Speed Glue & Shinki S/T 2LP set

SPEED, GLUE & SHINKI s/t 2LP

Sniffin & Snortin (parts 1 and 2!), Run & Hide, Bad Woman, Don't Say No, Wanna Take You Home... Those are some of the song titles on this classic women-and-drugs obsessed Japanese psych album.
It stars guitar whiz and massive stoner Shinki Chen (also of Foodbrain and other obscure Japanese psych outfits), bassist Masayoshi Kabe (from Foodbrain too), and singing drummer Joey 'Pepe' Smith -- a Vietnam vet from the Filipino band Juan De La Cruz, whose album "Shake Your Brains" is one of the few that tops this for sheer truly stoned rock.
You'll hear at least one of their tunes on this, the second SG&S album, released as a double LP in 1972.
Speed, Glue & Shinki, as you might imagine from their name, were a weird, messed up, completely wacked heavy psych/blues/prog band. So messed up that this time out, guest musicans wrote (and performed?) most of it. And even when Joey Smith plugs in a Moog synth to do a whole LP side devoted to the Sun, Planets, Life, Moon, and Angels, this never gets pretentious . Speed Glue & Shinki are primal, at least one track hints at the Stooges, some others Zeppelin, while the rest approximates a brain-damaged James Gang.

This 2LP set is still sealed, and comes with a brown card outer sleeve - with track details in Japanese and English,with 2 individual yellow sleeves containing the LP's.

I believe the inner sleeves should have pictures of tigers on them - unable to check as item is sealed.The only other information is a copyright Japan 1972 mark, no label information is visible , unless it is written in the Japanese script.

I do not know if this is the original pressing or the Shadoks reissue released a couple of years ago in very limited quantities.

If you have any questions please email before bidding. The review above was written after listening to a CD reissue and gathering details on the net.
