RTA version limited to 500 copies on black vinyl. A newly remastered edition of this Canadian folk/psych classic - perfect dreamy, sunshine-infused pop psychedelia with a folk bent, originally released by independent Canadian label Allied Records in 1968. When Lion Productions first issued this terrific album many years ago, the booklet featured the few scraps of information on the band they could find. They challenged "anyone out there" to find some information on this elusive and intriguing band. Well, they're pleased that someone took them up on that offer, and that the specific someone was band leader Tom Waschkowski (credited on the album as Tom Martin). He graciously offered a band history, lyrics, and some terrific photos. This allows Lion and RTA to offer up as perfect a reissue of this album as humanly possible. The Folklords' 'Release The Sunshine' is a captivating album, a notion shared by the many collectors world-wide who fight for original copies, which are few and far between. Strange thing is, if someone were to say that the Folklords album was released by Creation Records in 1987, it would be difficult to argue. You may well ask, why? The answer: the chiming guitars, the rattle of tambourine, the dreaminess, and the meandering harmony vocals of Martha Johnson place the Folklords closer to Biff Bang Pow, the Jesus and Mary Chain, the Revolving Paint Dream, or even My Bloody Valentine's debut, 'Ecstasy And Wine' (granted, at a much slower speed, and without the rampant fuzz guitar) than it does to sunny 1960's poppiness. Glorious remastered sound, as the twelve LP tracks were taken directly from the master-tapes.
