RARE 1969 ORIGINAL U.S. FIRST PRESSING!
"THE KOALA- s/t"
1969 Capitol SKAO 176 label
The condition of the cover is VG with a round cut-out hole. The disc is a bit rough with considerable scuffs and some scratches that cause surface noise and a couple of non-repeating pops. Mostly an enjoyable listen to my ears.
The Koala played a sloppy brand of rock full of power chords, out of control fuzz guitar solos and thundering drums. The album is uniformly strong and diverse, showing strong Cream, Rascals, and Who influences. Take a good listen to the mini revolution that is Look At The Way She Comes. This song is the very definition of punk rock: searing guitars, arrogant vocals and titantic drums. It’s pitched halfway between You Better Run era Rascals and the Blue Magoo’s circa self-titled 1968 album – a true classic with a definitive New York sound! Poppa Duke Tyler hits just as hard, with one huge, mind melting fuzz guitar solo and limey vocals. Other songs like Elizabeth and Nothings Changed play it soft and slow while still capturing an attractive sound. This is another lost treasure from the 60’s and an absolute must for garage heads!
