RARE 1967 ORIGINAL VINYL COLLECTIBLE on the highly sought after "TOWER" Records label of the sixties...

Simon Dupree and the Big Sound were an obscure a British 'beat' rock band formed by three brothers, Derek Shulman,  Phil Shulman, and Ray Shulman, who went on to become Gentle Giant, but that's an entirely different story..., SIMON DUPREE AND THE BIG SOUND were formed in early 1966 from the remnants of two bands, The Road Runners from Portsmouth and The Classics from Gosport, UK. ... They also recorded as the The Moles with the record We Are The Moles.

SIMON DUPREE AND THE BIG SOUND's "WITHOUT RESERVATIONS" came out in the states on Tower Records known for soundtracks to biker movies, The Smoke, The Standells, The Chocolate Watchband and weirdo psych. The "Big Sound" were a British group and strictly cut R&B beatrockers with touches of freakbeat. Standard but powerful R&B/rock 'n roll like the Animals but without the "black" vocal. A 45rpm was taken from the album "I See The Light", again, a powerful slice of R&B beatrock. 

It's hard to understand how they made a complete change and become a psychedelic/flower power monster group "Kites" releasing single after single of watered-down mind warping music! "Simon Dupree & The Big Sound"  will appeal to fans of the MC5's "Back in the USA" Lp and lovers of the British Invasion sound. If you like British freakout/experimentation dig for the "Kites" singles compilation lp!
