31 FLAVORS 'Hair' LP (Spain, Out-Sider Records, Catalogue #OSR021) Brand new/unplayed copy of limited year 2014 Out-Sider Records label edition of LEGENDARY 1969 ULTRA-HEAVY FUZZ/DISTORTION GUITAR EXPLOITO-PSYCH BLOWOUT LP by "The 31 Flavors." Originally released in 1969 on the budget/exploit-label Crown.

(NOTE: LIMITED VINYL EDITION!)

'In the late '60s, a bunch of mysterious psychedelic exploitation albums were released by the budget Crown label in the U.S. Issued under different band names (The Firebirds, Underground Electrics, 31 Flavors, etc.), they were recorded by an anonymous group of studio musicians. Hair by 31 Flavors is the counterpart to Light My Fire by The Firebirds. Along with demented raw garage covers of "Hair" and "Aquarius," it contains some of the heaviest, fuzzed-out exploitation sounds ever committed to vinyl. You can hear echoes of Blue Cheer, Hendrix and Sabbath, featuring proto-doom, heavy-psych bombs like "Distortions of Darkness."'

"One of the best psych-ploitation LPs with more fuzzzz than a dozen 1971 private press hardrockers. Opens with amazingly lame title track from "Hair", then a funny inept "Age Of Aquarius" with femme vocals, then a crude basement psych original with far out vocals. The rest of the LP is 100% fuzzploitation instros with studio hacks obviously delighted to run stone free like a stage jam by the Jimi Hendrix Experience. Great raw live feel, wild playing and excellent fuzz riffs. A good one to use as a proxy for the whole genre. The LP contains tracks listed but not present on the Firebirds album, which was probably recorded during the same 2-hour session." - Patrick Lundborg/Acid Archives
