Motel In Saginaw Limited Vinyl LP + 7"

StumpWater Motel In Saginaw Limited Vinyl LP + 7"

Overview:

A journey that started with a simple first step resulted in some earth shattering info: STUMPWATER HAD AN UNRELEASED 1973 LP. Yep - and not only that , it's a friggin' concept LP about the characters populating a small town hotel (think Lee Hazlewood's Trouble is a Lonesome Town , but not really) called Motel in Saginaw (a place ol' Mike Nesmith seemed to know too). To say the homespun album was a revelation is putting it lightly - gorgeous tunes about death that'd have Simon and G crying in their cappucinos, creepy Dylan-esque tales that David Blue woulda liked to have written, maudlin hearts of gold in every groove - basically a hazy, sepia-stained song cycle for all the Judy Blue Eyes in the world to get lost in while rollin' a dirtweed joint. The Topanga Canyon-in-thee-midwest boheme coffeehouse has finally come to you via this archival release. The deluxe package includes an inner sleeve with photos and infos, a cracking mastering job by wunderkind Carl Saff and an original (hopefully non-warped) copy of their original private-press single. The complete StumpWater at last! So kick back, take your socks off, drop the needle on this lost classic-to-be, and let yer hair blow in the prairie wind, my dusty denim children.
