about

Beyond rare private press album from 1974, a fantastic mix of progressive rock with acid-folk, spaced-out psychedelia and cool conceptual / soundtrack vibe.

Pete Fine is a virtuoso acoustic and electric guitarist and also a self-taught composer and orchestrator. After playing with psychedelic hard-rock trio FLOW in the early 70s in New York, Pete, influenced by classical composers like Anton Bruckner, started to focus on his 12-string guitar, composing music in a symphonic style.

“On A Day Of Crystaline Thought” was his first solo album, self-released in 1974 as a private, home-made edition of 100 copies, now impossible to find.
It was recorded using classical / rock musicians plus a chamber Orchestra from Harlem. It features 12-string guitars, electric guitars, timpani, string sections, French horns, flute, piano, organ, drums with early digital delays, female vocal harmonies.

An utterly unique sound, intense and deeply psychedelic--and a singular feat of home recording, from 1974, no less! So glad to finally have this on vinyl. Gilliflower

Boogie, bluesy, early-70s jam rock from the American state of Illinois - a familiar release for the ultra dedicated rock vinyl collector, mostly due to the extreme rarity and high collectability value of the first private pressing from 1971. It was a long time coming for Guerssen to do a huge (and affordable!) vinyl reissue campaign, and frankly, I'm quite happy to see it get the greater recognition it deserves. Quota
