🌱 RECORD OF THE WEEK — IT’S A BEAUTIFUL DAY

Hello, September. Hello, Spring. 🌸

What better way to welcome a new season than with It’s A Beautiful Day – Today?

Born out of the late-'60s San Francisco psychedelic scene, It's A Beautiful Day blended psychedelic rock with folk, classical influences and some wonderfully unconventional instrumentation. By the time Today arrived in 1973, the band had evolved into a new line-up and a slightly different sound — but they hadn't lost that unmistakably dreamy, colourful spirit. 🌈

🎶 It's A Beautiful Day – Today
Cover Condition: Very Good (VG)
Media Condition: Very Good (VG)
Price: R220.00

Available now at Revolution Records:
revolutionrecords.co.za/product/its-a-beautiful-day-today/

A new month. A new season.
And if you've been paying attention… you might have noticed that something has been growing behind the scenes. 🌿👀

And truly… Today was a perfect day!
🌸 Welcome to Spring. The garden is blooming…
