Haven't had to offer in SOME TIME, gotten RARE!
RARE one ... a little seen 1969 FIRST pressing of a highly rated, obscure all girl garage band named The Feminine Complex ... highlights include wild scream-punk-fuzz nuggets, a sure treat for sixties & garage-rock collectors...
...................................................................................................................................
The little known The Feminine Complex have to be seen as ground-breakers as an all girl, self-contained band, simply having had the talent, skills and fortitude to record an album in the late-'60s stands as an amazing accomplishment. The fact the set is as good as it is, makes it all the more impressive.
Attending Nashville Tennessee's Maplewood High School, in 1966 sophomores Lana Napiers and Jean Williams decided to form their own band. They quickly recruited fellow students/friends Mindy Dalton and Judy Griffith, practicing under the name The Pivots (the name apparently suggested by their basketball coach). Within a couple of months, the quartet had mastered their instruments, as well as cobbling together a set of popular covers). They began playing dances and talent shows (including an early date at one of their school assemblies). Adding friend/keyboard player Pame Stephens to the lineup, the quintet opted for a name change. As The Feminine Complex, by the following year the group was regularly gaining paying dates (probably not hurt by their attractive looks at penchant for high boots and miniskirts). By 1968 the band was beginning to attract considerable attention, including appearances on local Nashville television shows (The Noon Show and The Ralph Emery Show). The resulting publicity led to an opening slot for a 1910 Fruitgum Company concert in New York City and appearance on NBC's Showcase '68 television program. They also caught the attention of Dee Kilpatrick and Rick Powell. Having just formed their own Athena label, they were the first band signed to the new label.
Produced by Powell, 1969's "Livin' Love" is a strange effort. Largely penned by Dalton, musically the set offered up a weird mix of raw rockers and ballads. On one hand, fuzz and feedback propelled rockers such as the leadoff stomper "Hide and Seek", the feedback paced "It's", "Time Slips By (When You Are On My Mine)" and the soulful-propelled "Run That Thru Your Mind" were apparently a true reflection of the band's live act. At the other end of the spectrum, backed by studio musicians and elaborated arrangements, "Now I Need You", "Are You Lonesome Like Me" and "I Won't Run" reflected Kilpatrick and Powell's desire to give the band a more polished and commercial sound. Ironically, by the time the record was released, falling victim to parental pressure to complete school, Napiers, Stephens and Williams had all quit the band. (That probably explains why Dalton and Griffith were the only two band members shown on the back cover.) With a matter of months the other two had called it quits.
