Lonesome Stone was recorded sometime in 1973 by "Reflection Records,6 Eastbourne Avenue,London W3" and illustrated what JP Milwaukee's core group had become once they arrived in England.Original caste album of rock musical performed by members of the Sheep.Jim Palosarri and Matt Spransy of Servant both appear-a couple of these songs would appear on future Servant lps.A pair of tunes lifted from the Sheep’s Myrrh UK lp(‘Changes’ and the title track),though the music is not quite as aggressive.Several are simple acoustic numbers,others show the group’s familiar organ-based rock sound.Randy Stonehill’s novelty song ‘Vegetables’ appears(off his impossible-to-find Get Me Out Of Hollywood lp).‘Where Do We Go From Here’ has some nice spacey reverb.Includes seventeen songs structured around the spiritual journey of the lead character Stone.Other characters include Poppy,Bear,Milwaukee,Queenie,Poppy,Organo,Slim and a whole lot more.
