1967 UNIQUE GIRL GROUP BAROQUE MEDIEVAL PSYCH
THE CAKE
\ USA - DECCA RECORDS - DL 74827
Original 1967 first pressing vinyl on the highly collected DECCA RECORDS label of the sixties. The CAKE were an intersting girl group trio...this is their first and arguably best of two L's relreased in 1967 and 1968...
The original printed Decca inner sleeve is included...
Not bound by the chains of any Phil Spectors, The Cake are one of the lucky ones...a girl group allowed to freely explore all of their artistic ambitions. Not to say their sound isn't full and vibrant, because it is. It's hard to see any of these ladies being restrained by a man. They were the original punks of girl group poprock.
The Cake's sound is peppered with baroque, psychedelic and medieval influences never before seen by any 60s girl group of the 60's era. With a unique sound, "Medieval Love" is a gorgeous tune, and luckily, the girls are able to harmonize perfectly in the studio with fabulous results. The kind of stuff teenagers would have danced to back then. "Fire Fly" and "Rainbow Wood" continue in this medieval vein, creating a Holy Trilogy of femme baroque goodness. As for the more typical "girl group"-type pop songs, you have "Baby That's Me", which is decent enough. Their sound on this album is extremely rich, and they seem to do quite well in recreating the Phil Spector sound and although they could blend in with the other '60s girl groups in places, overall you can tell they were very unique. Even their takes on "Stand By Me", and the album closer "What'd I Say" actually do pay off.
Baby That's Me 2:40 World of Dreams 2:15 You Can Have Him 2:50 Medieval Love 2:43 Fire Fly 2:05 Rainbow Wood 2:15 B: I Know 2:19 Mockingbird 2:25 Ooh Poo Pah Doo 3:57 Stand By Me 2:33 What'd I Say 4:03
