- USA - "Laurel" Records (private press / limited)
- Note: lots of interest in last weeks auction, sold to the lucky high bidder, here is our very final last other available copy held onto for several years...
- listen to the complete album below and decide for yourself ...
- just be forewarned:
- the infectious melodies grow upon each spin of the disc
- ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
- Long long gone high quality pressing, can't tell much difference in audio from this near 25-30 years ago 2nd pressing vinyl to personal original '69 copy.
- The 'Summer Sounds' album is filled with haunting songs and will stand humanity's test of time.
- ~ MINT ~
- The Summer Sounds were a New England group whose origin is a mystery, the one interesting fact is this album was released in 1969 and yet still has a 1965-66 garage sounds, the album is moody to its core and possibly is one of the finest moody garage albums to ever exist, It is fascinating that these teens were still playing a very melancholy and beautiful type of music in 69' when by this time bands were either going down the heavy psychedelic rock route or going the polar opposite and being utterly weak as folk styled singer-songwriters with no real backbone of emotions.
The Summer Sounds kept it real and in doing so kept their music was raw and alive, their sole album aptly named 'Up / Down' is a still largely unknown garage classic and anyone who loves this type of music (in particular the moody and subdued side of the genre) MUST own this album ... '69 original will cost an arm and a leg these days, +$1000 & rising...)

[isdntekvideo] Ten amazingly wonderful Vox Continental organ led garage-pop songs, eight of the tracks are delightful originals penned by band members themselves and also featured are two exquisite cover versions of The Spencer Davis Groups' - Gimme Some Lovin' and The Zombies' classic 'I Love You'.

The Summer Sounds sleeve is as illusive as the band themselves and so honoring the group by naming the band members according to the album sleeve
Paul - Bass and Vocals
Joe - Organ, Songwriter, Backing Vocals
Dave - Guitar
Roy - Drums
Included below, selected four of the tracks from the album for your listening pleasure ... You may as well own this cool album, as both sides are filled with gems! )...
- Here are just 4 of the 10 stand-outs:
Small World - A wonderful opening track to any album, 'Small World' just tells it like it is.... the teen trauma in the chorus is something to behold "Why Did We Break-Up? I really Don't Know...I sit here thinking of things long ago"..... This kid is hurting and the listener knows it, Anyone can relate to these types of emotions.... surely??
Lonely Beach - This track is a favorite on the album, to love is the haunting organ chords, the deep bass line and the mournful lyrics full of abandon and despair....Many will TOTALLY 'get' this song, as it is a mirror-reflection of life .... an amazing track!!!
The Leaves Are Turning Brown - Another moody classic, this one has been selected on a couple of 'garage comps' over the years.... The vibe of the song again is full of reflection, rejection and yearning and again the lyrics hit you in the guts with powerful lyricism such as that which is in the chorus "I was a fool to waste my time with you".... total awe inspiring realism.... the song's writing craft is something to uphold, the chord changes are simply beautiful and it is just a great magical track, The Summer Sounds were amazing song writers.
Summer Girl - Just a beautiful song, Can't write anything except a small personal message .... "If you are ( you know who you are) reading this, this one is for you... maybe time will allow us see each other again one day"
SO folks that is The Summer Sounds, they released possibly the greatest break-up LP ever released and faded into obscurity, thankfully they released this amazing album for people like me to enjoy and listen to.... Suggesting if you dig the songs above, to buy the album.... it's all very great throughout! - CONDITION:
- The cover: rated: MINT TOP COPY, perfect, 4 sharp corners ... there are no delete marks, no split seams, no bends, and no writing ...
- The vinyl: Rated: MINT TOP COPY, perfect with perfect Laurel labels are clean
LONG LONG GONE LP EDITION
A cool addition to anyone's music library!
