Band/Record: Born On The Road - Easy Rider

Label/Matrix: GER 1969 Europa  E 443 

Condition Record/Sleeve: Mint-/EX+ 

Extra Info: Fantastic Album !! Original German only LP on the Europa label ..wow .. minty dream audio ... top copy !!

~~ Great overlooked album presenting German underground HEAVY PROG bands of late 1969. On the album are "Black Kids" (UK), "The Automatic Blues Inc." , "Petards", "John Deen" and "Electric Food". So far so good, but what really makes it worth having are the five "Electric Food" cuts - three covers and two self-penned. They were a struggling band through the sixties performing under at least a half-dozen different names before getting a final breakthrough as "Lucifer's Friend" just after this release.

The album was released on a German budget label with an agenda similar to UK Saga/Hallmark - doing low-cost recordings of otherwise unsuccessful/undiscovered acts or combos consisting of studio musicians presented as existing bands. Often released as compilations in sync with the most popular genres and fashion of the times. Quality varied due to shifting musical and/or audiophile quality. This is one of the better. Obviously an attempt to cash in on the Easy Rider movie and success of the soundtrack LP issued earlier though the only things in common are the "Born To Be Wild" cover and front sleeve image. (which has become a pretty nice collectible cover art)

Fantastic album, especially the covers get me going. Both "Born To Be Wild" and "Up Around The Bend" are a lot rawer than the originals with distorted guitars and a "WAH WAH" psych garage feeling and "House Of The Rising Sun" closer to Frijid Pink's version than Animals. Good listening - rude and tight with clear and distinct audio.
