Pearls Before Swine- These Things Too-LP

These Things Too captures Pearls Before Swine as they transitioned from their earlier raw folk sound to a more polished, warm production style. Recorded at Impact Sound in New York City and released in 1969 on Reprise Records, their third album features thoughtful tracks like "Sail Away," blending psychedelic folk textures with introspective lyricism, and an evocative cover of Bob Dylan's "I Shall Be Released." The opening "Footnote" sets a contemplative mood that carries through the album’s delicate arrangements and poetic themes. It’s a snapshot of a band exploring new sonic territory while maintaining their distinctive voice. This 1969 vinyl pressing offers a chance to hear these songs as they were introduced to a wider audience beyond their ESP-Disk days. The record is graded VG++, indicating a glossy, very clean surface with only minor, faint paper scuffs typical for its age but no serious wear. A pressing like this feels right at home for someone who appreciates the subtleties of late ’60s folk-psych without needing to chase after mint-condition perfection. It’s a solid choice for collectors who want a clear window into Pearls Before Swine’s evolving artistry without the fuss of hunting down a flawless copy. After all, even a wizard of this caliber can appreciate a good groove with a little room to breathe.
