July - July 180 gram vinyl lp (due to size and weight, this price for the USA only. Outside of the USA, the price will be adjusted as needed)

SKU 18-Guess 080
This is a classic UK psychedelic album which has double interest for 60s/70s music fans due to its high quality, as well as featuring the first appearances by Tom Newman (UK engineer famous for many great Virgin albums) as well as Jade Warrior's Tony Duhig and Jon Field (the soul and heart of that band). A classic of 1968 British psych!

"One of the all-time great psych albums—originally issued on the Major Minor label in the UK, and on Epic in the USA, in 1968; there's no way to overstate the excellence of the album, with it's eerie psych style (check out, for example, 'Dandelion Seeds' and 'Hallo to Me'), Indian-influenced chord sequences, heavily reverb-laden vocals, plus expert studio trickery (tape loops/phasing, etc.) of uncommon brilliance from producer/solo artist Tom Newman, and Jade Warrior's Tony Duhig and Jon Field; becomes more of a classic with each passing year. Guerssen Records is proud to release on vinyl an essential album to anyone with a minimum interest for psychedelic music. You know the lot, very rare UK 1968 album originally on the Major Minor label featuring psych classics such as ‘Dandelion seeds’ or ‘My clown’. This is the definitive vinyl reissue of this beauty, with 180g vinyl, high-quality carton cover with old-style back-flaps, a fantastic 4-page insert with photos and extensive liner-notes by UK psych authority David Wells, and even a full-colour reproduction of the rare as hell original promo poster!"

"July has come to be highly prized, mainly for the presence of 'My Clown,' which is considered to be one of the great psychedelic singles of all time. Tom Newman, who went on to glory as the engineer of choice for Mike Oldfield, handles the vocals for the majority of the album, as well as the majority of the songwriting. Tony Duhig, who later moved on to start Jade Warrior and Assagai, provides guitars and a strong sense of Indian music, although the greater part of his participation is via warbling and groaning guitars ... Very good psychedelia..."-Steven McDonald/All Music Guide
