"Sleepy Hollow" a RARE power pop nugget

I normally never do straight album downloads on this blog, but this is a rare exception. “Sleepy Hollow” is one of those rare and obscure records from 1972 that was released as a tax scam (see the interview link below) and never noticed by the public. The music is similar to classic sound of The Beatles, Badfinger, or The Hudson Brothers. I’m open to suggestions as to who the band actually is and if any information can be found about them. The only info on them is identified on The Acid Archives and that isn’t much: “So this album gets big points for nostalgia value; like Blue Ash, Badfinger, Zerfas, Anonymous, We All Together, Jade and so on, it gives comfort to people who wish the Beatles never broke up.” For power pop fans, it’s unearthed treasure. I also found the era of tax scam records fascinating. So enjoy this one.
