"FEVER TREE- ANOTHER TIME, ANOTHER PLACE"

 1968 Uni 73040 label

The condition of the "unipak" gatefold cover is EX (see photos), no cut-outs, seam splits or writing.  The condition of the disc is an overall EX.  There is a light scratch on side one track one ("Man Who Paints The Pictures-Part II") but plays through fine without any issues.  The remainder of the album looks nice!

ORIGINAL 1968 first pressing in uni-pack gatefold, this is the 2nd FEVER TREE album, the band settling in and simmering with a cool garage-rockin' fuzzy psych sound, gushing organ and good solid vocals...

The second (and arguably most fully realized) album from Texas psychedelic band Fever Tree, Another Time, Another Place owes less to the sound of roots-based contemporaries like the 13th Floor Elevators, Moving Sidewalks, or the Sir Douglas Quintet and more to heavier West Coast acid rock. One of the most underrated '60s psych bands, Fever Tree comes off like a coincidental midnight meeting of Jim Morrison, Steppenwolf, Jefferson Airplane, Iron Butterfly, and Jimi Hendrix at the tail end of a drug and whiskey binge. Luckily, however, the group transcends its influences by sheer force of attitude. The material here (mostly written by producers Scott Holtzman and Vivian Holtzman) is of generally pretty high quality, wisely avoiding too much of the drippy "ice cream cones and cosmic smiles" type stuff that bogged down the work of psych bands like Ultimate Spinach and Tricycle. Fever Tree was always a real, down and dirty rock band, and this record is no exception. Although in the liner notes the group stops just short of apologizing for including the oft-covered song "Fever," this version actually kicks some serious ass. Other highlights include the bawdy, roadhouse-style rocker "What Time Did You Say It Is in Salt Lake City," "Grand Candy Young Sweet" (a frightening, tuned-down plodder), and the excellent chamber pop tune "Death Is a Dancer." Then, "I've Never Seen an Evergreen," a sullen, hazy drug song that might have fit perfectly on a Roky Erikson album. Also of note is the over seven-minute instrumental "Jokes Are for Sad People," which fulfills the unwritten psychedelic statute requiring one long trippy jam per album, but thankfully does so with a minimum of pointless noodling and a generous helping of compositional flair. Strong album that gets better once you get into the meat of the matter.
