...most cats know these lone star longhairs from th'great 'dead man' wax that they released on their own hookah label after th'original deal they had went moody...this platta here is th'gear they recorded for th'earlier deal but never released at th'time...its good late 60's stoner hard rock with th'second side consistin o' th'15minit dead man trk which sound my-tee fine when th'amp is drivin with that #11 goin strong...

Saturday

...th' sound o' street level speed, basement acid'n copious reefer swirl around in this dronin psychedout jam that aint xactly like th'rest o' their output...their minds might be high but they're also on th'ground, space rock as such was a few months off...faves at festivals, free events'n anywhere tripped out heads would gather...a great waxin that caught street riffraff ears immediately, who recognised a peoples bands xisted within th'grooves...
...layabouts who dig th' messed up basement sound to go with primo rockin droned out psych slop will dig this biskit from th' get go...this is heavy krautrock swill, tribal blastin mind soup, kinda like a mash up o' amon duul/deviants/pink fairies with copious amounts o' hash'n speed...drummin 'n riffin with tape collages all swirlin round in an attempt to make sense o' recent german history which was bein rewritten by many selfinterested parties...this is some nice xample o' true underground rockin when most were sellin out to th' 'college progressive' school o' money makin, these cats stayed true to th' cause o' sendin out hep vibrations only to those that will recognise them...
...th'beast is indeed back'n rockin in that patented blue cheer way that all layabouts o' a certain inclination know'n love'n have dug for many a year...unlike a lotta combos that keep on chuggin along/reform periodically these cheer cats know that th'job o'gettin 'outta focus' a serious bizniz'n should only be attempted by solid stoners onna mission...obviously after all this time, over 40years th' playin has gott'n more precise'n refined but th'urgent'n insistent cheer groove that was present on th'first 3 elpees is still in place(unlike those 80's wax that didn't really meet th' required standard demanded from anythang remotely connected to th' cheerian name)...bad trip geetar screech'n seismic thuds creep'n crawl over 'n hours worth o'da-blooz, gospel'n stoner swill which enhances a heavy bong hit to gonesville every time its spun...
...operatin in th'same california sun baked weirdness as merrill fankhauser'n bobby brown this small label double wax offerin from 19seventy will please cats who dig their wig lifters played by capable musos as opposed to degenerate layabouts...inflections o' jazzy singer/songwriter vibes intermixed with plenty acid geetar choogle 'n semi underground sound help push this in th'right direction'n away from th' bland laid back style that was creepin into west coast rock at 'n alarmin rate...not xactly a swirly mind soup bubbler as some unscrupulous bread heads try to make out to keep th'collector price up, but its well cool 'n useful for those green'n lazy daze when a complex but mellow flowin groove is called for...

Friday

...released late 67 after their hit reception at th'windsor jazz fest that summer this isza fine effort that shows they were a club band playin jazzy blooz'n not really down with th'psychodelik gimmix that had enthralled many durin th' summer o' love...good tight playin brought on by th'immense amount o' roadwork they had been doin earlier in th'decade...well worth a few spins'n shows what was happ'nin on th'ol'london towne scene durin th' change from th'short lived tea-shop sike back to a harder blooze groove...

Tuesday

...this freewheelin frisco r&b rock'n soul funkee green machine knocked out this happ'nin horn rock vibed double biskit in late 68...real punchy sound fulla goodly hep jazzbo rockin grooves 'n social hippee lyrix make this a nice trip...turned out to be their finest hour cos they never really captured th' groove again'n th' enthusiasm thats sprawlin out here was never this immediate on later wax...dig this long lost early biskit from these reefer'd beatnix...

Saturday

...heres a reefer'd out r&b combo who upon discoverin th' tripped ballroom scene over in ol'frisco decided it was time to change their recreational inspiration'n get bizzee blastin some heavy acid bloozrock...they managed to score a deal with a major rec.co.'n got some studio time...hookin up with abe'voco'kesh to handle th'controls they lay down a first'n only hep disk o' scorchin psychodelik wig liftin vibrations...stone cold solid effort that sounds real groovy in th'21st century...
