This is an album released by Custom Fidelity, a label owned by Dave Berkus in Hollywood, CA. Although most of albums belonging to this label are not very rare, this Wishbone album is really rare, and Vinyl has only seen one eBay auction. This song is a light pop psych song, but Frankly, the whole music development of the record is much more closer to pop,, and it is a groove with slightly Jazz, which is hard to define as a genre. Their Wishbone color is mixed with pop and groove psych, Jazz.

"한계에는 자유가 있다." 로드리게즈

도대체 왜 나는 소규모 레이블에서 제작하는 프라이빗 레코드를 좋아하는지 곰곰히 생각해 보았습니다
물론 유명한 뮤지션의 능숙한 연주와 시스템화된 곳에서 만들어진 레코딩도 그만큼의 독보적인 가치가 있기는 하죠
거기까지 도달하지까지에는 수없이 많은 시행착오를 딛고 땀으로 일구어진 실력이 뒷받침 되어야 하기 때문입니다. 그래서 증명이 되었고 잘 정돈이 되어 있습니다.

하지만 프라이빗 레코드에는 다듬어지지 않는 독특한 활기가 흘러 넘쳐요. 그리고 거기에는 가슴 설레이는 공기 같은것이 감돌고 있어요. 마치 이른 새벽 공기의 신선하고 맑은 순수함처럼.

Richard W. Winthrop의 음반이 딱 그런 음반이 아닐까 싶어요.
작은 한계에서 자신의 모든것을 투영한 음반. 이것은 프라이빗이 주는 커다란 즐거움일 거에요
로드리게즈는 작은 한계에서 커다란 성공신화를 이룬 사람으로 유명해서 '로즈리게즈 리스트'가 존재할정도로 유명해졌지만 리차드씨의 "folk clay"는 그런 유명세를 얻지 못하고 보석처럼 숨어 있었습니다. 하지만 그는 소곤소곤 어디에서도 들을수 없는 그의 이야기를 하고 있습니다. 그럴때는 나는 꼼짝없이 매료되어 그의 이야기를 들어야 합니다.
그가 좀 더 깊숙이 나의 몸속으로 파고들때까지 .


"There is freedom in the limits." Rodriguez

I wonder why I like the private record that make on a small label.
Of course, the famous musicians perform well and the recordings made in systemized places have such unique value.
Until they reach it, they have to be backed up by sweat and over countless trials and errors. So it was proved and well organized.

Private records, however, are full of untapped vigor.
And there is a breath of air floating around.
There is fresh and clear innocence of early morning air.

Richard W. Winthrop's record is just such a record.
It is the album that projected everything from a small limit. It is a great pleasure for the private.
Rodriguez was famous for being a great success mythologist at small limits, so famous as "Rodriguez List", but Richard 's "folk clay" was hidden like a jewel without getting such fame.
He is talking about his untraceable story. At that time I must be fascinated and listen to his story.
Until I dig into him more deeply into my body.

"The Country Team," by Dave Hess and Nick Platt, released in ?. Superb private folk recorded in Hong Kong by a pair of American Foreign Service personnel stationed there in 1968. Solid music throughout, including some haunting folk and some reinterpretations of Chinese songs, sung in Mandarin. Completely unknown record.
