SAINT STEVEN Over The Hills/Bastich £150 1969 PROBE 1st US Press Fuzz Psych Rarity Ultimate Spinach

Here is a long lost Psych Gem that very little is known about from Saint Steven (Steven Cataldo - Ultimate Spinach) released in 1969 on the US ABC/Probe label (4506) in Stereo & Mono called Over the Hills/The Bastich, a mint copy sold in 2008 for 250 Euros. The US version comes in a nice gatefold sleeve with the distinctive ABC/Probe logo on the front. It hardly raised an eyebrow on its release that is why a near mint copy will cost upwards of £150 (there was also a 1969 UK copy on probe SPB 1005 that came in a single flipback sleeve with a different picture on the rear, this just contains the Probe logo on the front) Why not subscribe as I upload rarities regularly!

The cover features "Saint Steven" hugging his guitar floating up in the clouds as the sun radiates around him with a drawing of a sea monster slithering down at the edge of the ocean. No musicians were listed inside, just the producer, engineer and cover design folks. The lyrics on the inside of the gatefold and are quite poetic with the feeling of dread buried beneath some of the warmer imagery.
