More Info:

Here it is at last, the privately pressed album (in both it's second mono and third stereo versions) that launched one of the most extraordinary careers in American roots music. Legend has it that only 95 copies of the original were made, yet it made Fahey's reputation worldwide. Includes Transcendental Waterfall (long version); on Doing an Evil Deed Blues, and more. One of a kind.
