Lot #147: Five Man Electrical Band - Coming of Age Vinyl LP 1971 Canada Press

Rare, original 1971 Canadian pressing of Coming of Age by Ottawa's legendary psych/classic rock outfit, Five Man Electrical Band. Captures the band at their peak output immediately following their world famous hit "Signs". Pressing manufactured and distributed entirely within Canada by Polydor Records. Cat: 2424 047 Cover: highly stylized psychedelic graphics designed by renowned artist Paul Gray. Overall a gorgeous visual anchor for any 1970s Canadian rock display. Remains a highly sought after artifact for physical media collectors because it has never been officially released on compact disc, preserving its exclusive analog status. Tracklist: every track on the record was composed by the band's frontman and prolific writer, Les Emmerson. It prominently showcases heavy use of early Moog and ARP synthesizers programmed by John Fischbach. Auction Note: All lots are from a single estate collection. This is an opportunity to purchase a carefully curated decades-spanning collection from a single collector. The majority of the vinyl is in near mint condition with many appearing unplayed - if there are flaws of note we did our best to photograph that specifically.
