1968 ORIGINAL 1st album by TEXAS Garage/Psych:
The FEVER TREE
UNI - 73024 - stereo ("suitable for mono")
1968 original, the very first FEVER TREE ...first pressing vinyl on the old collected UNI label of the sixties...featuring probably the biggest hit Fever Tree ever had, "San Francisco Girls" ...
An interesting, late-'60s psychedelic group, Houston's Fever Tree is most famous for their single "San Francisco Girls," with its dramatic melody, utopian lyrics, and searing fuzz guitar. Most of their best material produced some fairly distinctive tunes with more of a classical/Baroque influence that was backed by strong arrangements than were usually found in psychedelic groups. Their pretty, wistful ballads (enhanced on their first album by arranger David Angel, who had also worked on Love's classic Forever Changes) endure better than their dirge-like fuzz grinders, which epitomize some of the more generic aspects of heavy psychedelia.
Fever Tree "pretty much had the basic structure of the songs figured out when we went into the studio, but most of the arrangements bloomed in the studio," multi instrumentalist Rob Landes said. "For instance, the beginning of the opening track, you hear an old pump organ play the opening of Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor. When we recorded that piece, somebody looked over and saw this old pump organ sitting in the corner of the studio. I went over and began playing the Bach on it and Scott (Holtzman) said what a great way to begin the opening. Somebody literally ran around the studio clattering the castanets to get a stereo effect with the several microphones that were set around the studio. If you listen closely, you can hear the squeak of the old bellows as I pumped the organ. So many of the ideas just happened as we were in the studio. I still love to listen to the rain with the occasional car driving by, and the rolling thunder that is present in Come With Me (The Rainsong). Take note as you listen to it, and you will experience how it actually happened that night when we were recording my vocal track — no manipulation of any sort — it is exactly how it happened at that moment. In retrospect for all the elements to align themselves in such a way — it truly seems surreal" ... "We absolutely loved this first album. It was probably way beyond our hopes and expectations by the time we finished it."
