:Info on this Uber rare tax scam release:
Hollywood
multi-instrumentalist John Agostino was completely unaware that his 1974
tender psych-folk miniature was ever released. Miscredited to the
invented artist Crystal Ball, his mystifying album is a curious example
of a tax scam record in which shady labels would purposely form
loss-making subsidiaries to write off for tax credit. Obtaining masters
through dubious means, the labels would relegate entire pressings to
deadstock warehouses, lazily leaking only a handful of copies into
market. As was typically the case, Agostino’s culprits even took
liberties in designing album art and naming what was essentially an
unauthorized collection of unfinished material.
This record also
receives a very favorable review by Patrick Lundborg in his book “Acid
Archives The Second Edition” published in 2010. Among the things Patrick
writes about this LP are, “Here’s one of the rarest (only three known
copies) and most distinctly psychedelic of all tax scam records, one
that if it were better known would be a major collectible. It’s probably
the most significant and fascinating record released by the slippery
folks at Album World. Need I say more..
