Kreed - This is Kreed! - Visions of Sound 1971 LP - Minnesota Garage - Nice Ori.
Original 1971 pressing LP. Very nice copy. Rare Cover is in VG condition with Ring Wear , PD SF on back , General small wear , nothing crazy. Vinyl is Fine / VG+++, with a few faint unobtrusive hairlines. 1 Surface line scuff.
Plays nice, clear, no loud skips, pops. Low press run. I am including a printout article of the band.
From 1971 and one rare record in Rock history, this band was a group of junior high teenage kids at St. James School in Faribault Minnesota, a military training school in Fairbault, 50 miles South of Minneapolis in Minnesota. Although it was recorded in 1971, the band being so young it sounds more like a mid to late sixties effort. They chose the name because they were all going to an Episcopalian School - they took the word creed and replaced the 'C' with a 'K'.
One David Cannon wrote all the songs on the album (except for a cover of In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida made famous by Iron Butterfly) and he was clearly a talent. Between 1976-1982 he fronted No Cheese Please, Balderdash and The Fabulous Toasters. KREED! were together for just eight months from September 1970 until the Summer of 1971. What they etched in forgiveness is this rare basement punk-garage teen-scene album. Has keys and guitars upfront with all the right moves; voice-change vocals, basic garage charm and sparseness -- and lyrics about girls.
All originals except an extended near 14 mins KREED! take on "In A Gadda Da Vida." which is pretty awesome rendering a terrific fuzz-guitar soloing work-out.
