BLUES MAGOOS: Mercury Singles (1966-1968) (CD)

(2016/Sundazed) 16 tracks.
Hailing from NYC, The Blues Magoos took the folk,blues soundtrack of their mid-sixties Greenwich Village contemporaries and forged it into a tough, garage,psych hybrid that attracted fans as quickly as it angered folk club owners, incensed by the band's volume and unhinged stage show! Signed by Mercury Records in 1966, their inaugural single for the label, a reading of John D. Loudermilk's "Tobacco Road," was a churning 4:30 minute(!) plunge into crazed guitar,organ,drum,bass pyrotechnics with vocals careening over the top. The release hailed the arrival of a new and wholly unique voice on the rock scene. It was also a signpost for a new genre. One of the first albums to use "psychedelic" in the title, it arrived right on time for a generation ready to expand their consciousness with the aid of their turntables. The album's next single, band-penned "(We Ain't Got) Nothin' Yet," featured one of the all-time great riffs, an insistent bass run over which keyboards swirled and unison vocals chanted. An absolute smash, "(We Ain't Got) Nothin' Yet" zoomed to #5 on the national pop charts and made the band an exotic household name. In total, The Blues Magoos released three amazing albums and eight incredible singles on Mercury. Longtime fans, Sundazed has now gathered all sixteen A- and B-sides together on The Blues Magoos: Mercury Singles (1966-1968). Featuring the accurate, original mono single mixes from the Mercury masters, these songs have never sounded better!

The Blues Magoos

The Blues Magoos, Straßenkinder aus der Bronx, waren regelmäßig im Café Wha in der MacDougal Street und im Nite Owl Café im Dorf, bevor Merkur sie unterschrieb. Die Magoos - Ralph Scala, Gesang, Orgel; Ron Gilbert, Bass; Geoff Daking, Schlagzeug; Mike Esposito, Leadgitarre; Peppy Thielhelm, Rhythmusgitarre und Gesang - eingekerbt als Hit-Singles, insbesondere '(We Ain't Got) Nothing Yet' - ein Nein. 5 im Jahr 1966 - und'There's A Chance We Can Make It', und hatte zwei gut verkaufte Alben Psychedelic Lollipop (die erste Verwendung des Wortes in einem Album-Titel - komplett mit dem Tag'play at high volume') und Electric Comic Book (1967).

Sie wussten wirklich, wie man einen Hype macht. Das zweite Album enthielt ein kleines Comicbuch voller Angebote wie das'Psyche-de-lite', das dich während des Spiels anmacht, selbst ein'Blues Magoos Konzert in deinem eigenen Haus'. Aber wenn man es nicht auf der Bühne sieht, ist der Aufprall der Vidal Sassoon Frisuren und der von Diana Dew entworfenen Elektroanzüge fehlte. Ihre Musik, ob live oder auf Platte, war weitgehend vergesslich, zügellos und unharmonisch und erreichte einen neuen Tiefpunkt mit den Basic Blues Magoos, die eine stark veränderte Gruppe darstellten, und dem Elektroniksturm auf dem Gulf Coast Blues (ABC, 1970), wonach die Gruppe ihren Sound kurzzeitig beruhigte, bevor sie verschwand.
