NEAR MINT COPY...THE BEST I HAVE EVER SEEN!!! This copy has no inserts. I've had three different copies of this in the past and none had inserts. A true period piece!

Very rare and obscure private press hard biker blues rock LP recorded sometime in the 1970's. This album is documented in the excellent book The Acid Archives which documents and reviews obscure private press albums from the 60's and 70's. Acid Archives review:
"...ultimate kingpin White trash real people biker rock with male/female vocals, guitar, bass and drums. One of the crudest covers ever with a black and white photo collage of the greasy fat band members and the unattractive female singer wearing a "Spoiled Rotten" T-Shirt. "Motorcycle Rider" "Hey, Good Lookin Mama", "Baby", "Don't Ya Throw It Away" "Sunday morning Blues". This is the real deal and one of the scariest private pressings I have ever come across." Cover is a nice EX, no splits or writing. The disc is near mint with only a couple of light lines on side one that you can see but not feel or hear. The vinyl exhibits a brilliant gloss and it plays loud and clear!

"Only known copy of what appears to be a school project LP. My review in The Acid Archives (for which this copy was used) describes this best:
Mystery possible college project LP with different vocalists and instrumental combos. All apparent originals except the opener, a very primitive “That’ll Be the Day” ith good thumping bass line, and “Loch Lomond” sung with a bad faux-Scottish burr but with a good rocking mandolin/trumpet/heavy bass/ drums backing.
Among the originals, Side 1 stand-outs are “Strawberry Days”, a hippie goddess folk rocker with angelic dual female vocals and a heavy electric guitar rhythm; “Right On”, a psychy folk rocker which has the sound of a teenage Bob Edmund, complete with garagy organ/drum backing; and “Go With the Game”, a rocker with a slightly funky rhythm guitar and bass line, a secondary trumpet melody and a Lee Oskar War-like harmonica solo.
Side 2 highlights include “Smile At the Sun”, with a mellow Annie Haslam style vocal and jazz-tinged electric keyboard backing (a bit reminiscent of early Steely Dan - think “Do It Again”); “KS Rebellion” a male vox folk song with odd lyrics (“Go fight your battle, Go herd your cattle”); and “the closing “Vida Blues”, a thumping bass blues jam with cool dixieland style trumpet leads and a wailing harmonica solo or two."
