Unearthed from the shadows of 1969, Slippery When Wet by Hasting's Street Opera is a remarkable private press recording that blends underground psychedelic jazz-rock with improvisational spirit and mellow folk-rock sensibilities. Captured with a raw, homemade basement atmosphere, this obscure gem went largely unknown for decades before finally seeing a proper release on the Out-Sider label.
The album showcases a unique ensemble sound built around flute, electric guitar, Fender Jazz bass, piano, and drums, weaving through eight tracks that range from the sprawling opener "Nobody Knows" to a soulful take on "Summertime." The result is an intimate and adventurous record that sits at a compelling crossroads of jazz improvisation and psychedelic rock — a fascinating artifact of late-'60s American underground music.
