STILL IN FACTORY CELLOPHANE

Original 1968 first pressing of seldom seen (their rarest by far) third and final album by The Cryan' Shames...

Still contains the original printed 360 Sounds Columbia inner sleeve!

By 1968 original Cryan' Shames member James Fairs, left the group, the Cryan' Shames continued to record and perform with a new lineup -- featuring Saturday's Children alumnus Dave Carter on guitar and former Squires/Boston Tea Party member Alan Dawson on drums and recorded their final album, "Synthesis."

This LP pegs the group's interest as drawing from both West Coast rock groups, as well as influences by the British popsike sound like the Beatles, to make a relatively adventurous and interesting pop/psych-rock album. Among the highlights on Synthesis are two standout tracks that immediately grab the listener: "First Train to California", with nice sunshine pop grooves drawing from Brian Wilson peak Beach Boys. The other is "Greenberg, Glickstein, David Smith and Jones", a full blown psychedelic rock song, with instruments turned up, phased production, and everything. You've got to give the Cryan' Shames credit for guiding their sound from the garage standard fare of the mid-sixties to a more sophisticated style of the '68 "now sound" ... i.e., vocalist Issac Guillory may have discovered drugs, because his two pop epics ("A Master's Fall" and "Symphony of the Wind") close out both sides of the album. They sound like the band was emulating the trippier side of the Moody Blues' 'Threshold Of A Dream' approach. The chorus of his regular psych-pop song "The Painter" is also close to a parody: "I'm the funny painter man (he's the funny painter man)." A couple of the other tracks are also quite catchy once repeat listens take hold ("Baltimore Oriole" and "Sweet Girl of Mine").
