SCARCE & clean 1969 original first pressing of the psychedelic popsike gem & first album by Sppoky Tooth back when they appeared with a swinging underground sound...

The material, mostly written by Gary Wright, was a mixture of Rock, Blues and Prog with Psychedelic influences, performed with a dense heavy sound dominated by Wright's organ, and Luther Grosvenor played some fantastic guitar licks and the rhythm section was second to none with Ridley's heavy but virtuosic pulsations and Kellie's spectacular pyrotechnics. Together with Harrison's incredible vocal abilities, which combined the forces of everything from Robert Plant, via Rod Stewart to Roger Chapman, the band had the ability to outshine any if its contemporaries, and they certainly did a fantastic job on their debut album, which is an incredible blast of energy and ingenuity, turning it into an instant classic. Although the band was still searching for its own unique approach, the variety of styles works well here and adds to the album's appeal and Spooky Tooth has a tone similar to Traffic's first album with its psychedelic take on the influential popsike music of the '60s. Standout tracks like "Society's Child" and "Tobacco Road" are included, but original songs like the mod-psych pop craft in "It Hurts You So" and "Bubbles" (with its Beatles Rubber Soul era sensibility) are the real standouts. The cheery, psychedelic "It's All About a Roundabout" is the catchiest number by far. On this dreamy cut, vocalist/keyboardist Gary Wright demonstrates some sharp melodic and compositional instincts. Although Spooky Tooth eventually became better-known for their straightforward blues-rock, the trippy pop of this first album counts as a career highlight for the group. Fans of late-'60s British rock are definitely advised to check out this impressive release..

SPOOKY TOOTH formed in October 1967, out of a combination of The Ramrods (1960 - late 1963), The V.I.P.'s (late 1963 - April 1967) and Art (April — October 1967).
