MOSAICS PIECES OF STONE

The sole album from male-female duo Jade Stone
& Luv is a lost gem from the heart of the
psychedelic 1970s. A long-time cult item and
highly praised in the Acid Archives book. This
reissue includes a bonus track, extensive liner
notes and photos. 600 copies limited edition -
multicolored vinyl.
Composed and self-produced in Nashville,
Mosaics; Pieces of Stone went unnoticed by the
music industry upon release. While almost
unknown outside specialist circles, Mosaics has
been an underground cult favorite for many years.
The combination of top-level songwriting, skillful
guitar/keyboard arrangements and soaring vocals
is just too impressive to ignore. And beyond these
obvious qualities, the album has something subtle
and unique, a magnetic power that keeps drawing
the listener back. One of Jade Stone & Luv's
earliest advocates was the legendary New York
City musicologist and leader of the band Endless
Boogie; Paul Major. Here's a typical Major
impression of the music on Mosaics:
"Groovy love vibes thru a prism of jade statues in swinging singles apartment complex action... Cadillac with
fuzzy dice, feather boa, lotsa cigarette burns, stale perfumed ashen air. This album in the 8-track player at 5 AM
with someone you don't even know passed out in the backseat, as you head to the diner to meet up with an
early-bird Lava Lite salesman who deals pills on the side. Bubbly champagne molecules become the plastic vinyl
booths in dim-lit dive bars; it's cracker box post-war suburban low-rent psychedelic."
VICE says: "This might be the greatest record ever made in the
USA. It took over 20 years and a Swedish label to bring it out in
the open. Go figure. Jade and Luv had the looks, the style and the
music to conquer the world-maybe now they finally will. This isn't
some ironic retro shit, it's just real mid-70s suburban lounge psych
that also manages to outdo everything that The Doors ever
made."
