RAREST BOX TOPS ~ 1968 FIRST PRESSING!
UNCOMMON CLEAN COLLECTIBLE!

THE BOX TOPS

NON STOP

\ USA - BELL Records 6023

Hard to find, especially THIS clean...minty ~ Original 1968 first pressing vinyl in old style unipak gatefold cover...pre-Big Star Alex Chilton's hit sixties (garage) band that stunned the world in '67 with their timeless groover "The Letter"...

Well, as most of you know, we lost Alex Chilton recently so thought it befitting to lay one of thier lp`s on! ...And this one is pretty good ! Probably the hardest BOX TOPS Lp to find as well!

The Box Tops -- or more precisely Alex Chilton and producer Dan Penn -- were treading water on the third album to be churned out under the group's name in less than a year. The usual garagey blue-eyed soul rock that thrust them into fame dominates this program, without anything on the order of "Cry Like a Baby" or "The Letter," although with "I Met Her in Church," was probably trying for something on that level. Sometimes the moods are a bit on the bluesy side ("Choo Choo Train," "Rock Me Baby"), at others laid back ("Rollin' in My Sleep"). For the first time Chilton had the opportunity to write an LP track, and with "I Can Dig It," he brought out his most gravelly voice for a belter. That's nothing compared with "Yesterday Where's My Mind," in which he sounds like he's trying to out-gravel the most sandpaper-voiced white singer of the era, Tim Rose; in fact, the track bears more than a passing similarity to "Morning Dew," one of the songs Rose interpreted on his debut album. "Sandman," a luscious ballad by the composer of "The Letter," is the most interesting little-known cut. Overall, though, this, like all of the Box Tops' albums, is an ubteresting artifact from the sixties rock era...also for one reason or another, their most least seen album, getting a clean copy is something of a chore/hunt....
