MEGA RARE 1965 PRIVATE PRESS GARAGE LP!
THE HALF TRIBE
Only Startin'
USA - PRIVATE - FW-1
Mega rare -- thee original limited PRIVATE PRESS from 1965 by GARAGE band 'Half Tribe of Manasseh' or just 'The Half Tribe' left just one gloriously rare vinyl artifact - (no 45s traced) ... a year later these Reading Pennslyvania legends morphed into THE OTHER HALF who issued the equally rare Lp on the private 7/2 label...
The Half Tribe (Of Mannasseh) were a teen-scene garage garage band from Reading Pennsylvania. They played up and down the eastern seaboard and were very popular in their day. Their music was a raw and primitive combination of reverb guitar led surf rock and early garage...imagine if you will a combination of the TRASHMEN meets the KINGSMEN and you get the HALF TRIBE. Their lead guitarist was J. M. Garroutte. He was backed by Dick "Zack" Zacker on rhythm, John "Hawk" Hawkins on bass, and Dick "Cran" Sammis on drums. Their vocalist was Nick Hilton.
The Half Tribe issued but one, now legendary, self financed and promoted album that they sold only at their shows ...It's a highly rated spirited affair that includes inspired takes, example in the standard sixties rocker "Money," and their cheesy dirge-cha-cha "Death Of An Angel," plus cool takes on the Rolling Stones' "Empty Heart," "Summertime," and the frat-rave-up standard "Wine Wine Wine." Of the twelve tracks here, four are surf jammers in the style of the Trashmen, and they deliver the surf cuts with a more rhythmic drive than the originals.
"Malegueña" is note-for-note the Trashmen's arrangement and lends itself to surf. This arrangement is a quintessential landlocked reverb guitar led showcase. Even if the performance is more damped than the Trashmen, the dry reverby rhythm guitar out front adds a unique dimension, but otherwise, it's a sound alike. "Baja" is a tame but infectious cover of the Astronauts' arrangement. The flexibility of this tune speaks to the quality of Lee Hazelwood's writing back then. As with "Malegueña," the dry tremelo rhythm guitar out front adds a unique dimension. Surf Battle" is odd to hear it done with a more damped finesse, and less drive. The Lively Ones original is such a powerhouse, where as this is more rhythmic and softly chunky. Very nice arrangement. "San Jose" is an interpretation of the Freddie King tune based on the Lively Ones' version. The Half Tribe work the tune from a rhythm perspective, giving it a fresh feel.
After a couple years of touring the North East, the Half Tribe called it quits, members regrouping and forming the legendary garage-punk outfit, the OTHER HALF, which had nothing to do with the Northern California 'Other Half' that contained Randy Holden...
