The Spoils of War. 1968-69 USA-Illinois (archival)
The Spoils of War is an archival release that includes a reissue of their only released product - which was an extended 7 inch EP (33 RPM). Very advanced for its era (1968/69). The music falls into the Fifty Foot Hose / United States of America category of experimental psychedelic music. Lots of early electronics of the beeping variety to augment the songcraft. Doesn't gel enough to take it to the 12 level, but these cats from Illinois had something special going on.
Ownership: LP+EP: 1999 Shadoks (Germany). Thick super stiff single sleeve with additional EP record. Numbered edition. Purchased new upon release. This was the first album released by the legendary Shadoks label (sometimes infamous unfortunately - but they started great). Most of what you see on Discogs comes from my copy (and what you see here, except for the front cover).
1999; 1/17/23 (LP 4.3); 3/28/23 (new entry)
