DINO VALENTI Dino Valente (1968 UK 10-track vinyl LP, following a spell in jail for drug possession, Dino got a deal with Epic Records, recording an album produced by Bob Johnston [Bob Dylan]. It was idiosyncratic even within the psychedelic community. Valente sang elliptical, stream-of-consciousness hippyisms without much in the way of narrative, beginning, or end, but with an evocative lyricism. The accompaniment is mostly stripped down guitar playing pleasingly haunting minor folk-jazz acoustic chords, swelled by wads of studio reverb. Housed in a front laminated picture sleeve with extensive liner notes on the unlaminated reverse. Pressed on heavy 180-gram standard black vinyl. The sleeve has a some minor discolouration from storage on the reverse and the vinyl has some ultra-fine cosmetic hairline marks in places, but nothing that affect play. An excellent example of this Psyche rarity).
