Description

What you are viewing is a stunning FACTORY SEALED copy of THE NEWS: HOT OFF THE PRESS.  This is a classic rock record on ON RECORDS, USA pressing.  It's like shopping in a time warp!  If you need a copy of this, this is the one. First pressing. Private pressing of this rare psych record. STILL SEALED!!!

Kicking off with a psych-flavored spliced radio parody performed by some of the band members, Hot Off The Press gets right into its first sweet spot with “Loser,” showcasing Mark London’s expert and refreshingly twang-free steel. Throughout the record’s nine songs he has no trouble fitting the instrument in with a pop/rock sound, and essentially designs the rare flavor of this record with soaring, jazzy licks. There are a couple pretty tough rockers, and I must agree with Llama where he labels “One Night Stand” a “so-so Creedence ripoff.”  But lighter fare like “Ooo La La” and “Misty Day” (one of the band’s first songs) groove with the sunny sound of Montage. I love the jabber at the end of optimistic bopper “Easy Street:” “…somebody’s way off key…I was doing a 7th,” which adds just the right amount of silliness to this laid-back affair. “Farmer’s Daughter” gets bonus points for the album’s second Beach Boys reference and “New York City” ends the original lineup with an 8-minute jam that finally belies News’ sixties psych disguise.

Offered directly from the vaults of Void Records owner, Mr Brian Hulitt. A well known and respected psychedelic label owner and collector.
