RARE = mighty sought after = Original 1969 first pressing killer heavy FUZZED blues rocker...in thick gatefold on the obscure Poison Ring label....
At the end of the summer of 1967, two popular New Haven-based bands broke up at the prodding of manager/producer Doc Cavalier, who owned Syncron Studios (later Trod Nossel) in Wallingford. Three members from the Shags and three from the Bram Rigg Set joined to form The Pulse (the actual original name was The Pulse of Burritt Bradley).
After a failed single released on ATCO, The Pulse of Burritt Bradley broke up after about six months.
Pulse, a blues-rock outfit emerged with now four members from Bram Rigg Set, one lone survivor of the Shags and a new PULSE dirrection.
In January, 1968, Pulse started rehearsing in earnest to play some live dates and start recording its only album, impact blues psych underground.
SCARCE, wanted 1968 HEAVY blues-psych with melodic injections...a cool sound by the mysterious PULSE made but one delightful , eagerly collected album...
Born out of the ashes of two local bands, The Bram Rigg Set and The Shags, this New Haven (CT) septet were originally known as The Pulse of Burritt Bradley after a name on a headstone, long before Dickie Betts’ famed encounter with Elizabeth Reed! In fact, it was also the name of the creepy, spoken word, suitable-for-Halloween flip side of their 1967 debut 45 on Atco. Originally released the following year on their producer’s tiny Poison Ring label, the album is chock full of bluesy jamming, a la Cream and Blue Cheer (whose 1st LP was also released earlier in ’68), and actually predates the first LP's of future genre heavyweights like Led Zeppelin and Grand Funk Railroad.
Hearing this for the first time, well over 50+ years after the fact, you'll be amazed at how much the pounding, driving rhythm of opener, “Too Much Livin’” foretells an amazingly similar rhythmic thrust of The Doors’ “Roadhouse Blues,” which was still two years down the road. Peter Neri’s searing guitar solo and Jeffrey Potter’s wailing harmonica solo imbue “Another Woman” with a gritty, Canned Heat vibe. Richard Bednarczyk’s boogie-woogie keyboard rolls add a bar room shuffle to the down home, good time funk of “Thanks For Thinking Of Me,” which also predates the sweaty, bluesy snarl of Humble Pie and Mountain. Vocalist Carl Donnell is certainly from the Leslie West school of throat shredding vocal pyrotechnics and it’s his tendency to go off the deep end that’s been known to turn-on a few listeners.
“She’s Killing Me” has a distinct Cream and Hendrix aroma, featuring another of Neri’s tasty solos. “Garden of Love” also predates Led Zep’s penchant for tossing the odd, change of pace, acoustic ballad in to the mix. So fans of their more reflective moments like “What Is and What Should Never Be,” “Thank You,” “Over The Hills and Far Away” or “Boogie With Stu” will really dig this one. There’s even a little pre-Sabbath satanic rock weaving through “Amassilation,” which sounds like a term they invented on the spot!
The band reportedly continued in this vein for a number of years, but unfortunately never achieved the success that many bands playing in this same territory would enjoy, so here’s your opportunity to experience a true, blues rock artifact. A:
