YAYS & NAYS 's/t' LP (Portugal, Groovie, Catalogue #GROO 0020LP) Brand new/unplayed copy of limited year 2009 Groovie label LP edition of mega-rare and highly sought after 1968 US private press LP of groovy "Men vs. Women" concept driven garagey folkrock tunes (originally released in 1968 on the NEO label.)
'Monster rare USA private pressing from 1968, rated with 6 stars in the Hans Pokora 3001 book. The Yays & Nays were a groovy, hip group comprised of three guys and three girls. This is a truly unique sounding album, full of creative songwriting and vocal arrangements and a style that defies any categorization. There's some fab garage folk-rock on it (the opening track 'Gotta Keep Travelling' is really astounding!), and also some tracks in a bizarre crooner-lounge Incredibly Strange Music vein. Reissued for the first time, in collaboration with band members, and with original artwork.'
'An extraordinary excercise in turned-on 1960s cool from an odd band with 3 guys and 3 gals, performing a tongue-in-cheek Men vs Women thematic dual on most of the 12 tracks. Obviously inspired by the Lee & Nancy and Sonny & Cher duets, with a tough garage folkrock edge added. The Yays & Nays bend their gents vs ladies concept at precisely the right places to create a unique, clever and funny experience. The women come out on top, at least the way I heard it. The gals sing ensemble, while the guys (or the main guy) is typically solo and often moves into a "manly" Elvis/Lee H crooning that's just right for the trip. Excellent, varied songwriting. Hard to describe accurately, and it needs to be heard by any 1960s fan. Cool cover shows the band clad in vintage gear in a swamp, probably some sort of subliminal message.' - Patrick Lundborg/Acid Archives
