1968 FIRST ALBUM WITH GARAGE ROCKIN' FUZZ GUITAR!
TOP COPY!
SOUTHWIND
...USA - VENTURE RECORDS - VTS 4002
TOP COPY = MINT! One of the *best* we'ved EVER seen...
1968 first pressing on the obscure Venture Records label and arguably the *best* album by SOUTHWIND who made at least 3 other albums...
The first Southwind album has some surprise cuts ~ highlighted by the nasty edged "I'm Movin' On" (with girl put down lyrics and cool fuzz guitar all over the place) and the similar "Got To Get Myself Together" with burnin' fuzz leads...not to forget "Your're Gonna Blow My Mind" with more girl troubles and nice use of fuzz guitar injections...
As well, there a varied mix of poprock, sixties garage rock and even rural edges, noted by lead off track "You Been On My Mind" being similar to the first Graham Parson's led Flying Burrito Brothers ...
1968 era Southwind comprised singer/guitarist John Martin, singer/bassist Jim Pulte, organist Phil Hope and drummer Eric Dalton. Originally formed at the University of Oklahoma as a rockabilly combo called the Disciples, in 1967 the group relocated to Los Angeles at the suggestion of musician friend Fontaine Brown, adopting the more contemporary moniker Southwind and significantly expanding their sound to incorporate elements of British Invasion-inspired poprock, psychedelic, garage and rural rock.
Signing to the tiny Venture label, in 1968 Southwind issued this self-titled debut; Brown soon replaced Hope as a fulltime member of the band, with a move to Blue Thumb preceding their 1970 follow-up "Ready to Ride", in part recorded live at the Fillmore West. 1971’s "What a Strange Place to Land", meanwhile, spotlighted a more pronounced blues influence than past efforts. But it was Southwind's first album that was the most interesting with the cool tracks involved...
