The Jarvis Street Revue – Singles [And More] (Vinyl LP)

Extremely limited vinyl LP pressing including insert that includes band history, photos, and images of sheet music for several songs. This is the first vinyl release for the band's incredible singles since their initial pressings in 1970/71 (Side A) and first time on vinyl for all other tracks (Side B). Jarvis Street Revue's only album (1970), Mr. Oil Man, is an absolute heavy psychedelic monster that leaves no one who hears it untouched by its sheer avalanche of psychedelic heaviness, wasted acid leads and great vocals. After recording it, Jarvis Street Revue toured for three months. "We were treated like gods," Jarvis leader and Neil Young running mate Tom Horricks said. The band did a cross-Canada tour to promote the album but unfortunately for them, as was often the case in those days, the album was not released until after the tour. So much for stardom. The band soon broke up. But tucked somewhere in the band's murky history were recording sessions that produced three stupendous psychedelic singles, plus tracks for an unreleased second album, Strands of Time." Sure, those singles and strays appeared on the Jarvis Street Revue CD, but most tracks make their vinyl debut here; as for the incredible, rare singles, they've never been compiled until this very moment!
