THE GREEN SHAG! "GOOD RECORDS FOR GOOD PEOPLE!"
ZOO / ZOO
1970 MERCURY USA 1st PRESS
••••• FUNKY PROG/PSYCH LIGHT YEARS AHEAD OF THEIR TIME. One of the finest examples of blending elements of funk horn arrangements with fuzzed guitars & funky organ, backed by thundering snaking bass lines & tripped-out breakbeat worthy drums. Crazy good "Rhythm and Boss" and "If You Lose Your Woman" plus the MONSTROUS MESMERIZING breakbeat insanity of the over 7+ minute jammer "Mammouth" will make your jaw drop that it was released in '70. CRUCIAL GROOVE.
