Skip Spence - Oar
(1969, Columbia)
a really interesting solo record from Spence, recorded over 7 days in Columbia's Nashville studios after he was released from a six month stay in a psych ward. Some really weird guitar chords and soaring vocals - unsettling, grabs the attention. I ran across this at a yard sale a couple of years ago - lucky find because I don't think many copies sold....from wikipedia: "It was at the time the lowest-selling album in Columbia Records history, and was deleted from the Columbia catalogue within a year of its release"
