1967 FACTORY SHRINK WRAP ORIGINAL!
THE SOUL SURVIVORS
When The Whistle Blows, Anything Goes
USA - CRIMSON RECORDS - LP 502 STEREO
ORIGINAL 1967 first pressing of the r&b laced rock band from Philadelphia at their peak... they scored the timeless smash hit "Expressway To Your Heart" in 1967...here's a TOP copy of their (first) original album from 43 years ago...
***STILL IN THE ORIGINAL FACTORY SHRINK WRAPPER ***
The SOUL SURVIVORS came together after meeting in a car crash on the New Jersey Turnpike. The vocal group of Kenney Jeremiah, Charles and Richard Ingui were in one car and Chuck Trois (guitar), Paul Venturini (Organ) and the rather anonymous Joe (drums) were in another car going the other way on a foggy night back in 1966.
The lead track, ‘Do You Feet It’ is introduced by the rousing pre-whistle rally cry, “When The Whistle Blows Anything Goes”. And ‘anything goes’ is so apt.
With a touch of The Doors and old R&B Rolling Stones spirit, you can see underground Mod fans going for that ‘authentic’ soul feel, particularly on ‘Too Many Fish In The Sea’.
The Sam Cooke take of ‘A Change Is Gonna Come’ is better than their version of ‘Please, Please, Please’ but you can see they must have been a great show band and the sleeve notes tell us there were road blocks (appropriately) when the Soul Survivors played gigs.
‘Expressway (To Your Heart)’ is genuinely worth some respect and has that northern soul crossover feel. A sharp 2 minutes 19 seconds on LP that apparently “sounded more and more like Jimi Hendrix, doubled up on LSD” the more they played it live.
You can see how they got to the ‘free’ thinking Ashanti-indo-jam of ‘Taboo - India’; it’s like modal acid man. The Grateful Dead would have stretched this track to at least to one side of a triple album live set.
They get the ‘big’ treatment including ‘Explosion In Your Soul’ (with sound effects and ‘Hold On I’m Comin’ riff); ‘Impossible Mission’ and ‘Poor Man’s Dream’ are even better.
As an interesting aside, you’ve got to check Steve “Sandy Kay” Leigh’s character assassination of Richard Ingui (originally posted online over 10 years ago!) after being a member of the Soul Survivors for 12 months with his Hammond organ and how the experience led to Leigh’s move to Stax Studios in Memphis. You can hear in this LP the conflict between the soul and the stoned (particular, ‘Hey Gyp’). Richard made his apologies (in 2003) to Steve for past youthful excesses. Just goes to show it’s never too late.
