Vinyl-only. Limitierte Green Vinyl LP.
Dies ist eine längst überfällige Neuauflage des gleichnamigen obskure Albums von Ted Lucas, das im Jahr 1975 die Zukunft von Singer-Songwriter-Musik vorweg nahm.
Es war eine private press Selbstveröffentlichung in kleiner Auflage.Nach Ted Lucas Tod wurde es u.a. durch ein kleines LA Label, Yoga Records, neu entdeckt und wieder aufgelegt. Mit Abstand betrachtet halten es die die's kennen für eins der Größten Folk/Psych Alben die je aufgenommen wurden.

Lucas was a fixture in the Detroit rock scene of the sixties and seventies. His first band, The Spike Drivers, was one of the very first true psych group, the Motor City’s answer to Jefferson Airplane and The Byrds. Following the collapse of The Spike Drivers, Lucas paid bills doing session work with Motown. In 1972, he recorded the demo for Warner Brothers which would become Ted Lucas, released in two small private editions in 1975 and known informally to friends and family as The OM Album, after Lucas' own label, with artwork by the legendary Stanley Mouse originally created for Jimi Hendrix.
    
A troubled figure whose lack of commercial capitalization and general disgust with the music business fueled a tragic narrative of self-destruction and an untimely death at 53, Lucas nevertheless reflects a regal confidence on his sole album both in terms of his Sandy Bull-level guitar workouts and his masterful songwriting, as reflected in covers by the Blind Boys of Alabama, Richard Buckner, Phil Cook, and Father John Misty. As singular as Skip Spence’s Oar, as liminal and uncanny as David Crosby’s If I Could Only Remember My Name, the self-titled Ted Lucas is a cardinal collection of elevated and elegiac cosmic folk music.
