Pearls Before Swine

[spookypatchouli]

I remember learning about this artwork on this album in my art history class. Its a part of three panel art, depicting scenes of Earth, heaven and hell. The panel that is on this album is the punishments of hell panel. The most intriguing one. :)

[cfazekas0441]

was terry jacks from the poppie family in this band

[vaspers]

Wonderful. Dreamy. Love this so much. Reminds me of when I first heard this album as a teenager. Classic psych folk. Thanks.

[filthyphillyboy]

I'm looking for the song Footnote from the album These Things Too. I wish someone would upload it.

[haranpaco]

@filthyphillyboy

I have send you on your channel where to find albums of oearls before swine to download.

[mouldybear]

Tom Rapp and his friends were a favourite of mine in 1967 when this appeared on the mad ESP label.

[UndefinedMadrid]

Diamonds in the rough and strangers in their times. Nothing quite like PBS

[asserts]

I spent so many teen fog realities listening to this wonderful quiet contemplative work

[JoelGallob]

The only masterpiece about reincarnation i know of.

[bakabana1967]

Hieronymus Bosch is the most underrated surrealistic painter from Holland, he lived in the 1400/1500s, and this is a beautiful record i have since end sixties, saw them in the ELAND in Delft, oh thiose wre the times, last week bought the CD, it's still so very good ! and will always be !

[MrJonrob01]

Smoked my first joint to "one Nation Underground". DAMN, that was a long time ago.

[misfitsruby]

where is rat?

[skicat62]

wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww­wwww sigh

[Niamhdm7871]

Can someone please tell me the title of the LP Art work and it's artist? I'm trying to find me a print. Blessings, K.

[misterfathersir]

@Niamhdm7871 The original cover for the PBS album "One Nation Underground" was a detail of the right panel of the Hieronymus Bosch triptych "Garden of Earthly Delights" depicting Hell. It is currently in the Museo del Prado in Madrid.

The cover shown here is from the PBS CD "The Complete ESP-Disk Recordings" and it has a larger detail of the same picture but only the right half of the cover. I have no idea who added the left half.

[Niamhdm7871]

@misterfathersir thank you so much. It's still amazing surreal art.

[adzelf]

I have seen them in the Doelen in Rotterdam, i think 68 or 69.

It created a special atmosphere then.

[ivycompton]

Tom Rapp is an incomparable talent. Some of the most haunting melodies and beautiful lyrics of the time. This is one of his most enchanting, and sad.

[voidforpurpose]

Reminds me of Pete Sinfield's solo album "STILL".

[micsta661]

At that time i really like this music , may be the drugs are better . Can somebody post "The Jeweler " ?

Love that song .

[Donnachie51]

Tim Buckley with a lisp!

[stephenstevey]

[goumeimeifan666]

[RaulDuke467]

really catchy, nice creative melody

you recognice that there were a feeling that nothing will change, but you have to try again

[Petroled]

reminds me of Tim Buckley

[surfraptor]

I remember Tom Rapp

De slissende hippie!

Was played on VPRO Radio a lot in those days

Love this song

[weqyk]

petervanvliet1961

[dybbuk4640]

the political "dig" undermines the music - too bad marxists cant appreciate art for art's sake

[WeedWizz]

"Cow!?~hmmm ill suck on anything once!"

[petervanvliet1961]

It is a painting called, 'The Garden of Earthly Delights,' by Hieronymus Bosch from the late 1400's.

[chalraco]

thank you thomas rapp for all the beautiful songs.

strange days long ago in Almelo

[Julcisko]

Soooo relaxing.

[screenanme]

I had this album inthe 70's...lots of teenage angst was put to right through this! Haha!

[EvanexcenceLover]

Does anyone know this is also athe name of a cartoon? My favrite!

[omkar53]

Where have you been to?

Where did you go?

Did you follow the summer out

When the winter pushed its face in the snow?

Or have you come by again to die again?

Well, try again another time.

[midtownjohn]

The Dream Academy reccommended this group. It's OK.

[willoughbyorama2]

hate to say it, but i loved the song, but his lisp kind of ruins it for me

[faehne]

can somebody post the lyrics.... pleeeeeze

[totovillefranche]

Excellent quality on the two on one cd; helped a lot listening to back then when I's behind bars in a foreign town in a foreign city

[tigerincanada]

I have the Cat Mother album ..... bought it for the name. Not everyone can say I have an album by Cat Mother and the All Night Newsboys .... produced by Hendrix .... I liked the Boston Strangler. How about, "Spats Dillinger and the Buzzing Half Dozen/"

[jbohn1130]

I, also had the Cat Mother album after hearing the group do "Good Old Rock & Roll" on---no kidding!---Dick Clark's American Bandstand. Always liked it!

[theeasybeats]

I haven't heard this since 1970

[Nobjan]

Fantastic -- what memories . . . Has anybody ever heard of the group Cat Mother and the All Night Newsboys and their album: "The Street Giveth and the Street Taketh Away" -- especially the tune Can You Dance to It?

[mlpooley]

Back in the day I used to listen to this album and have thought of it many a time and wondered if I was just high, it wasn't really what it is and to find it here. Wow, Now I'm going to have find the album and download it for my iPod.

Thank you for the flash back I love it.

[willyrein]

Bravo for keeping this long forgotten gem alive!!

[kalldemos]

Almost sounds like Translucent Carriages ...

[seventiesguru]

i bought this record at 3rd st jazz in center city, philly in 82'. love it!

[ZayLong]

damn, what the HELL is this, i was looking for Pearls before Swine the comic....

[Raymantico]

And Donovan.

[Raymantico]

One of my all time favorite songs.

First heard on Boston radio when it was new.

Psychedelic folk rock on a par with Dylan.

[MaryAnneClinical]

I am hoping the album called STARDANCER by Tom Rapp finally comes out as a CD.

[jovinanna]

Beautiful song....I have their Use Of Ashes album, I will have to find this one as well.

[Chernolapkin]

This is available on a two-albums-one-one-CD set along with their second album, Balaklava, which is arguably their best.

Pearls Before Swine had basically become whoever was playing with Tom Rapp by the time the Use of Ashes was produced. It is till a great album though.

I also understand that Tom Rapp is still playing.

[revolution1940]

awesome tune! awesome band! man i love 60's tunes, oh man do i ever

[dybbuk4640]

love the music as i bought the album when it first came out ... could do without the political sniping as it detracts from the message

[kellylchang]

I need the mp3 for this!

[Psychedelicus74]

i have it

[ch473]

I have this album. This is probably the best song.

[cytuber]

Thanks Blueguyz90.

I remember really liking this group but haven't heard any of their material for decades. Quite frankly, I can't remember any of their material either :) so it's great to hear this track. It's just enough of a hint to remind me of their sound. Thanks.

[AllyGator75]

Thanks Blueguy. Loved this album in my younger

days (not to mention Tim Buckley)

google cvanderlely pearls for a very nice site about Tom.

[revup67]

This is excellent - glad to see others appreciate this much over-looked band

[realnoid]

In the Washington Post article it said that

this album sold 300,000 copies and Rapp never

saw a penny. He says that he played the Bottom

Line with Dylan. He said everyone was told

never to speak to Dylan. Being a lawyer sure

beats hell out of begging up in Woodstock.

[oyo1976]

I have the album, somewhere. I love it. Bit sad, but very soothing.

[pcle0322]

A real blast from the past! Nice ....

[CrimiEnologo]

Yes. Lawyer for civil rights. In 1997 released Journal of The Plague Year.

[23moksha]

I had this album 35 years ago; it's great to hear again. Rapp became a lawyer? I'm not sure how I feel about that. Could someone please post more of it.

[meantime08]

Tom Rapp, civil rights lawyer should come by

again and try again to get the new Milhous out of Casa Blanca.
