Notes


Reissue on CD of ultra-rare U.S. psych/folk album originally from 1970 in the style of Tim Buckley. Probably from California. Here In The Land Of Victory is a very good folk psych album, similar to the better tracks on the Brent Titcomb LP, and sounding a lot like Tim Buckley in parts. Holman has a mid-range quavery voice, and the songs are all very fragile, floating acoustic type of songs, with sitar, tablas and other exotic instrumentation scattered liberally throughout.

The production credits "Schmitt-Douglas", and the album was recorded at Dimension Sounds, which may have been an L.A. Studio. The album cover is a very psychedelic montage featuring Holman super-imposed over scenes of down and out street people. Not as overwhelmingly gorgeous as the JK & Co cover, but similar.

Holman also wrote Bizarrek Kind covered by Vision Of Sunshine.
