Randy Bishop "I Sing A Soft Song" 1972 Ultra rare Promo Psych only release in Vancouver.
I talked to the producer who said there were 100 copies made, all labeled as test pressings, most given out in an attempt to get the record picked up. (He doesn't have any so please don't bug him.) I know of two other copies and have never heard of this being offered for sale before.

The drawback for some may be his howling, big ego vocals, but the uniformly excellent songwriting and particularly brilliant arrangements more than make up for it and every track is a winner..
