Interest in this has surged recently and quite rightly too, as this is one of the best acid-punk LPs ever. Clearly inspired by "Electric Comicbook"-era Blues Magoos, these Long Island kids definitely had a problem with both drugs and their attitude! Their originals are excellent Vox organ/fuzz teen garage psych and the covers pretty demented as well. The cough syrup highschool play vibe of "Deaf, Dumb & Blind" must be heard to be believed. Not a perfect album, but the highs are higher than on almost any other LP of this kind. Possibly the best on the label, at least if you prefer the 60s teen-garage approach over hippie longhairs. A Canadian pressing exists. [PL]

 

***

 

Easily one of the best on the label with lots of classy psychpunk originals and a truly unique vibe all through it. These guys must've been left pretty much on their own in the studio, probably accompanied by large amounts of weed and cheap beer! You can almost hear the degeneration taking place, from the almost straight punky performance of "Riddles & Fairytales" to the utterly demented "Satisfaction". They even manage to re-write "Gloria" into "(She Always Gives Me) Pleasure" and give it way dirtyer lyrics. The whole album must be heard to be believed - a truly unique LP, especially for a major label! One of the few genuine US garage/acid punk LP's from the 60's no doubt. The pre-LP 45 ("Enough" / "Half The Time" on United Artists) is also an essential killer. [MM]

·       CONDITION:

 

·       THE RECORD

 

 (IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

 

(a)          WE GRADE THE VINYL  AS  NEAR MINT. Some VERY LIGHT AND SUPERFICIAL abrasions – mostly sleeve scuffs -  are (barely) visible, but are probably inaudible,  and do not affect visual integrity or beauty of the vinyl. The original luster is very much intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

 

(b)          The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

 

(c)           Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

 

 

·                               THE COVER

 

THE COVER IS NICE --- ABOUT VERY GOOD++ (VG++).

 

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

 

-        Cover has some light ring wear (nothing significant); On the scale from 1 to 10 (1 being the least, and  10 being the most severe), we assess the severity of ring wear as 3

 

-        Back cover has circular tarnish (grayish, dust-covered sections, which closely follow the contour of the record),  probably caused by friction or by rubbing against other covers during the storage. The tarnish is similar in appearance to a common ring wear, but, UNLIKE ring wear, these grayish areas may be possible to clean up with a minor effort and with a right cleansing solution.

 

-        Cover shows some light yellowing on back side, apparently from aging  (nothing significant).

 

-        Cover has a few tiny wrinkles along the spine

 

-        Cover has a small, rectangular, sticker residue (small yellowish discoloration from the removed price sticker) (ONE ON EACH SIDE)

 

-        Visible shelf wear noted on the seams

 

-        Cover has some fraying/wear along the upper seam

 

-        Cover has three corners slightly worn / dinged (nothing significant)

 

-        Back cover has a few yellowish dust speckles scattered here and there (these tiny spots are not overly obtrusive or distracting)

 

-        Cover has a tiny, barely visible cutout hole in one of the corners (so tiny, you might not actually notice it: it is in the top left corner)

 

 

NO OTHER VISIBLE FLAWS OR IMPERFECTIONS ON THE  COVER
