Lily & Maria - I Was [Lily & Maria] 1968

Lily & Maria - I Was [Lily & Maria] 1968

New York teenagers Lily Fiszman and Maria Neumann met in 1965 and developed a highly original and distinctive musical style over the following two years, before releasing their sole album in 1968. A compelling combination of stark folk, upbeat pop and acid rock, it's one of the most intense, intimate and beautiful recordings of its era, and has long been established as a cult classic. It makes its long-overdue reissue debut here, complete with rare photos, memorabilia and interviews with both artists (telling their story for the first time), making it an essential purchase for all fans of 1960s acid folk and pop.

Wow! Thanks so much for uploading this! I've been looking for this album on LP for forever, where did you find it?

One of the great, but little know albums of the 60s. I fell in love with this album when it came out. I lost my copy an for decades searched for word of them or a re-release. For me, it's a truly magical album. One day, searching the 'net, as I had on and off, over the years, I found the rerelease. I was a little vexed by the backstory in the booklet -- but I was delighted to find out those two frail and wan creatures not only survived but went on to happy, normal lives.
