Description
Here's an ultra rare 1969 original canadian copy of Edmonton, Canada, rock band SHAME TREE 45: ''Junior saw it happen / My little buttercup'' on Quality records, 1938X. Great psych/garage rock, side A is a cover of a Steve Miller tune, side B was written by Stephen Palmer. Here's what I could find on SHAME TREE:
There is not a heck of lot out there in cyberland on Edmonton's Shame Tree. It appears that the group was most probably a five-piece consisting of singer Ed Kilbride, guitarist Al Mix and keyboardist Pete Switzer, with bassist George Kozak and drummer Nick Petruk heading up the rear guard. What is certain is that the lads were one of the many Albertans - along with others like Barry Allen, Wes Dakus and the Rebels, the Happy Feeling and the Gainsborough Gallery - to record down at Norman Petty's famed Clovis, New Mexico studios...on March 26, 1969 to be precise. The topside is a relatively faithful, if somewhat sloppy, rendering of the Steve Miller stormer 'Junior Saw It Happen' off Children of the Future, complete with the sort of hard-driving organ and gruff vocal that might have gotten it spun at a Rebels party or two. Over on the bottom side is the underwhelming 'My Little Buttercup', the band's awkward stab at romance, biker style ("She's a big bad mama / and I'm her favourite son"), with those keyboards bolstering Kilbride's best Jim Morrison yowls.
