Musa (180 gram pressing) ... LP Strata East/Pure Pleasure (UK), 1974. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... Temporarily Out Of Stock

Strata East/Pure Pleasure (UK), 1978. New Copy (reissue)... $34.99 44.98 About June 1, 2021
A fantastic little record – and very much the kind of set that the Strata East label was created to represent!

Arlo Guthrie may not be one of the best-remembered folkies of the 60s, but he sure made waves with this classic debut and the side-long title song!
