Chaplin Harness - Chaplin Harness 1969

Originally released as a 50 copy test press way back in 1969, the band was from Philadelphia. This is a 600 press with glossy color psychedelic cover and photos of the band on the back. The album contains all original songs and is mostly psychedelic with a couple progressive instrumental cuts, 11 songs in all. The band features a great singer and future guitar legend Rick Iannaconne, who later made a big name for himself in the world of jazz, playing with Coltrane, Miles Davis etc.

The recording came from the bands' original tapes and sounds very good. Songs include 'High on a Happy', 'Walk on Mister', and the classic 'Dit Dewey Man', which is psychy, funky and flat out cool. The original test presses have been a coveted collectors item for a long time fetching hundreds of dollars making this reissue an instant classic. The album also features an insert and the 45 release of 'Dit Dewey Man' as a bonus cut. Thanks to Chrisgoesrock.
