RARE 1967 "ORIGINAL" PRIVATE PRESS GARAGE "BATTLE"
BATTLE OF THE BANDS
VOL.1
...USA - REN-VELL Records = LP 317
RARE and "cool" 1967 ORIGINAL small local North East original private pressing of a raunchy garage "battle" consisting of some top bands that never made it to vinyl other than maybe a one-off 45, if that....one of the *best* "Battle Of The Bands" albums around being so solid ... fuzzed-out primitive pounders running up and down BOTH sides...Many years ago was selling for $300 in collector circles...not getting any easier to find after 44 years....
This is a classic garage LP, with all the bands culled from Westchester County and the northern Bronx, New York.
For instance, one of the best songs on the record is undoubtedly 'the Traits' "High on a Cloud", an antisocial ode to chemical escape written by their singer, Mike Carrol.
I got a nickel bag, my eyes are drooping, they're starting to sag
Since you left me girl, well I think that life is a drag
I'll show you girl that you can't keep on running around
Because I'm high on a cloud and I ain't never coming down
Well you left me girl, with two feet down on the ground
I'll show you girl that you can't keep on running around
I'll get me a bag and I'll show you just what I can do
I'll get so high I'll wave goodbye to you
Cause I'm high on a cloud, high on a cloud,
High on a cloud, and I ain't comin' down no more
Another great original is the Henchmen's "Say," written by their guitarist and vocalist John Wallin. The drummer bashes away behind a leaden fuzz riff, segueing to a relatively complex bridge. Andy Porter lays down a good, crude "fuzz" solo, with nice tremolo at the end...
Like we advised, highlights are everywhere, including "Respect" by "The", followed by the Gyration's take on "Stepping Stone" and the Night Rider's version of "Jenny Take a Ride".
One of our faves is the lead off track by Raunch doing a wicked cool & growling primitive pounder called "Hungry" that almost gives the Paul Revere classic a run for its money...
as for others, there are a coupleof melodic groovers like "Lolly Pop Train" by the Mystics and "The Glass Toy" by the Reptiles, very catchy. The most out of touch with the times is "Angel Baby" by the Vectors of the Bronx, where Carol Pecchio's fine vocal performance is buried in echo behind the drums and bass. Some of the others including the Orphans out-of-tune vocals on the Byrds' "Feel a Whole Lot Better" delivers the 'charming' status that has good instrumental playing behind the slightly wacked vocals.
