TOP COPY / RARE
Whew...here, a limited edition in thick jacket of a scarce one...ORIGINAL pressing by the legendary TEXAS crew JOSEFUS, one of the deadliest heavy garage psych bands alive...
The awesome 1969 previously unreleased RAW master recordings of the DEAD MAN album ...completely different song mixes and takes...the whole thing burns with an intense fire...while the original album on Hookah Records was great enought, low and behold, these rough & raw recordings -- the advance demos -- were a display of power to be experienced...
well, la-de-dah...The cult legend surrounding obscure Texan hard rockers Josefus was established almost entirely by their 1970 album, "Dead Man"; a self-released rough gem of psychedelic hard rock originally printed in such limited quantities, that even avid collectors were largely unaware that the group had in fact recorded an earlier, never released version of it tentatively entitled Get Off My Case. Taking place at the same Phoenix Arizona studios, just four months earlier, on December 17th and 18th, 1969, at a modest cost of $1,500, the Get Off My Case sessions yielded seven tracks, four of which would eventually find their way, re-recorded, onto the Dead Man L.P. None of these — "Crazy Man," "Country Boy," "Situation," and even the epic jam "Dead Man" — differed much from their revised, second attempts in terms of structure, boasting looser executions and rougher production standards, which may actually prove even more appealing to low-fidelity-loving crate-diggers. Among the three cuts left out of the return sessions, both the rambling, unfocused "Get Off My Case," and the instrumentally inspired, but lyrically fragmented "A Social Song," were, in retrospect, understandable casualties. But the more elaborate, well-constructed "Feelin' Good" showed great promise in its sunny So-Cal psych intro and subsequent sub-Sabbath riffs, which could have easily been fine tuned for a second attempt, had the band chosen to reprise it. In sum, these tracks afford an interesting survey of Josefus's earliest material that fuzz-rockers, garage-hounds and hardrock diehards might truly appreciate. As for the history that surrounded it: after the "Get Off My Case" sessions wrapped, band manager Jim Musil took its tapes to L.A. and, still insisting on touting the band by the more provocative name, "Come", instead of their preferred Josefus, proceeded to shop them to record companies, all to no avail. By March, he received a letter from the group requesting that their relationship be severed, as Josefus was already re-recording the album for its eventual release as "Dead Man", leaving "Get Off My Case" to vanish into oblivion, until being resurrected in this limited edition from some 15 years ago.
