While most of the bands (Orpheus,
Ultimate Spinach, Beacon Street Union)
associated with producer Alan Lorber's
"Bosstown Sound" signed with MGM
Records, Listening recorded their only
album in 1968 with Vanguard. And it's a
highly prized one, at that, with original
copies selling for triple figures. One
reason for that is, unlike many of their
more poppy Boston-based peers,
Listening boasted an original, swirling,
hard-edged sound, full of jazzy and even
proggy passages, and keyboardist/singer/
songwriter Michael Tschudin's lyrics were openly
countercultural. That's future (post-Lou Reed)
Velvet Underground member Walter Powers on
bass, and blues wunderkind Peter Malick on guitar.
A talented band, underappreciated at the time...
in other words, right up our Real Gone alley! Coke
clear with yellow swirl vinyl pressing, limited to
700 copies. First U.S. reissue!
