Lazy Smoke - Corridor Of Faces

OUT OF PRINT - ONLY ONE! Like VU and Big Star, Lazy Smoke became more famous in death than life. A Massachusetts band and local phenom in the late 60`s, "Corridor" became one of the more revered collectables among 60`s enthusiasts. The full album is here with 12 unheard demos and 16 page booklet, a great period piece that deserved a much better fate, but here is lovingly reissued! "Lesser imitations of the early Beatles aren`t hard to find, but it`s much tougher to locate diligent imitators of the group`s late-`60s sound. Here is one unheralded example, offeringa collection of mid-tempo, accessible late-`60s rock sung by a vocalist with a remarkable resemblance to John Lennon. But the songs, while not bad, are really unmemorable once the record`s finished, making this more of an oddity than something to avidly seek. The CD reissue on Arf! Arf! adds a dozen previously unreleased acoustic demos by leader and songwriter John Pollano, mixing different versions of songs from the album with compositions that didn`t make it onto the LP; these make his fixation with John Lennon `67-68 sound even clearer"- AMG
