Secret Seven Records is proud to release the first ever reissue of the lost psych-folk LP 'Goodby Sunball' by cult favorite, Michael Yonkers.  Privately released in 1974, 'Goodby Sunball' was recorded at Yonkers' home studio a few years after 'Microminature Love' and just before 'Lovely Gold'.  Remastered from the original LP by Ben Tuttle.
 
Limited to 500 copies.

"The music for 'Goodby Sunball' was written during the recovery period following serious spine surgery. The surgery had not gone well, i was laid up for months, and had to learn to walk again.  So, the music was written using an acoustic guitar, while laying in bed.  When i was able to be up and around more, i started recording the songs...a little at a time.It took about 7 months. i recorded the tracks in the little studio i had in my place.  It was all recorded on two-channel, tube type machines (back and forth between machines).  The vocals were done in the bathroom, to give an expanded sound." - Michael Yonkers
