Worldwide CD Debut
ISSUED IN A LIMITED-EDITION (OF 1000) MINI LP SLEEVE RE-CREATING THE ORIGINAL ALBUM ARTWORK
Recorded right after the Youngbloods broke up, and released on their own Raccoon label, 1972's Mid-Mountain-Ranch was the sole solo album from the band's multi-instrumentalist Banana a.k.a. Lowell Levinger. Except that it wasn't really a solo album, because the Bunch included Joe Bauer and Michael Kane from Banana's former outfit! So, Mid-Mountain-Ranch really was a Youngbloods album sans Jesse Colin Young; and the absence of their former front man allows Banana and his Bunch to stretch out with some bluegrass and jazz licks alongside their patented folk rock sound. It's something of an early alt-country cult classic, reissued here on CD for the first time ever in a limited-edition mini LP sleeve that re-creates the original packaging right down to the label on the CD. LIMITED EDITION OF 1000!
