Sugar Creek released "Please Tell A Friend" in 1969. I found nothing about this group on the Internet, so I cannot offer you anything more than a critique of what I heard on the LP. I can tell you one thing for certain, this is an assorted group of songs. All of the cuts are rock oriented with some blues, and even some gospel elements (Heavenly Road) amongst the mix. The vocal style and sound is typical for the year it was released.
The sound mix is really good; a lucid and brisk sound is maintained for the entire run of the LP. Each song manages to hold its own, and that's why a very solid and consistent recording is presented here in the vinyl format. An added bonus is the gatefold sleeves with vintage black and white photographs of the group. The group members’ were Gary Gans, Todd McKinney, John Edwards, and Malcolm McKinney. The songwriter’s credits are listed on each song but the all-important listing of what each member contributed (instruments, vocals) is not. There is no listing for whom played what, just the track listing and a large snapshot of the group with the corresponding names underneath each picture. This is as obscure as it gets folks; I have always been attracted to the obscure and different, and I tend to root for the underdog. Having a shroud of mystery and the unknown around something tends to add to an experience. So for those of you that think those aspects are appealing, you will be able to appreciate everything this album does and does not offer. The saving grace for the lack of details about the group is the overall quality in music, sound and presentation. This is a very good album. Pick it up…and please tell a friend.
