RELATIVELY CLEAN RIVERS
SAME
PACIFIC IS - 17601 - 1976 - US
To say the truth, I was a little skeptic about this one because most of the american records printed after 1974 are not all good for my ears. On the contrary this one was a very great surprise.
Relatively Clean Rivers as all people know, are the post californian group Beat Of The Earth which made one 'out of their mind' record in 1971, which I liked very much. Some years later they made this one which has nothing to do with the preview. Music is soft, with some oriental influence, overall in the track The Persian Caravan. Some people say that it reminds Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young Deja vù, or Grateful Dead American Beauty but I don't agree. It's californian music, but not ' West Coast' and I consider it as a psychedelic folk music. Anyway, it's a very nice never boring record.
There are two different gatefold editions with the same serie number: one with photo inside cover, the other with lyrics.
