CREME SODA - TRICKY ZINGERS - TRINITY CST 11-LA

Original 1975 U.S. STEREO LP ( THIS IS THE FIRST PRESS WITH THE GROUP PICTURE COVER!)

SUPER RARE ORIGINAL FIRST pressing of Creme Soda's Tricky Zingers lp - SUPER RARE in any condition, but this one is VERY nice indeed - cover is in shrinkwrap (shrink has breathholes and everything) Released by Trinity Records in 1975!!! This copy comes with not one, but 2 (!!) thermal copied (so you know they are from back in the day) PROMO sheets - one sheet of reviews and another is a letter from Eddie Flowers of Gizmos and Gulcher magazine fame to the people at Trinity Records regarding the band!!! That may make this a UNIQUE copy of this record as I have never seen the promo sheets offered elsewhere!

Liner notes on the back by Greg Shaw, who refers to the track "Chewing Gum" as "punk" and says they have "the freshest new sound of 1975." There are also liners by someone known as "Nozmoe Wrabenawitz." This is a truly great pre-punk record that often sounds more like '66 than '75 on the garage tracks, and truly wild on songs like "Chewing Gum."

An impressive and unfairly overlooked LP. Despite the vintage this has a strong 1966/67-sound, I'm in particular reminded of 2nd-tier Sunset Strip bands like Fenwyck or Fifo-era West Coast Pop Art. Strong folkrock/early psych songs with hooks and originality, while a lo-fi recording adds some garage ambience. Two experimental tracks with drone effects and backwards guitars are perhaps the highpoint, while a couple rootsy r'n'r numbers are a bit misplaced. Two tracks from the LP appear on Endless Journey vol 2. Member Billy Tanon made an LP in 1982 ("Free man's rainbow", Trinity). 
1975, not a year you might associate with psychedelia, overblown ELP "synth-workouts", maybe. Then up popped Creme Soda in Milwaukee. Their songs perfectly combine pop harmonies with a harder sound, every track is good. "Tonight", "Keep it Heavy" and "Roses All Around" are moving and brilliant. "Numero Uno" features a "debate" between kind man and nasty man which makes for an interesting, menacing song. Billy Tanon was arrested for broadcasting to the world from the fifth storey ledge of a building that "Creme Soda is more than just soda pop". So you know it must be good, nearly 38 years on their efforts still stand up. The LP sports one of the best "local" sleeves, with the band looking beyond cool sitting on the sidewalk. Dig Jim Wilson's sideburns and Ron Juntunens hard-nut stare. Style wise these guys give Zerfas and Rayne a run for their money.

~~~
Despite the fact that everyone seems to like it, this great latter day psych album has yet to get its due. They could do pretty much anything, from ballads to melodic soft rock to crazed rockabilly to wasted psychedelia with Iggy-like vocals. A few songs here tread in truly untested waters. Flat production dulls the impact a little, but this a major album worthy of a high-quality reissue. This is another band that lends credence to the theory that the very best psychedelia was made in the 70s.
