Blues Project
Planned Obsolescence
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

1968 Deep groove gold label stereo original in shrink. The album is known for its unique blend of rock, blues, and folk music, and its politically charged lyrics which address issues such as the Vietnam War and civil rights. The album features the lineup of Richard Greene, John Gregory, Donald Kretmar, Andy Kulberg, and Roy Blumenfeld.

The album was recorded at the peak of the band's popularity, following the success of their previous album "Projections". "Planned Obsolescence" marked a departure from the band's earlier sound, incorporating elements of jazz and psychedelia into their music. The album's title is a reference to the concept of planned obsolescence, which describes the deliberate design of products to become obsolete or outdated over time, in order to encourage consumers to purchase newer models.

Despite receiving positive reviews from critics, "Planned Obsolescence" was not as commercially successful as the band's previous album. Today, "Planned Obsolescence" is considered a cult classic among fans of 1960s rock music, and is regarded as one of the Blues Project's most innovative and daring albums.
