  1. HARD & HEAVY 1968 GARAGE/BLUES BURNER

  3. RARE and essential !!!

    One of the all-time greats :::: A BIG BAD BLUES BOOMER from 1968 !!!

    Original 1968 first pressing on the obscure, highly collected PARAGON label...

    Jack Boswell at the ALLIED Records helm (Reign Ghost, Plastic Cloud), got word of the mighty McKenna Mendelson Blues band and their rising flame of popularity, decided to cull their 1968 sessions and released it on his PARAGON RECORDS 'Tax Shelter' imprint (kinda like a B movie atmosphere for music releases). Supposedly, this was done without the knowledge of the band members, but remains far and away their best album.

    SO, if you like raw, intense, scorching blues-rock, this one is loaded with nasty fuzz guitar and rumbling bass & raw throaty vocals, could this one be for you???

    This album, simply titled BLUES, is so raw and powerful it utterly blows away their most popular album " STINK" Lp ... Their "BLUES" Lp has the sound of FULL THROTTLE to the floor and rattling, the band, exploding....

    Example, "Bad Woman" is highlighted by over-the-top gritty distortion on the guitar...same for the lead off, "Drive You" which is a power infused onslaught... All throughout, BLUES on PARAGON is the sound of tight musicians on the bubbling brink with energy and explosive talent and the vibe of being young at the time of the cultural 'garage band' revolution of the '60s....the extended workouts in 11:04 "Bad Women Are Killing Me" and 10:12 "Help Me" are miles ahead similar bands in '68/'69


    One other main reason that makes BLUES standout, is that it has the involvement of one bass master, DENNY GERRARD , who hailed from the band     THE PAUPERS ...Denny, was voted best bass player, in a Jazz publication (no less!) 2 years in a row; in the USA!
  4. (Think  Jack Bruce Of Cream)
  5. ..........................................................................


  7. Drive You ....2:59



    Ramblin' on My Mind     ....3:32



    Toilet Bowl Blues     ....1:58



    Bad Women Are Killing Me ....    11:04



    B:

    Pretty Woman ....    3:33



    Born Under a Bad Sign ....    5:46



    Help Me ....    10:12


           CONDITION:

  9. The cover: rated: near M- front cover to VG++ back cover ...only light wear starting on back cover  ... the 55 years ago ...no split seams, no bends, and no writing = SOLID & COLORFUL !

  1. The vinyl: Rated: near M-  looks & plays clean ... hard to find, yet this vinyl first press burns ... 55 years onward ... good luck finding better ... both Paragon labels are clean



A cool addition to anyone's music library!
