Original 1966 U.S.A. first pressing in bold MONO ...the mono format contains a bold beefy punch that suits the overall sound of the music within so greatly....
This is a very surprising 1st LP by Chicago's BUCKINGHAMS and sounds nothing like the hits machine they became, rather a high energy teen scene garage-rock crew who lay out a impressive 2 full sides that caps off with their massive "Kind Of A Drag" which put them on the road to fame & fortune...
The Buckinghams first LP is unlike anything they would ever record again. Sure, the title track was a killer top 10 smash but the rest of the LP is given over to garage, blue-eyed soul, blues, and British Invasion influenced raw rock. It’s all good too, sung beautifully and played very tightly. You’ll be surprised when you put this gem on the turntable, if only for the two masterful garage punkers from the group’s USA tenure, “Don’t Want To Cry” and “I’ve Been Wrong.” These two tracks alone make Kind of a Drag worth a purchase. “Sweets For My Sweet” is also given a nice garage pop reading with it’s raw guitar work and smooth organ sounds.Other standouts: the garage pop of “Makin’ Up & Breakin’ Up,” a superb blue-eyed soul song titled “Love Ain’t Enough” and “Beginners’ Love,” great Beatles inspired rock n roll. Even the album’s “Virginia Wolf,” is skillfully performed, in fact the whole album is very engaging, lacking any weak spots or noticeable mistakes. There’s lots of energy, thought and professionalism put into this music – these guys must have been one hell of a club band back in the day. The youthful energy in the playing and the Buckingham’s willingness to tackle different musical genres is what makes this LP so exciting – a must if you’re into garage-rock. The Yardbirds, the Kinks, and the Who were strong influences on the early Buckinghams as they had yet to fall into the radio pop-perfection hit-making trap that was to come.
