ORIGINAL 1968 FIRST PRESS
CALIFORNIA PSYCHEDELIC GARAGE
RESEARCH 1-6-12
"In Research"
\ USA - FLICK CITY - FC 5001 (MONO & STEREO compatible)
Original 1968 first pressing...very hard to find & interesting California psychedelic album...as you read below, these cats only made this one longplayer and were lucky to have made it at all
Welcome to the world of Research 1 6 12. This ellusive record has long been a staple of psychedelia collector want lists and for good reason. At its best, Research 1 6 12's "In Research" is moody psych cut with Them like guitar fuzz and psyched-acid effects. RESEARCH 1-6-12- feature's the great "Lookin' in the Toaster" basically a song about a guy who is clearly on some serious drugs based off of the things he seems to see in his toaster. According to Rabbi Morrie Yess, who played guitar in the band, Research 1 6 12 formed as the result of a gig in an Oxnard, California bowling alley. Somehow they made their way to Flick City, the record label of David Rollnick, who clawed his way into the music biz by managing the Cleftones. They recorded this one album which "aired on 75 FM stations across America" and promptly broke up! Rabbi Yess further remembers, “I recall one gig in Lancaster, CA where we did one set and the manager told us to go home, he preferred the juke box…(great for one’s self esteem.”) But thankfully, they did record and it’s material that holds up pretty nicely in comparison to other underground groups from that period of time. “Can You Baby” is just all kinds of groovy. With all the rhythm hanging out in the left channel, the drums are so fantastic that we’d wager the drummer is a sessions player of note. The song just has 60s swagger for days. “Highway Song” is a post Summer of Love cautionary tale of a Hippie down on his luck that’s as good as anything we’ve heard from this period of time, especially lyrically: If you see me on the highway, please don’t pass me by,I’m only trying to get back home, looking for that ride,
My clothes are a little dirty and my hair might look too long,
But please don’t judge me by my looks for I promise you no wrong I been up to San Francisco, lost everything I own,
Now all I ask is just for a ride, no money, food or home My head is feeling heavy and my legs are feeling numb,
My arm is almost breaking from holding out my thumb,
Trucks and cars keep coming by, nobody seems to care,
The heat on this old highway’s almost more than I can bear, But I hope I catch a ride by dark, caus emy shirt is pretty thin,
I sold my coat for an upper and I gave that to a friend So if you see me on the highway and you need some company,
I’m only trying to get back home to be what I used to be It’s really a shame this song didn’t end up in Easy Rider or a similar BIKER film, it’s really just classic. When you listen to all the other tracks on the album, it almost seems like this is a totally different group. Listening to the album from start to finish might also give you that impression since they shift into very different genres almot from song to song. But the idiosyncrasies of the lyrics connect to other songs, even if the subject matter and the sounds are very different. “Juicy” for example has some of “Can You Baby”‘s swagger, combined with some truly ribald lyrics, including “Not because you come so loud, but just because you’re juicy.” We could easily have easily chosen 2 or 3 other highlight songs, still not including “Toaster,” and this album would have been just as satisfying.
