MEGA RARE...private pressing local to TEXAS from 1968..  it's the FIRST PRINT!

Obviously not many copies were produced some 50 or so years ago, having the pre-ZZ T0P roots and better in the fact that it's a top level psychedelic blues TOP RARITY ...

The Very first AMERICAN BLUES album from 1968, and one of the elite garage/fuzz/psych gems of the era...$400 - $500+ value range... the tracks are mesmerizing with psyched-out tones and fuzz guitar injections all throughout...pretty much hand in hand with the Moving Sidewalks Lp from a year later...

American Blues  were the legeneary 1960s Texas-based garage band who played a psychedelic style of blues rock music influenced by the 13th Floor Elevators. They are most famous for including two future members of the ZZ Top trio in their ranks, Dusty Hill and Frank Beard. From 1966 to 1968, they played the Dallas-Fort Worth-Houston circuit and headlined in three clubs all called "The Cellar", in Dallas at clubs such as "The Walrus" on Mockingbird Lane, and in Houston at "Love Street Light Circus Feel Good Machine" on Allen's Landing, as late as 1968. 

One of the better known Dallas bands of this era American Blues were originally known as The Warlocks. Their first album was produced by Scotty McKay and recorded at Robin Hood Brian's studio in Tyler, Texas. Side one is predominantly psychedelic and a 45 from it was issued the following year. Side two is in more of a heavy psych-rock style. Either way, either style, it's a hands down winner for old 60's garage & psych collectors...
