TOP MINT ....Original 1968 first pressing

By 1968 original Cryan' Shames member James Fairs, left the group, the Cryan' Shames continued to record and perform with a new lineup -- featuring Saturday's Children alumnus Dave Carter on guitar and former Squires/Boston Tea Party member Alan Dawson on drums and recorded their final album, "Synthesis." This pegs the group's interest as drawing from both American West Coast pop groups, as well as stars like the Beatles, to make relatively adventurous pop-rock. Among the highlights on Synthesis are two standout tracks that immediately grab the listener: "First Train to California", a nice sunshine pop grooves drawing from Brian Wilson peak Beach Boys. The other is "Greenberg, Glickstein, David Smith and Jones", a full blown psychedelic rock song, with instruments turned up, phased production, and everything. While you've got to give them credit  for trying give them marks for trying, Vocalist Issac Guillory may have discovered drugs, because his two pop epics ("A Master's Fall" and "Symphony of the Wind") close out both sides of the album. They sound like the band was emulating the trippier side of the Moody Blues' 'Threshold Of A Dream' approach. The chorus of his regular psych-pop song "The Painter" is also close to a parody: "I'm the funny painter man (he's the funny painter man)." A couple of the other tracks are also good ("Baltimore Oriole" and "Sweet Girl of Mine").
