The American Breed
Bend Me, Shape Me
Very Rare original US Pop Psych LP released on Acta Records in 1968. 1st US stereo pressing.
Their second album contained their massive hit “Bend Me Shape Me” (ironically, British horn-driven band AMEN CORNER, also recorded this song). It’s strange how different they looked in one year’s passing. They must have had a makeover at the hands of Dot Records management.The songs are far better than on the first album.
Their version of The Monkees’ “Sometimes in the Morning” is just as good as Micky Dolenz’s sung classic. Their version of Chuck Jackson’s “Something You Got” smokes! Containing a stop-start drum break “Don’t give the drummer some, give it to me!!!”.
Their version of The Impressions’ “I’ve Been Trying” can bring you to tears. The rest of the album is top-notch gritty Chicago garage rock. I can’t give more honors to this classic! (Kupa99 RYM)
