I ALWAYS CATCH THE THIRD SECOND OF A YELLOW LIGHT

Vinyl LP pressing. A rock concept album, as progressive as it is psychedelic, recorded by a 17-year-old Tom Nehls and his high school friends in Minneapolis over a three-month period in late 1972. Nehls original notes describe his influences: The Beatles, Zappa, Tolkien. But that amalgamation cannot prepare you for the depths that this wunderkind explored with first-time engineer Paul Stark, who would later co-found Twin/Tone Records and sign and develop punk legends The Replacements and dozens of other bands. NehlsAE album has gone on to be a welcome addition to the genre Paul Major called oReal People Music;o a wonderful and sincere exploration of the human predicament that reveals more of itself with each listen. Mastered from a flat transfer of StarkAEs original master tapes, this is the best that this album has ever sounded. The Now-Again Reserve Edition of I Always Catch The Third Second Of A Yellow Light possesses a fidelity that NehlsAE rare original didnAEt.'
