{"title":"Pearls Before Swine Vinyl Records","description":"\u003cp\u003ePearls Before Swine was an American psychedelic folk rock band formed in 1965 by Tom Rapp. The group released six studio albums between 1967 and 1971, with their most successful being 1968's The Garden of Earthly Delights. The group was known for their eclectic mix of folk, jazz, and classical influences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTheir standout albums include Balaklava (1968), These Things Too (1969), and The Use of Ashes (1970). Balaklava is considered their masterpiece and features the single \"Morning Dew\", which is one of their most popular songs. Other notable songs include \"Images of April\", \"Playmate\", \"Sail Away\", and \"The Surrealist Waltz\".\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn interesting fact about Pearls Before Swine is that, despite their critical acclaim, the band was never able to achieve commercial success. They disbanded in 1971, but their influence has lived on in the music of many modern folk and psychedelic rock bands.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"pearls-before-swine-one-nation-underground-360359","title":"Pearls Before Swine – One Nation Underground (VG\/VG+) – LP, NL 1974","description":"\n

and surreal, end-of-days imagery. Issued in 1971, it reflects the band’s late-period shift towards more understated arrangements while keeping Rapp’s uneasy blend of tenderness, wit and spiritual unease at the centre. Across songs such as the title track and the aching Seventies-era folk cover Seasons in the Sun, the album extends Pearls Before Swine’s cult reputation as one of the most distinctive voices in American underground folk. Its atmosphere and lyrical vision helped define Rapp’s singular place in the era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\n    \u003c!-- Genres --\u003e\n    \n      \u003cp\u003eGenre: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/folk-vinyl-records\"\u003eFolk\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\n    \n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Release tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist: \u003c\/strong\u003e Tom Rapp, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pearls-before-swine-vinyl-records\"\u003ePearls Before Swine\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/reprise-records-record-label\"\u003eReprise Records\u003c\/a\u003e – RS 6442\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n          \n          \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003e LP, Album, Reissue\u003c\/div\u003e\n          \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnits: \u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/vinyl-records-store-australia\/country_australia\"\u003eAustralia\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReleased: \u003c\/strong\u003e  \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/all\/year_1979\"\u003e1979\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/folk-vinyl-records\"\u003eFolk\u003c\/a\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/folk\"\u003eFolk\u003c\/a\u003e\n          \n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Tracklist tab content --\u003e\n  \n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e1 Sonnet #65\u003cbr\u003e2 Once Upon A Time\u003cbr\u003e3 Raindrops\u003cbr\u003e4 City Of Gold\u003cbr\u003e5 Nancy\u003cbr\u003e6 Seasons In The Sun\u003cbr\u003e7 My Father\u003cbr\u003e8 The Man\u003cbr\u003e9 Casablanca\u003cbr\u003e10 Wedding\u003cbr\u003e11 Did You Dream Of\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Reprise Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43956064092225,"sku":"7524766","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1474\/5258\/files\/NC0zMjU5LmpwZWc.jpg?v=1779239204"},{"product_id":"pearls-before-swine-the-use-of-ashes-313595","title":"Pearls Before Swine – The Use Of Ashes (VG+\/VG+) – LP, AU","description":"\n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: \u003c\/strong\u003e Second Hand\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShips from: \u003c\/strong\u003e Melbourne\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedia: \u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good Plus (VG+)\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCover: \u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good Plus (VG+)\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n\n\n\n\u003cul class=\"tabs\"\u003e\n  \u003cli class=\"active\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRelease details\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTracklist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"tabs-content\"\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Description tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli class=\"active\"\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe Use Of Ashes is an LP by \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pearls-before-swine-vinyl-records\"\u003ePearls Before Swine\u003c\/a\u003e released on the Reprise Records label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n    \u003ch2 class=\"product-about-heading\"\u003eAbout this album\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe Use of Ashes is a striking 1970 album from Pearls Before Swine, the project led by songwriter Tom Rapp. Blending folk rock with psychedelic edges, the record sharpens the group’s unsettling mix of beauty, satire and quiet despair into one of their most memorable statements. Its songs move between delicate acoustic arrangements and bleak, surreal imagery, with moments like “The Jeweler” and “God Save the Child” showing Rapp’s gift for turning fragile melodies into something uneasy and lasting. As part of the early-1970s American underground, the album helped cement Pearls Before Swine’s reputation for singular, uncompromising songwriting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\n    \u003c!-- Genres --\u003e\n    \n      \u003cp\u003eGenre: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/folk-vinyl-records\"\u003eFolk\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\n    \n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Release tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pearls-before-swine-vinyl-records\"\u003ePearls Before Swine\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/reprise-records-record-label\"\u003eReprise Records\u003c\/a\u003e – RS 6405\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n          \n          \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003e LP, Album\u003c\/div\u003e\n          \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnits: \u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/vinyl-records-store-australia\/country_australia\"\u003eAustralia\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/folk-vinyl-records\"\u003eFolk\u003c\/a\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/folk\"\u003eFolk\u003c\/a\u003e\n          \n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Tracklist tab content --\u003e\n  \n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e1 The Jeweler\u003cbr\u003e2 From The Movie Of The Same Name\u003cbr\u003e3 Rocket Man\u003cbr\u003e4 God Gave The Child\u003cbr\u003e5 Song About A Rose\u003cbr\u003e6 Tell Me Why\u003cbr\u003e7 Margery\u003cbr\u003e8 The Old Man\u003cbr\u003e9 Riegal\u003cbr\u003e10 When The War Began\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Reprise Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44014926561345,"sku":"8612006","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1474\/5258\/files\/MS0zOTI4LmpwZWc_VeJR0QL.jpg?v=1780623513"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.dutchvinyl.com.au\/collections\/pearls-before-swine-vinyl-records\/media-condition_very-good-vg.oembed","provider":"Dutch Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
