Here's a long gone LP from 15 years back that sold out quick; a numbered (# 403) of only 500 made second pressing that is overall pretty impressive, containing a cool plastic/cardboard window cover & band photo insert... The 1969 first pressing is known to be of the rarest USA garage rock albums of them all and quickly commands $3000 to $5000 ... if you can't get one of those you might want to invest in the scarce next best thing...authorized by the band from original source tapes.

Stack was formed in Los Angeles in 1967 from a Surf/garage act called "The Vandells" ("Rick Gould", lead guitar) and another local act called "Wabash Spencer Band" aka legendary garage band "The Fabs" ("That's The Bag I'm In" b/w "Dinah Wants Religion" on the Cotton Ball label from Texas 1966)                                  Stack live 1968
Stack were actually pretty well known in their time, and gigged with big name groups - like the early "Alice Cooper" band,  Iron Butterfly, the "New Yardbirds", which was actually "Led Zeppelin" before they changed the name, "Buffalo Springfield", "Illinois Speed Press", "The Blues Image", "Flying Burrito Brothers" . . . the list goes on and on.

The album opens with a fuzzed-up version of "Poison Ivy", but the rest of the album is given over to standout originals by Stack, with lead guitarist Rick Gould"penning five of the nine cuts. "Only Forever" is a Power Pop/Psychedelic hybrid with some nice Fuzz guitar by Rick Gould together with Bob Ellis vigorous, potent drumming (perhaps the band's secret weapon). Buddy Clark's robust bass, too, is terrific and helps songs such as "Cars," "Everyday," and "Valleys" get completely inside the listener with uncommon force.  The album contains Powerhouse vocals, tight playing, distinctive songs, and muscular guitar work with plenty of Fuzz. The group had the whole package, it's really a crime they never hit the big time. The drums are up front and this record really pounds. One of the few early hardrock locals with memorable songs and a first class vocalist with range. "Da Blues" is a cool slab of acid blues that could only come from the late 60's and the highlight of this album is the awesome "Everyday", which is a classic of underground late 60s rock. Blue Cheer's "Vincebus Eruptum" album is another reference point for the music on this album...

Overall Stack demolish most of their contemporary hard rockers and either predate or demolish most of what came after in the genre. The drumming on this LP stands out a mile but the whole band are great.
