ELLIOT, STEVE - S/T

Elefantplatte Records is proud to present the 1969 private press loner folk lp by NYC musician Steve Elliot. Possessed of a raw, nasal, emotionally charged vocal style, Elliot spins tales of madness, death and regret, sounding simultaneously defeated and hopeful. Elliot is backed with bass, piano & wind instruments by later sidemen to Earth Opera, Tom Paxton & David Bowie( ! ). The album was presumably given away free (if the cover stencil is to be believed), and needless to say, is hideously rare. But through the magic of Elefantplatte", this lost gem is now available to all. Housed in a mini-lp style cardboard jacket, with color cover & full lyric sheet. 7 tracks, 31 minutes." - Elefantplatte.
