Stack – Above All (LP)

Reissue, originally released in 1969. Definitive reissue of this wild and heavy psychedelic hard-rock album from California, released in tiny quantities at the time. Ultra-loud guitars (think Blue Cheer or late ’60s Who), melodic vocals and thundering rhythm section. Includes bonus track taken from a previously unreleased acetate. Hard cardboard sleeve; OBI; insert with extensive line notes by genre expert Clark Faville and lots of rare pictures/memorabilia. “Early LA hardrock blowout with a British sound and Who and Led Zep influences. Best tracks go into ferocious guitar excursions that are among the best anywhere. Mandatory to any hard-rock fan” –Patrick Lundborg (Acid Archives). “Above All is one of the few pure and willfully heavy hard rock albums that rank as both incredibly rare and ultimately essential to a collection of American Rock” –Clark Faville
