Beautiful copy of this very hard to find garage rock LP by The Kitchen Cinq out of Amarillo, Texas. One of the only garage band rock & roll albums out of the Panhandle of Texas in the 1960s. I never saw this LP available as a stock copy in record shops back in the day. I encountered it only in the bargain bins of discount department stores. I bought this at Woolworth's in San Antonio in 1969. Had it ever since.
One interesting factoid of trivia is that The Kitchen Cinq's LP was produced by Lee Hazzlewood's love interest at the time, Suzi Jane Hokum. Suzi Jane also produced The International Submarine Band's "Safe At Home" LP (also on L.H.I.). That album was GRAM PARSON's first national exposure.
From DISCOGS: "Garage rock gem produced by Lee Hazelwood. Generally rare for sure but more importantly great fuzzed out garage rock + folk punk album! This album is one of the rare examples where some fuzz is heavily used on pop-rock tracks, in a similar vein and mood as THEM's 'Happy Tiger' label LP's!"
And from the fine ALLMUSIC web site: " The Kitchen Cinq were a folk beat garage band from Amarillo, TX, who were heavily influenced by the British Invasion bands (the Dave Clark Five in particular) and West Coast folk-rock (Beau Brummels, etc.). In 1967, the Kitchen Cinq -- Mark Creamer (guitar/vocals), Dale Gardner (bass/vocals), Jim Parker (guitar/vocals), Dallas Smith (guitar), and Johnny Stark (drums) -- issued a total of five impressive singles and one album, “Everything but the Kitchen Cinq”, which collected these tracks and added a few additional numbers, including covers of Neil Diamond's "Solitary Man" and Buffy Sainte-Marie's "Codeine." The album and singles were recorded under the supervision of songwriter/arranger/producer Lee Hazlewood. The band's jangly version of the Beau Brummels' "Still in Love with You Baby" was a regional hit in many U.S. cities. The band released a couple of singles on Decca during 1968, before Parker and Stark joined up with a U.S. touring version of Them. The remainder of the Kitchen Cinq re-formed as Armageddon, issuing an LP on underground label Amos in 1969."
