Repress of 250 copies. The first official vinyl reissue of a top Canadian psych rock record from 1969. Comes with full colour insert, featuring band history and photos. In the spring of 1969, 49th Parallel had a hit with 'Twilight Woman', a lovely song that sounds like a poppier version of what bands like Tomorrow were doing in England. That success led to the release of 49th Parallel's only album. The album is strong throughout, from the pulsating psychedelia of 'Lazerander Filchy' and the ultra-strange '(The) Magician', the shimmering beauty of 'Twilight Woman', to the quintessential slashing guitars punk edginess of 'Now That I'm A Man' and '(Come On Little Child And) Talk To Me'. Dan Lowe's blazing fuzz guitar work stands out on 'Missouri' and also when matched by organist Jack Velker's brilliant work on 'Eye To Eye', 'Talk To Me' and '(The) People'.
Also available: 49TH PARALLEL (CD).
