SCARCE 1968 ORIGINAL
GARAGE PSYCH CLASSIC
THE BOSTON TEA PARTY
USA - Flick Disc Records - FLS 45,000 - Stereo
Original stereo 1968 first pressing of a longtime sought and collected great garage psych band...THE BOSTON TEA PARTY...
In spite of the name, the BOSTON TEA PARTY were from Burbank, California. Originally formed in 1963, they started out as a surf outfit, but by the mid-'60s had decided to follow popular trends, reinventing themselves as a garage psych band.
Featuring a lineup of brothers Mike (keyboards) and Richard (bass) DePerna, singer Travis Fields, drummer David Novogroski and guitarist Mike Stevens, the group released their only album by the MGM affiliated Flick Disc label in 1968 - the cleverly-titled "The Boston Tea Party". The original material such as "I'm Telling You", "Straighten Up and Fly Right" and "We Have Already Died" was actually pretty cool. Largely penned by Stevens, the results were organ-driven rockers that reflected a distinctive psych edge. Fields proved a surprisingly strong voice, capable of nicely controlling the numbers ("I Found a Way"). Elsewhere the album was worth hearing just for some of the year's inept guitar solos (check out Stevens' performance on "I'm Telling You"). Mike DePerna's stabbing organ should appeal to many (he occasionally sounded as if he were playing a different song from the rest of the band ("Fantasy"). The band survived long enough to undertake a cameo performance in the American International biker flick The Cycle Savages (a couple of their songs were included in the soundtrack), and they were history.
