Hi Derek, Maximillan has been in my stash since the 90s. I like the bare bones stripped down sound. It's actually like a demo tape, which probably hurts it for some people. A nice production job would have really elevated the music. Again, I don't totally agree with the Acid Archives review. I never considered the album "Boring". Thanks for your fair review, you did a good job. 👍

The violins on track one are crazy weird ahh. At times this record shows lots of promise ahh. The record is so undeveloped ahh. It seems obvious that the songs are live one take attempts ahh. At times it sounds so inept it could be mistaken for Captain Beefheart ahh. As bad as this is I kind of like ahh.

There's another LP I forgot about - used to see them in the budget bins (@.47 cents each if I remember correctly), had a copy of course - heavy rock but the bellowing, over-blown vocals are what turned me off - therefor never played it much. What I like in black rock is "Black Merda" on Chess Records - wish I had kept that now very rare LP!

It can be a pretty harsh listen for most. I think I like it because of its raw delivery.

Almost like a tax scam record. Crate diggers wanted it for the drum break back in the day.

"Dang Derek..., not for..., I say not for me son!"🐔 Me thinks this dang "Acid Archives" title is becoming a mite misleading, but we'll see.

It fits in the book for me! The US scenes had so many whacked-out, unconventional, second-tier bands. That's what has always made it interesting for me. So you'll find some of the worst, and some of the finest. All are included.

@@PsycheDerek. Totally agree Derek, but how far does one stretch the parameters of what could generally be called Psych, Punk, Garage, et al. I'm pretty sure you've come across Ebay listings, for example, that describes a record as being psych, garage, etc. that I guess one has as his own perception, or is he just trying to sell his record? It's all in the 👂of the listener, I guess.

@@brucster99b2 I think this one fits just fine. Even the "real-people" privates show up. They just resonate those odd atmospheres. I think you see psych being tagged on eBay listings as just tags to try & advertise to a larger audience.

@@PsycheDerek. Bottom line for me is, that it's all good. I'm continually looking out for unknown gems/sleepers, so if I stumble across a source, be it a book, video, or a website review, that's gonna feed my hunger, then fine. Gimmie more! Yum, yum.

The pink vinyl re-issue was actually a Record Store Day release. That's the one I have and remember not liking it. I bought it used for, I think, around $8, without hearing it first. The thing I recall are the bad vocals and seemingly uninspired playing. The Riding Easy re-issue doesn't offer any more insight. It is the same gatefold with their logo, instead of ABC, and a UPC code. The inner sleeve is blank. I've got to get that book!

I think I caught the video when you shared this one. It's not too approachable for sure.
