New Additions: One St. Stephen self-titled album (1975)

There are few albums that sit in as legendary a status as the self-titled 1975 release by One St. Stephen on Owl. Whether it was on a 2000s message board talks at Donewaiting.com, or interviewing people for the book, this release stood alone as one of the most sought after in it's original form. Legend has it that only three hundred or so copies were originally pressed, and it's has entered into elite collector status, fetching over a grand for a first press. Later incarnations, both on vinyl and compact disc, have made actually getting a hold of the music easier. Which is good, because this deserves the hype - a psychedelic slab of folk and rock that's both centered and freaky weird.
