The Guess Who-Canned Wheat

This is their fifth record and the first to gain them a wider acclaim outside Canada. The first side has three great songs “Laughing”.”Undone” and “No Time”,although “No Time” is the original five and a half minute version and not the shorter one re-recorded for their next record American Woman and released as a single.Also on side one is the Jazzy “6 A.M. Or Nearer” with some flute bt Burton Cummings. Side two has “Of A Dropping Pin” that reminds me of the Drive-By-Truckers song “When The Pin Hits The Shell”. The centrerpiece of the side is the eleven minute “Key” with a few verses of a religious nature followed by some jamming with more flute, guitar and bass and a long drum solo.The side ends with “Fair Warning” about the dangers of starting a musical carer spoken with a Scottish accent. A good record and one I bought about three years ago. It’s an original pressing from 1969 and cost me about $20. The cover is in good shape and the record is in like new condition.
