In 1972, Goods recorded their one and only album, Herald. This album was never released in any form, existing only in the catacombs of folklore and private tape/CD-R trades. Not only is this is great folk album, it was also one of the earliest (if not the earliest) collaborative effort of lo-fi champion R. Stevie Moore while he still lived in Nashville. Goods themselves is a sort of Neil Young meets baroque pop and west coast psychedelia. Pretty awesome on all fronts.
Not only will Herald finally see a proper release almost four decades after the fact, but a regional label is doin’ said deed. Goods’ Herald will storm the castle on CD and (hopefully) LP courtesy of Garden Gate Records sometime in early 2010. I’ll be sure to give you all a shout when I know more, but in the interim, put that all up on your radar.
