-
For for the most part the attitude and social commentary are MC5 reflected - "Kick Out The Jams" heavy rock "psychedelia."
-
The best tracks are up and down both sides , including "Catfish," with bluesy psychedelic guitar work, and two solid social
commentary songs, "Get A Gun" and "Let’s Keep The Children On The Streets," a song about the riots in the sixties…
-------------------------------------------
TOUCH with their hard core anti- establishment attitude rivaled the MC5 in support of a radical change opposition of the (then) Vietnam war and timeless standard of standardness USA government 'b.s.'
- "Touch" created a more powerful fusion of psychedelic blues, in which quickly picked up support slots for acts such as Steppenwolf, Cream and Iron Butterfly, Touch also played at free festivals with Big Brother & The Holding Co. and Hourglass in 1968.
- Shortly after their album was recorded, their radical-minded female singer Paulette headed West to join a commune, and drummer Ovid quit, exhausted in establishment opposition with the bands direction.
- With great sorrow and admiration, the “Touch” LP could be called a “one album wonder”, although they were a sign of the times in 1969 along with their contemporaries , MC5, inspired by John Sinclair.
- TOUCH basically emerged from the cradle of blues hard-rock in of all places,'60s St. Louis.
- Touch began improving their skills by playing the hits brought-on by the British invasion, and finally drifted towards innovative acid heavy psych rock (or psychedelic, if you prefer).
- The band served as an opening act for Steppenwolf (whose social awareness attitude they shared - “Let’s Keep the Children On The Streets”, “Motor’s City Burning”, “Get a gun” …) with
- Cream & Iron Butterfly and played with Big Brother & The Holding Company and others alike as well. The creativity and talent of the group is amazing: Paulette Butts with more of a warm and touching voice than Grace Slick of Jefferson Airplane, “Light My Fire” the famous DOORS track is an unusual re-arrangement of interest, “Lady Of the Universe” is a perfect sample of baroque-rock (more inspiring than melancholic “Yesterday”) and with unison vocal harmonies immortalized later by Uriah Heep added strength to the bands overall sound.
- By the way - David Surcamp (Pavlov’s Dog) appears in full glory with his own song (“Rainbow”) rivaling anything on the “Pampered Menial” material of fame.
-
Ray Schulte, the founder & driving force of the band, considered this album as a farewell to the 60s, in the hopeful time of 'Peace and Brotherhood' - well, really it is certainly that, as well as complimenting the Rollin' Stones appearance at the unincorporated community of "Altamont" California - end of the '60s hipsters dream in change with the otherwise up-tight world.
- CONDITION:
- The cover: rated: "EX" (excellent) = consider a top-copy with only signs of very light previous use, keeper-copy level.
- This is a triple-thick fragile matte material gategold cover ... there are no delete marks, no split seams, no bends, and no writing ...
- The vinyl: Rated: near M- a beauty and plays fantastic! so therefore as well, both MAINLINE private pressed labels are perfect!
- ~ TOUCH ~
- "Street Suite"
A cool addition to anyone's music library!
