Jeff Moore – The Youngest Son
Along with Bent Wind this is one of the most rare psych/folk lp’s outta Canada. It usually sells for over $1000 so I was excited when this was reissued in a limited print run of 300. From what I can tell it’s a high school record from 1974. It’s a nice mellow delicate folk/psych record that really grows on you. There’s a little bit of everything here, a few loner folk cuts (“is it you” being my favorite) a few femme tracks featuring Christina Becker and even a little flute and sax on a couple of songs.

Jeremy played this while we enjoyed salmon schmeared onion bagels. I was intrigued and now I fear I will not be complete without a limited reissue. I am dealing with it, and have since purchased two tubs of salmon bagel schmear, in hopes of rekindling some of that magical, mystical listening setting.
I was at a record show in Toronto recently. A vendor was selling a relatively knackered copy for $100. Probably could have brought him down to $75. Should’ve bought it. Dang.
naw, that copy in toronto was TOTALLED. buying it would have been total record-as-object fetish. he said that someone offered him 50 after the show if he didn’t sell it though, so yeah he was taking offers.
Hi there to all of you. I am absolutely floored that this little project that I did when I was 16 has become sought after. I had two original songs on the album. I would be interested in knowing who produced the limited edition.
Well you have found me. This was my album done when I was 16. Christina was kind enough to call me and let me know some were looking for the record.
I’ve shared many a triple ginger cookie Jeff. Does that make me kinda famous?
