Yesterday's Children - S/T (1970 US) | Heavy Psychedelic / Hard Rock | Full Vinyl Rip

Yesterday's Children - Self-Titled. Released 1970 in the US on Map City (MAP-3012). This is an original Stereo pressing of a standout record from the Connecticut rock underground. Hailing from Prospect, CT, Yesterday's Children was a band in the middle of a major sonic shift. While they started as a garage act in the mid-60s, by the time they hit the studio for this 1970 debut, they had evolved into a high-decibel proto-metal unit. This album is a relentless mix of fuzzed-out guitars, aggressive vocals from Denis Coffey, and a rhythm section that hits like a sledgehammer. It sits right in that sweet spot where late-60s psychedelia turned into the darker, heavier hard rock of the early 70s. The production on Map City is raw and unpolished, which fits the record's "street" energy. While not as rare as some of the "mythical" underground pressings, it remains a favorite for collectors who want their rock loud, gritty, and slightly unhinged. 🔥 Top Tracks Paranoia: A frantic, high-energy opener that sets the tone with biting riffs and an urgent vocal delivery. She's Easy: A nearly 7-minute sprawling jam that showcases the band's ability to lock into a heavy, psychedelic groove. Evil Woman: A grit-soaked, blues-rock original (not a cover) that hits incredibly hard. Hunter's Moon: A dark, atmospheric closer that leans into the band's more ominous and "proto-doom" sensibilities. 🎸 Sounds Like: The Stooges: For the raw, unrefined garage-rock aggression. Blue Cheer: That massive "wall of sound" and fuzzed-out heavy blues. Grand Funk Railroad: The driving, power-trio energy of their early albums. MC5: For the high-octane, "kick out the jams" attitude. 💿 Tracklist 00:00 Paranoia 04:43 Sad Born Loser 09:14 What Of I 13:19 She's Easy 20:14 Sailing 27:55 Providence Bummer 32:05 Evil Woman 35:28 Hunter's Moon 📷 Follow me on Instagram for more vinyl rips: https://www.instagram.com/vinyl_piper/ 🎧 Full vinyl rips playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj0yF7-9YQ9pEOi1yCUyAZikNmWVdz8Hn 🎸 Shop rare vinyl, psych, bootlegs, reissues, and concert posters from my personal collection: 👉 https://vinylpipershop.com/ #vinylrip #yesterdayschildren #heavypsych #hardrock #1970 #vinylpiper #mapcityrecords #protometal #fuzzrock #garagerock #rockcollectors
