SHOCK! 's/t' LP (Spain, Guerssen Records, Catalogue #GUESS105) Brand new/unplayed copy of limited year 2012 Guerssen Records label edition of previously unreleased album (recorded in 1970) by Spanish acid-fuzz-garage-psych band SHOCK!
(NOTE: LIMITED VINYL EDITION!)
'Guerssen Records present what is for them the major discovery in the Spanish psych-prog collector scene: a previously-unreleased album from 1970 by this obscure Spanish garage-psych band. Until now, Shock! were a total mystery. They only released one 45 at the time (the killer acid-fuzz punker "No se puede ser Superman") and nothing was known about the band until the label tracked them down. We discovered that prior to their 45 release, they recorded a whole album which was never released. Shock's music is underground garage-psychedelia with crude acid-fuzz guitar, effects, and English vocals: think of Agua de Regaliz, early Pan & Regaliz, Cerebrum or even obscure Brazilian bands such as Tobruk, but with a more primitive sound. The album features 10 songs, including the original versions of the two tracks later re-recorded for their only 45: No se puede ser Superman (titled here "I'm Being Mad," it's a different and superior English-sung version) and "I Want to Laugh" (a longer version than the one included on the 45). Remastered from the original 2-track tape. includes an insert with detailed liner notes in English/Spanish.'
Tracks on this LP are as follows:
A1I Want To Laugh A2What's Your Name A3Mister Harris A4I Am Blind A5Every Sunday B1Oh Baby Now I Love You B2Come Here To Dance B3I'm Getting Free B4There Is A Woman B5I'm Being Mad
