“ORIGINAL PRESSING FROM 1974! Self-recorded in 1971 & ’72, Michael Lee Yonkers has often been referred to as Michaels "country” album. It is many folks’ favorite of his early works, and is likely the weirdest. The roughhewn quality of these recordings has caused listeners to make comparisons with other “real people” outsiders like Grudzien and the Holy Modal Rounders, but there are more obvious, well-known comparisons (Townes Van Zandt) that are at least as appropriate. There are clear references to various classic country stylings in these songs, even as Michaels unique distillation of their influence lends a delightfully skewed mischievousness to the proceedings. Released in 1974 and rescued from deep inside Yonks’ storage space/weirdo museum. While they last!” - Treehouse. Some have minor storage wear/dinged corners. Best copies go first.. these have had shrink removed but are 'new'/unplayed.
