Hold on a minute...the Lost Generation had:



(1) a far-out name that SOUNDS like it should belong to a psych band

(2) and look at that cover, the title and artist's name is written in a psychedelic font



If you saw this album sleeve and didn't know what it was, even though it's on a soul-identified label, you could very easily mistake it for a lost acid-rock LP. He was basically trying to say that this is soul, not psych...which is totally understandable! Problem is, he just worded it wrong ("this is a 'black' group" is kinda crass; that's definitely a questionable move).



He's also selling a Jimmy Ruffin album, too, and he makes no black/white distinction there.



I'll also add that he doesn't quite know what psychedelia is...he STILL persists in calling this album "psych" (see the eBay headline). He also mistakenly refers to a 1966 Turtles LP as psychedelic, too (that band did get more psychy later on, but not on the album shown on the eBay site).

I agree. Cut the fool some slack, Soulstrut racial police.
