A pastoral psychedelic folk stroll in the sunshine, with a few tracks reminiscent of 60’s soft psych. Very good!!”\u003c\/p\u003eACLN1007CD Artist - Friends\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: ROCK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandling Note: **Please allow an additional 5 business days for this item's shipment.**\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 4\/25\/10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal ID: JIT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Love Vinyl Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49253814829298,"sku":"S111V6-FP6P-8N","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/7018\/9810\/files\/friends-fragile_uIAO5.jpg?v=1779629674","url":"https:\/\/discandvinyl.com\/products\/fragile","provider":"DiscandVinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
