Daybreak - s/t 1971 / A Celebrartion of the Individual - 1974

Daybreak was a high school band from Westchester County, N.Y..  Aspiring hippis of their generation, the band played anti-war songs anthems and songs that spoke to them. On their debut album, an ultra-rare RPC custom press of 1,000, they covered some very iconic staples of the time including Steppenwolf 's "Monster" and The Moody Blues' "Knights' in White Satin" along with 3 originals. Unfortuntely the recording inclues the cheezy "Rock Around the Clock" on some of the worst recording quality of the 70's.

But beneath the muffled noise of their cheap cassete recorder, there is some of the "best acid psych ever laid down."

In 1974 the band recorded another album in mutiple styles from soft acid rock to clunky jazz rock.

Worth a listen but not essetial
