KRLA KING OF THE WHEELS
\ USA - MUSTANG RECORDS = M-900 (MONO)
CLEAN
1965 classic Garage rocker -- the first, and by far, hardest to find of two albums released by the cool teen scene stars known as the Bobby Fuller Four...
RARE and sought after 1965 FIRST PRINTING with minty clean vinyl with BOLD MONAURAL production punch that is so suitable for the sound of the sixties... ... SO hard to find in CLEAN condition like this!!!
The Bobby Fuller Four were garage rockers with a desireable raw melodic sound yet had enough polish to cover some of the songs of the day and make them interesting. KRLA KING OF THE WHEELS has always been a difficult album to find. Released just before their national breakout hit "I Fought The Law" ...Bobby Fullers death at a young age makes this a rare glimpse into a group that showed promise.
Producer Bob Keane and disc jockeys from (hip 60's) KRLA radio station in Los Angeles helped conceive the idea for this album. The KRLA Top Eliminator was a customized dragster made to help promote KRLA, and the Bobby Fuller Four provide this eleven song album. The title track is a (stronger than the original) reworking of "King Of The Beach," and an earlier record from the band's days in El Paso, Texas. There are three other car songs, including a killer version of Buddy Holly's "Love's Made A Fool Of You." and much of the album is rendered in Fuller's trademark Tex-Mex Garage Meets the British Invasion styles of the mid sixties.
KRLA KING OF THE WHEELS remains a much sought after rarity after 48 years, and rightly so...
