Eden's Children - S/T - on colored vinyl for RSD25

Though short-lived, this power trio is defined as one of Boston’s cornerstone bands during the late ‘60s. Their popular Bosstown Sound opened opportunities that included almost constant performances at the Boston Tea Party, the Hatch Memorial Shell and the Psychedelic Supermarket. They were even billed with names like the Velvet Underground. But of groups labeled with Bosstown Sound (Orpheus, Beacon Street Union, Ultimate Spinach), Eden’s Children had by far the most unique sound.

“The self-titled Eden’s Children album rocks heavy with psych fuzz guitar, echoing, rotund bass runs and wild drums. Rich plays hard and fast, much like Alvin Lee in the band Ten Years After at times. The softer tunes have intricate guitar runs with overdubbed vocals by Richard, their only voice. The band fits right in with other power trios like Cream, Hendrix, Chariot and Blue Cheer. The only single released was "Goodbye Girl" b/w "Just Let Go" that made the local charts in the east and the LP made the top 200 on the Billboard and Cashbox charts [in 1968].”
