Description
JELLY BEAN BANDITS 's/t' LP (Liechtenstein, Tapestry Records, Catalogue #TPT 247) Brand new/unplayed copy of limited Tapestry Records label LP edition (edition of 500 copies) of rare US 1967 Mainstream label album by The Jelly Bean Bandits.
'Although poised on the threshold of strardom in the late 60's armed with a multi-album record contract, a growing fan base, and a release that leaped to #1 in Boston, in Louisianna, and in Florida, The Jelly Bean Bandits fully expected to follow in the successful footsteps of their fellow 'labelmates', Big Brother & The Holding Company and The Amboy Dukes. Instead they managed to record only this one gem, a freakbeat cult classic distinguished by Jack Dougherty's emotive guitar. Recorded in one 12-hour rush in 1967 (and 3/4 of it written the six days previous to the session) the album is a psych-punk collector's classic.'
'Teen dorks' (just look at them on the cover) album is about half good fuzz-psych and half Young Rascals type Eastcoast teen-beat, all over one of the more enjoyable Mainstreams. Given another 6 months they probably could have made a really good LP, but such quality control was not part of the Mainstream agenda. The priceless 'heavy' glue-sniffer epic about a "Caterpillar's eye" must be heard to be believed, and there's good fuzz drive on "Generation". Fun and dumb, worth checking out.' - Acid Archives
