Your heart is broken (CD)

Here’s one the most obscure US private pressings from the late 60s / early 70s. For many years, the Misty Hush Revival name was only a rumour whispered in collector’s circles, with only a handful copies known of the original album around today. Like The Bachs or The Index, this is one of those hard to describe albums which seem to live in a world of their own. Despite the late ’72 release date, the music here sounds more late 60s than early 70s and the whole album has a cool, lost-in-time atmosphere.

The group were in fact a club band from New Jersey but surprisingly all the tracks are originals, no cover versions, and they range from fragile, dreamy pop-psych numbers to raw garage, fuzzed-out jams and teen-beat sounds. Like Patrick Lundborg says on Acid Archives: “A cool, atmospheric trip for fans of the tri-state late ’60s club sound”.

First time ever CD reissue, remastered on 24-Bit, original artwork, booklet with rare pictures and liner notes by Jack D. Fleischer, and two bonus tracks not on the vinyl release.
