Description: (THIRD ESTATE) THE AGONISTES 2 CD’S (LION PROD) 2006 SEALED NEW TERRIFIC CD ISSUE OF “YEARS BEFORE THE WINE” AND UNRELEASED “THE AGONISTES” ONE REVIEWER SAID THISThis CD is actually a dual release by the Third Estate and an earlier incarnation named Agonistes. The dual disc package devotes one disc to each band. Of course, The Third Estate's "Years Before the Wine" is a true classic among folk/psych albums, and it's reissue is worth picking up anywhere you can find it (not recommended: holding out for an original. I don't recall ever seeing one for sale in 33 years!). Though not released until 1976, it was recorded two years earlier and is a relatively undiscovered "gem" from LA. And though folk seems to be the overall genre this record would fit in, there is some slightly harder material on hand as well. All tracks are delicately crafted and excellently recorded, featuring just the right amount of psychedelic influences to perfectly compliment each song without bashing the listener over the head with effects. Disc two includes all earlier material, primarily the unreleased album they recorded as Agonistes. This is also excellent, though slightly off the pace of "Years...", due perhaps to a somewhat cruder sound. Recorded in 1973, it is mostly Christian folk/psych, with gentle mat'l, featuring acoustic guitar, and treated electric guitar effects. As bonus cuts, the disc includes 4 earlier tracks, 2 recorded in 1968. A fat-ass booklet completes the package, containing complete lyrics and band history, as well as lots of pics. Overall, a very impressive release, and highly recommended!Track listingThe Third Estate1.1Years Before the Wine10:171.2Useless Things3:331.3Look at Me8:411.4Kings2:311.5Puppet City8:071.6Think It's Time4:401.7The Third Estate5:31Agonistes2.1Agonistes' Funeral4:352.2Sing His Song3:282.3Think About That3:552.4Sorrow's Death2:352.5The Sun and the Season4:102.6Searching2:572.7I Thought I Heard You Calling3:472.8Resurrection3:582.9I Thought I Heard You Calling (Single Vers.)3:482.10Sing His Song (Single Vers.)3:322.11Years Before the Wine (Demo Vers.)7:352.12Teenage Love3:362.13Brand New Day3:332.14Death of a Musician7:47Total length: 102:36 ....
