The Patron Saints' 1969 album Fohhoh Bohob is considered by many collectors to be one of the most highly sought-after privately-pressed records ever released. Only 100 copies were produced originally, now fetching prices of $2500 and beyond. This CD reissue is the only authorized version available, reproduced from the original master tapes by Patron Saint member Eric Bergman and Mike Albertini. All artwork was taken from authenic sources. In addition, three previously unreleased tracks have been added to the original nine.
Thirty years ago, three aspiring teenage rockers from the suburbs of New York City, Eric Bergman, Jon Tuttle and Paul D'Alton, decided to record an album of their own material. In a living room. They were told, of course, that such a proposition was idiotic...nothing would ever come of it! Undeterred, the boys, aptly named The Patron Saints, set up their ersatz recording studio and, using only two consumer-grade reel-to-reel tape decks and a collection of borrowed microphones, proceeded to spend about three weeks creating their home-grown "masterpiece." When they had finished it (after having to borrow money from various parents to get 100 albums pressed), they kept a few copies for themselves, used some for promotional purposes (that was the point after all, wasnt it?), and ultimately gave away the rest, often indiscriminately.
Not a bad idea, as it turned out. Over the next 20 or so years, as the resulting LP Fohhoh Bohob somehow found its way into international consciousness, it became one of the most highly regarded and sought-after independently-released albums ever produced, often commanding huge sums of money for an original copy. The demand for this album was so great, in fact, that European bootlegs began surfacing. Patron Saint Records released a legitimate reissue using the original master tapes and artwork (with two additional bonus tracks on a 7" single) in late 1997, immediately followed by a CD version (with yet another bonus track). Fans just cant seem to get enough of Fohhoh Bohob... (u/tormdra posting on r/vintageobscura)
