ADVANCED RELEASE PROMOTIONAL
MINTY = CRISP & CLEAN TWO LP RECORDS !!!
Thick gatefold, Original 1972 pressing hooks together both exciting THEM albums, the thrilling 1965 - 1966 complete sets delivering a garage punk snarl that shook the British Invasion!
The THICK LP set includes a very interesting group history liner notes written by the legendary Lester Bangs who gets right down to the core of the remarkable THEM featuring Van Morrison
LP #1: 1965 THEM ....the meaty garage beat & punk grinder "THEM" led by the snarl snotty vocals of young Van Morrison in his very first appearance on record. The Lp is lean, tough and mean with a driving back beat captivating full-on rave-ups! The big hit GLORIA was massive popular in that near all fledging garage bands in America covered the tune, even though none could ever equal the impact of THEM's version ...even the Shadows Of Knight who rode the tune to a top radio 40 hit was decidedly weaker ...Them's version more explicit lyrically causing radio stations to shy away...and thatr's not all, there's a bumch of classic ravers here, including "Mystic Eyes", "One Two Brown Eyes", "Here Comes The Night" and a slew more alike...
Not strictly just a British rock group, but packaged as part of the British Invasion, Them forged their hard-nosed R&B sound in Belfast, Ireland, moving to England in 1964 after landing a deal with Decca Records. The band's simmering sound was dominated by boiling organ riffs, lean guitars, and the tough vocals of lead singer Van Morrison, whose recordings with Them rank among the very best performances of the British Invasion.
In England the album's called Angry Young Them, isn't it? Well, that's exactly what it sounds like. A garage gem.

LP # 2 : 1966 "THEM" AGAIN
The group's second and, for all intents and purposes, last full album was recorded while Them was in a state of imminent collapse. To this day, nobody knows who played on the album, other than Van Morrison and bassist Alan Henderson, though it is probable that Jimmy Page was seldom very far away when Them was recording as Page, then a top studio session man, injects his guitar all over their first album. The 12 songs here are in the same vein as the first LP. The material was cut under siege conditions, with a constantly shifting lineup and a grueling tour schedule; essentially, there was no "group" to provide focus to the sound, only Morrison's voice, so the material bounces from a surprisingly restrained "I Put a Spell on You" to the garage-punkoid "I Can Only Give You Everything." Folk-rock rears its head not only on the moody cover of Dylan's "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" but also the Morrison-authored "My Lonely Sad Eyes," but the main thrust is soul, which Morrison oozes everywhere -- his is a voice that could easily have knocked Mick Jagger or Eric Burdon off their respective perches!
