THE NOVELLS - That Did It (A Happening with The Novells) LP 1968-69 SWEET DANDELION SWDDL728
Very Limited Vinyl few hundred copies worldwide, Includes all recordings album and 45.Seriously arty pop it mixes soft melodies with searing acidic guitar - tracks like Love (a Lee Michaels cover) owe a heavy debt to the Vanilla Fudge school, a nice blend of pop melodies with a slant towards hard rock. Tasty fuzz guitars on the track "Love" (a Lee Michaels cover) and a great cover of "Sitting on the Dock of the Bay" A passable psych pop group as well as a serious rock band. Album produced by Boyce and Hart, members of The Monkees. All the original songs have fantastic guitar, cool harmonized vocals, very competent drums, and melodic hooks. It's pop/psych but some tracks sound more garage-y, like "Pink Wallpaper". "Almost There" was a single, and is a good punchy track with tempo changes. "Pink Wallpaper", "Age of Innocence", "Only You" (not The Platters song!) and "Glass House" all stand out as well constructed and delivered songs by what sounds like a pretty youthful group. They have a delightful period naivety to their sound and a lot of it sounds like it could be used as sound library hire-out material for insertion into US TV series of the day. Overall, it's a very good and undiscovered pop album with enough guitar attack and melodic hooks.
