Sixties British Psychedelic Legends ~ Rare "first" pressing
The MISUNDERSTOOD
Before The Dream...Faded
UK-Cherry Red 32
RARE Original British-ONLY vinyl first pressing of terrific Psychedelic garage glories, The Misunderstood...
Here's the original UK pressing from nearly 30 years ago, and was a rather limited specialty pressing way back then... "Before the Dream Faded" may be the closest thing to the Dead Sea Scrolls for devotees of early psychedelic music and garage rock. "Before the Dream Faded" is a rare document of a marginally famous band that was at the beginning of the UK underground music movement.
IF you're searching for the great lost psychedelic group of the 1960s, or the American version of the Yardbirds, this record miraculously fits the bill. A band of California expatriates who achieved recognition in the 60's London underground before they were forced to disband due to immigration and draft problems, this was an awesomely powerful lineup which intriguingly mixed psyched-raga-rock, blues-rock, and plain old Yardbird styled rave-ups around the amplified distortion wizardry of lead guitarist (on steel!) Glenn Ross Campbell (later in UK's Juicy Lucy). Recorded in late 1966, the six songs on side one show the group at the peak of their power, with striking 'heady' innovations and interplay which anticipate Jimi Hendrix and the Pink Floyd months before either had recorded. Campbell is one of the best unheralded rock guitarists; his playing suggests the missing link between the Yardbirds and Hendrix, with amazing amplified Middle Eastern whines, wails, and explosions. Despite some recklessly revelatory lyrics, the group's nerve-wrackingly daring time changes, Indian-like modes and unconventional song structures along with their otherworldly interpretations (Who Do You Love, I Unseen), create a killer thrust which is on par with the best efforts of the era. Side two consists of demos made before the group moved to London (some without Campbell). Although not as noteworthy as side one, it's still well worth hearing, including takes from their early garage band days (a weird cross between the Yardbirds and Beau Brummels), tentative early forays into blues-rock, and a revolutionary raga-rock treatment of the Yardbirds' I'm Not Talking. Although the Misunderstood released only a couple singles in their lifetime (1965-1966), this album (most of it previously unreleased) is still mindblowing, and really unlike anything you've ever heard before. Excellent liner notes and photos, too
