               THE BLUES MAGOOS

       PSYCHEDELIC LOLLIPOP

           USA - (red) Mercury Records - MG 21096 MONO [PROMO]

The BLUES MAGOOS were formed in 1964 as "The Trenchcoats". The band made a name for itself in various clubs in New York's Greenwich Village. By 1966 the band had changed its name to fit in with the psychedelic vibe of the times - to the Bloos Magoos, though they changed that to the more conventional Blues Magoos. Sounding like their name, the group's sound was of the garage psychedelic variety. Mercury Records signed the band to a record deal in late 1966 and the group's debut album, Psychedelic Lollipop was released shortly thereafter. It was one of the first records to contain the word "Psychedelic" on the sleeve (along with the 13th Floor Elevators' first album, and The Deep's Psychedelic Moods, both also from 1966). The group's biggest song, "(We Ain't Got) Nothin' Yet" was released as a single in 1967 with "Gotta Get Away" as the b-side. The song hit number 5 on the US charts, although it did not fare nearly as well in the UK. Incidentally, The Magoos' "(We Ain't Got) Nothin' Yet" was released as a single in February 1967 by British group The Spectres (later to become The Status Quo). The record did not chart.

"(We Ain't Got) Nothing Yet" is an extraordinary and magical two minutes and ten seconds which, like the Box Tops' "The Letter," is one of those little two-minute blasts of pop which brought the transistor radio to life daring enough to play psychedelia. Psychedelic Lollipop is the real thing, the music inside authentic acid pop. They stretch J.D. Loudermilk's "Tobacco Road" across four and a half Seeds-style minutes, obliterating the Nashville Teens' 1964 hit recording in the process. "Queen of My Nights" may have inspired the Troggs' 1968 hit "Love Is All Around." The melody might be different, but the intro music is identical to what The Troggs gave the world a couple of years after this. Producers Bob Wyld and Art Polhemus do a great job of keeping the intensity up across two sides of this album. James Brown's "I'll Go Crazy" gets splashy garage rock sounds and Mike Esposito's guitar work cannot be denied. Check out the jangle mayhem on "Gotta Get Away."
