Nova Local - Nova 1 LP
Reissue, originally released in 1968. The sole album by cultish psychedelic pop band from Chapel Hill, North Carolina. They formed in 1964 and split up after their debut, which appeared on prestigious label Decca in 1968. The line "Is it much too much to ask / Not to hide behind the mask?" from "If You Only Had the Time" was sampled on MF Doom's 2005 song "The Mask". All along with classic blues standard "Tobacco Road" (covered by anyone from The Animals to Brother Jack McDuffvia Jefferson Airplane) and contemporary folk number "Morning Dew" (originally penned by Bonnie Dobson) the record shows a series of original numbers verging on the happiest side of jangle-rock with a Nuggets feel all in all.
