Various Artists - The Room (Rare 1968? Canadian V.A. Private Folk LP)

 

 

Canadian-only private press folk LP from Windsor, Ontario coffeehouse, The Room.

""The Room" was initiated in the Fall of 1965.It was intended as an ecumenial effort by the Roman Catholic, Anglican and United chaplains. The original decor was comprised of a few odd card tables and borrowed chairs.It was simply an informal meeting room where students could discuss anything from sex to politics. As time went on, a few people brought guitars and music and poetry became the soul of every Sunday evening. Soon, new custom tables were acquired and the attendence increased from crowds of sixty or seventy to two and three hundreds. This album is the culmination of three years of performances by those hearty souls who have sung and recited their way into the very hearts of the students at the University of Windsor."

Listen : The Room (full LP)

Incredibly rare amazing LP !

A pity some artists like Clare Rabeau (A3), Ginny Vandall (A7), Mike McMahon (A4), Pete Gibson (A6), Tom Pekar (B5) and Ron Werner & Dave Tollington (B7) never released their own LP.
