Description
NEIGHB'RHOOD CHILDR'N is a 1968 LP release on the Acta label # A-38005.
Although they began as the Navarros, an R&B and surf cover band, the Neighb'rhood Childr'n developed a persona of part garage rockers and part pseudo-psychedelia once they headed south from their Oregon roots to join the blossoming Haight-Ashbury hippie scene in San Francisco. This self-titled LP was the only one that they issued, despite an impressive run of live gigs throughout the Bay Area with the likes of the Grass Roots, Iron Butterfly, and even the Who during one of their earliest U.S. tours. The dozen tracks on this platter were cut by the Childr'n circa the Summer of Love and issued on the miniscule Acta imprint. While they may have modeled themselves after the acid rock associated with the likes of the Jefferson Airplane, the Neighb'rhood Childr'n were more dependent on wailing fuzz guitars. A few of Dyan Hoffman's (organ/tambourine/vocals) lead vocals are somewhat reminiscent of Grace Slick's work with the pre-Airplane Great Society -- especially on "Long Years in Space," "Patterns," and the quirky waltz "Happy Child." A homage to Frank Zappa's "Help, I'm a Rock" is "Chocolate Angel" right down to the Farfisa "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" break. Buried beneath the other manufactured-sounding psych is the R&B vibe on "Feeling Zero" and the frenetic "She's Got No Identification."
The jacket has a 4" & 2" split on the top edge and shows wear on the corners. The record is in NM condition. High bidder agrees to pay $4.00 shipping in the U.S
