Just Like Gold: Live At the Matrix 1966 is the first in an extensively-planned series on High Moon Records of authentic location recordings from legendary San Francisco venue The Matrix. In some ways, the epicenter of the city’s incipient rock explosion, from 1965 to 1971 this tiny club hosted not only the top movers and shakers of San Francisco rock such as the Airplane, Dead and Big Brother, but also a host of lesser-known yet no less worthy acts in the rock, blues, jazz and folk fields. Our debut release by The Final Solution showcases a legendary Bay Area folk-punk quartet that never even got to release a record, yet whose cutting-edge sound and style brims with the heady air of early psychedelia. Bootlegged in the past, this limited-edition, fully authorized release comes from the master tapes and is packaged in a handsome sleeve with a booklet filled with rare photos and detailed historical information. It provides an exciting and instructive listen for any collector or fan interested in the amazing early San Francisco scene.
