December’s Children (1970 Cleveland, US Mainstream Records) | Psychedelic Rock | Full Vinyl Rip

Here’s my copy of December’s Children - 'Self-Titled', released in 1970 on Mainstream Records (S/6128). This one slipped under the radar, but it’s a strong slice of American psychedelic rock with heavy fuzz guitar, swirling organ, and a few moody acoustic passages. It’s got that unmistakable Mainstream sound - raw, echoey, and full of character. The band came out of the Cleveland area and blended dreamy psych textures with a bluesy edge. There’s a real charm to the songwriting here, and the arrangements have more depth than many other Mainstream psych LPs of the era. Think of it as a cousin to The Tangerine Zoo or The Growing Concern, but with a slightly darker tone. Ripped from my stereo copy. Standout tracks for me: Trilogy, Afternoon, and Too Early To Be Late - all great examples of how the band moved between heavy fuzz and lighter psych-folk moments. Similar artists: The Tangerine Zoo, The Growing Concern, Art of Lovin’, H.P. Lovecraft, and The Lincoln St. Exit. 📷 More vinyl on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vinyl_piper/ 🎧 Full Vinyl Rips playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj0yF7-9YQ9pEOi1yCUyAZikNmWVdz8Hn Timestamps 00:00 Trilogy (I.
