The Washington Squares- The Washington Squares-LP

The Washington Squares’ 1987 self-titled album captures the spirit of the neo-beatnik folk revival with a blend of original songs and traditional tunes like "He Was a Friend of Mine" and "Samson and Delilah." Produced by Mitch Easter, known for his work with R.E.M., the record balances earnest folk melodies with alternative rock edges, making "D Train" a particularly memorable track that highlights the band's distinctive approach. Rooted in Greenwich Village’s vibrant scene, this album offers a snapshot of a group navigating between homage and innovation. This pressing from 1987 presents the album in a 12-inch vinyl format with a clean, glossy surface, exhibiting only minor, faint paper scuffs that won’t interfere with playback. The condition here promises a reliable listening experience for those who appreciate the tactile charm of vinyl without the distractions of significant wear. It’s a solid choice for anyone interested in folk revival sounds that carry a bit of city grit—a record that fits neatly on the shelf, though you might find it’s less about square edges and more about sharp angles in the music.
