Виниловая пластинка Jade Stone - Mosaics; Pieces of Stone [Multi-Colored Vinyl] NEW Vinyl

The sole album from this male-female duo is a lost gem from the heart of the psychedelic 1970s. A long-time cult item and highly praised in the Acid Archives book. This reissue includes a bonus track, extensive liner notes, photos and multicolored vinyl. Composed and self-produced in Nashville, Mosaics went unnoticed by the music industry upon release. While almost unknown outside specialist circles, it has been a long-time underground cult favorite. The combination of top-level songwriting, skillful guitar/keyboard arrangements and soaring vocals is just too impressive to ignore. And beyond these obvious qualities, the album has something subtle and unique, a magnetic power that keeps drawing the listener back. One of Jade & Luv’s earliest advocates was the legendary NYC musicologist and Endless Boogie bandleader Paul Major. Here’s a typical Major impression of the music on Mosaics: "Groovy love vibes thru a prism of jade statues in swinging singles apartment complex action. Cadillac with fuzzy dice, feather boa, lotsa cigarette burns, stale perfumed ashen air. This album in the 8-track player at 5 AM with someone you don't even know passed out in the backseat, as you head to the diner to meet up with an early-bird Lava Lite salesman who deals pills on the side. Bubbly champagne molecules become the plastic vinyl booths in dim-lit dive bars; it's cracker box post-war suburban low-rent psychedelic". VICE says: "This might be the greatest record ever made in the USA. It took over 20 years and a Swedish label to bring it out in the open. Go figure. Jade and Luv had the looks, the style and the music to conquer the world—maybe now they finally will. This isn’t some ironic retro shit, it’s just real mid-70s suburban lounge psych that also manages to outdo everything that The Doors ever made.
