{"product_id":"857176003621","title":"A BIRD IN THE ENGINE | VINYL RECORD (LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003eVinyl LP repressing. In the late '60s, Pip Proud recorded two of the oddest records ever to come out of Australia-ADRENALINE \u0026amp; RICHARD and a BIRD IN THE ENGINE-before vanishing into obscurity for the better part of three decades. Often called the 'Australian Syd Barrett,' Proud actually released his second album in 1969, a year prior to THE MADCAP LAUGHS, and developed his indigenous Psychedelia in virtual isolation. A BIRD IN THE ENGINE is even rarer than his debut. From the extraordinary 'Eagle-Wise' to the remarkable title track (which includes the un-credited performance of a friend hitting a cardboard box with a microphone), Proud's unrestrained genius is laid bare, a delicate tension of simple melodies and maddening form. While other compilations of Proud's music have been released in recent years, this is the first time a BIRD IN THE ENGINE has been reissued in it's original format. Recommended for fans of Alvarius B., Donovan and Jandek.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PROUD, PIP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46061943652597,"sku":"857176003621","price":21.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0681\/9325\/5669\/files\/0857176003621.jpg?v=1731289436","url":"https:\/\/thevinylvista.com\/products\/857176003621","provider":"Vinyl Vista","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
