1969 ORIGINAL HARD ROCK CLASSIC
360 Sound Original Columbia
The ILLINOIS SPEED PRESS
USA - Columbia Records - 360 Sound - CS 9792
Nice clean 1969 original in thick gatefold cover of the very first ILLINOIS SPEED PRESS album on the highly collected 360 Sound Columbia label of the sixties...This first (of two) Illinois Speed Press album was a play list favorite on underground radio stations in the early 70's... "Pay The Price" & "PSN When You Come Around" were popular with the classic hard (fuzz) rocker sound and FM stations loved to play them...
Hot shot manager/producer James Guercio discovered the Rovin' Kind at the Chicago Whiskey-A-Go-Go, where they were the house band. He offered them management and production and brought them back to Los Angeles where they were signed to CBS/Columbia Records under their new name, Illinois Speed Press. The change happened in February 1968. They opened for other major recording acts such as Led Zepplin, Chicago & Steppenwolf. Initial members of Illinois Speed Press were the same as the Rovin’ Kind...to best appreciate the Illinois Speed Press play this recording at the highest possible volume. All the sounds on this recording were made by; one 1962 (red) gibson les paul custom double pickup guitar, one 1960 (white) gibson les paul custom triple pickup guitar, one 1961, (white) fender precision bass, all fed through brown fender concert amplifiers, (4-10” speakers) and one standard ludwig drum “dance” kit, 2 crash cymbols, one ride cynbol augmented with 3 timbals...
The songs on their albums ranged from hard rock to more acessible underground radio rock with rural influences and from blues towards folk-rock, but on the electrified hard side...very often with psychedelic references and some really excellent dual fuzz guitars.
