Description
Originally recorded in 1968, this is a limited out-of-orint numbered repress from the early 90s of the LP by The Smack on Smack TS9104. Of the many hundreds of teenagers who attended The Midwestern Band And Art Camp in Lawrence Kansas in the summer of 1968, only four were into the then current rock music! All of the others were into marching bands! These four found each other and played rock music at night and marching band music by day at camp. As the six week long camp drew to a close, camp members got to play nightly onstage to entertain the other campers. When The Smack got up to do their set and started to play, the camp director quickly pulled the plug, saying they were too loud! A day later, after the end of camp. the four members of Smack recorded nine tracks in a studio in one afternoon. They then went home to their four respective states and never saw one another again! The studio contracted with RCA to have 100-150 LPs pressed. These were then sent to students who had signed purchase requests at band camp. The nine songs recorded for the LP were: Purple Haze, Fire, Sunshine Of Your Love, I'm So Glad, Swalbr,Manic Depression, Set Me Free, For What It's Worth, and Foxy Lady. TREMENDOUS hard psych that I consider to be the best of it's class! The handfuls of original copies of this LP known sold for four figures plus and are not leaving those collections! This limited repress was of 300 copies, of which this is 156. It also includes the information insert. These LPs never came sealed.
