Crystal Circus - In Relation To Our Times 1968 (Akarma) Repost for Request

Originally issued as a test pressing on Bill Holmes’ infamous All-American label. Usually, anything connected with All-American gets the obligatory “sounds like Strawberry Alarm Clock” tag.

This is the rare case where that assertion actually happens to be true. The tracks range from the sixties’ punk sound of “Don’t Say I Didn’t Warn You”, to “Sweet High”, which perfectly captures those SAC harmonies, along with guitar solos that sound very much like those of Ed King.

The best moment of the proceedings is the heavy psych number “Twisted Conversation”, where vocalist Greg Munford (who also provided lead vocals to the SAC’s “Incense and Peppermints”) gives us the trippiest lyrics this side of Ultimate Spinach.
