1975's Perky Quinby And Gavin Gervis aka The Street and The Sea




Is it the Golden Gate Bridge or the Verazzano-Narrows?  Someone might recognize it better than myself.  In any case, quite a gorgeous monochromatic blue photograph for an album that is very beautiful once one hears it a few times.  This poor quality mp3 has been circulating sometime among collectors and no one seems to have access to the actual record which appears to be exceedingly rare.  If anyone actually possesses it, some information might be really appreciated.  For example it's not clear if this rip is even complete, being suspiciously well short of thirty minutes.  There is very little information on the internet, just this rym note.

I find the first track in particular to be breathlessly beautiful in a way that early Joni Mitchell was.  It's not a masterpiece-- there are too many inferior tracks, but it's one of those hauntingly gorgeous records, like the Marcia Meyers, and Melisma's album, I feel very very lucky to have heard in my life....







Obviously this is not my rip, but I sincerely feel immense gratitude to the kind soul who let us hear this rarity...
