Limited edition of 750 individually numbered copies on pink colored 180-gram audiophile vinyl housed in a gatefold sleeve. Quill was a Boston-based rock band that had national exposure when they played the Woodstock festival in August of 1969. The quintet got together in 1967 and played New England and New York over the next few years, getting some positive regional press for their combination of high[1]wattage rock with elements of psychedelia and jazz, and what would later be identified as performance art. Most of the songwriting was handled by John and Dan Cole, who tended to deliver fairly complex pieces that lent themselves to elaborate performances, sometimes involving some heavy audience participation as well. Their reputation was sufficient to get them opening act spots for artists such as Jeff Beck, Deep Purple, Buddy Guy, and Janis Joplin. The group's self-produced album is one of the better offerings from 'The Bosstown Sound' and remains a cult favorite among psychedelic rock enthusiasts.
