Limited transparent light green vinyl LP pressing of this 1968 release. Original album artwork and design. Intro from John Pollano with rare photos and band history. Lazy Smoke - Corridor Of Faces is held in high regard as one of the rarest psych albums ever made. The sole offering recorded in Massachusetts in 1968, Lazy Smoke is a cohesive, solid, classic album in every sense. The first remarkable trait of Lazy Smoke's sound is the similarity of the lead vocal to John Lennon. Upon digging just a little deeper below the surface, we instead find a darker tone and a patient, eerie feeling resonating through the songs. While bands like The Beatles and Love were singing about love, lament, and hallucinated travel experiences, the songs on Corridor of Faces get sincerely dark right away. Even the seemingly light teenage love-themed "Sarah Saturday" shares an undercurrent of on-the-edge uncertainty. It's this undercurrent that calls to mind comparisons to Forever Changes era Love.
