Spann
" Treat It Right "
* Still Sealed *
Blues Light Records CCl 33-135, 1979 Private pressing (U.S. ) Stereo
** An stunningly superb SEALED copy of this impossibly rare, privately released gem **
This obscure Montreal stoner blues-rock-psych power trio was formed by Ray Jalbert (guitar,vocals, all compositions), Paul Henry (bass) and drummer Al Paterson in Montreal's East End in the mid 70's..
The trio were busy recording in 1979.....they put down the tracks for "Rough Cuts", and this, their follow-up LP" Treat It Right" only a few months later.....both privately released on the tiny American Blues Light ticket. In July of the same year, they headed off to Memphis where they recorded their third (and last), "Let The Hell Hang" at Sam Phillips' legendary studio.
The band's name is an obvious homage to Otis Spann, which makes it quite clear what we find on these three albums.......BLUES ! .......a whole lot of low-down blues that cross between down-to-the-bone rough-throated early ZZ Top & Stones, some absolutely killer slide, and tough heavy raw blues-rock à la fellow-Canadians McKenna Mendelson Mainline, with dabbles of Blue Cheer power-trio psychedelics here and there.
..... Wow ! Not a bad track anywhere ......
Quebec was just coming off it's golden age of Prog in the late 70's, and clearly it was not a hot bed for the blues at the time. Spann was essentially playing the bar-circuit (mostly in East-End Montreal), they had no record distribution contract, they had self-financed their recordings and releases, and unsurprisingly their first 2 LP's barely sold in the hundreds (their last album saw a limited-run pressing of only 500 LPs). Needless to say, all 3 albums (particularly the 1st two), are near-impossible to find today !
