YONKERS, MICHAEL - Grimwood

"When considering Grimwood, it'd be a mistake to not also give thought to Microminiature Love. Recorded in 68 for Sire, MML languished unreleased until the spring of 2002, when we unearthed it swank on wax (later reissued as a Sub Pop CD). Called the greatest psych record of the 60s by more than a few, it's no stretch to say that had it materialized, it would've altered the lay of the land. Tho recorded in 69, Yonkers privately released Grimwood in 74, along with 3 other recs: Goodby Sunball (recorded in 71), Michael Lee Yonkers (72) and a duo with Jim Woehrle (73), borders of my mind. If they sold at all, they sold horribly. There is a photo inside Sub Pop's MML CD of Yonkers throwing copies of Grimwood up in the air, as they'd seemingly become disposable, as well as a heavy burden to lug around. Enterprising rec collectors have had a run on Grimwood for some time and its been impossible to affordably obtain. So here it is, remastered, digitized and priced for the people".
