Editorial Reviews
that actually has a couple original lp labels affixed to it AND a bonus 7-inch e.p. that adds another 20 or so minutes of unreleased original tracks that equal the lp; better known after its inclusion on the new "Love, Peace & Poetry" US comp this is one of my favorites and it's nice to see it this well done.

PATRON SAINTS-"Fobohohob" (American Sound 1997) might have the title misspelled as it's not in front of me as I write this; a legit and fantastic reissue of astoundingly rare NY psychedelic folk from early 70's and very difficult to describe as the happier it sounds the darker it gets, a certain twist to the whole affair that has attracted collectors to the tune of $2000 in the past; taken from the remastered studio tapes this sounds significantly better than the original and way superior to the Austrian boot from 2 or 3 years back, it also comes with an exact reproduction of the original sleeve and the original booklet
Product Description
The Patron Saints' 1969 album Fohhoh Bohob is considered by many collectors to be one of the most highly sought-after privately-pressed records ever released. Only 100 copies were produced originally, now fetching prices of $2500 and beyond. This CD reissue is the only authorized version available, reproduced from the original master tapes by Patron Saint member Eric Bergman and Mike Albertini. All artwork was taken from authenic sources. In addition, three previously unreleased tracks have been added to the original nine.

Product Description
2006 marked the 40th anniversary of the birth of the Patron Saints. Back in 1966, we were five typical mid-sixties suburban New York kids, learning our musical craft by emulating our heroes: the Stones, Beatles, Hendrix, Cream, the Butterfield Blues Band,the Doors, Moby Grape, the Yardbirds, et al, all loomed large in our rock n roll education. By early 1969, the Saints were down to three members: Jon Tuttle, Paul D Alton and myself. Jon and I had just started writing songs at this point, so we finally had some original music to practice and perform. Eventually, we recorded some demos together, using guitars and piano just to see what they sounded like. When we felt we had enough compositions under our belts, we decided to record some of this new material with Paul on drums. I owned a Sony TC-255 reel-to-reel tape deck and Jon had a portable Sony reel-to-reel system. These decks were not, by any stretch of the imagination, professional recording devices, but that didn t matter to us...we had gotten pretty good at squeezing respectable results out of less-than-state-of-the-art equipment by this time. It was at this point that I began to act on an idea that had been gestating in my little teenage brain for some time...why do we need to go to a record company with our stuff? Why don t we just record our own album and put it out ourselves? Sort of like those old Andy Hardy movies... Say, let s put on a show in the barn!!! My philosophy was (and still is, for that matter) that the music and vibes on a record were far more important than the fidelity. Our friend and contemporary, Chris Kubie, had recorded a live concert of his music in January 1969 and put out a limited edition record, so we knew it could be done. Jon and Paul readily agreed to the scheme; so, now what? How much would it cost? What did we need? Where would we record this thing? Fate intervened when the Paul s family decided that when they went away for three weeks in June of 1969, we could record at the house in their absence. I don t think they really had a clue what was involved, but it sounded positive and harmless, so why not? With our studio problem solved, we scrounged up some extra equipment; a Roberts 770X (as I recall) reel-to-reel tape deck similar to my Sony, but of higher quality, a high-impedance Shure microphone and a mixer with built-in reverb! We had it made now. We divided up the responsibilities into three distinct sections: I was to produce and engineer the album, Jon was to do the cover artwork and Paul was head of distribution (whatever that meant). Bit by bit, we set up our creative turf; amplifiers were hooked up, mikes (all three or four of them) were placed, levels were checked. It took a whole day, but finally, on June 25, 1969, we were ready to make our creative mark on the world; we packaged, pressed and delivered our masterpiece to a waiting world. Or so we thought. Since we could only afford to press 100 copies of the LP, there weren t that many to go around. Some went to family and friends, a few to record companies and radio DJs, and the rest to...well, apparently, they eventually found their way into the hands of fans and collectors who, in the ensuing years, have made Bohob one of the most collectible independently produced LPs ever released, with original copies commanding absurdly high prices. Who would have guessed? The continued demand for Fohhoh Bohob is astonishing and truly heartening for the Patron Saints, who are still together in 2006 and releasing new music. It should also be an inspiration for bands offering their music to a difficult-to-break-through business, the lesson being, of course, you just never know ! Grateful thanks to all of you who have loved this album enough to keep its spirit alive. (adapted form CD liner notes) Eric Bergman, October 2006
