The Litter – Emerge (Probe CPLP 4504, 1969) Gatefold LP, VG+/VG+, Psychedelic Acid Rock
CVNH Catalog No: EN-26
Original 1969 U.S. gatefold pressing of The Litter’s Emerge, issued on the Probe label (CPLP 4504). This LP is one of the rawest, most fuzz-drenched entries in late-’60s American psych, blending proto-prog ambition with garage rock grit. A cult classic for fans of fuzz, feedback, and chaos wrapped in gatefold glory.
Album Overview:
Emerge is the heaviest and most aggressive album by Minneapolis psych band The Litter. Known for their earlier garage work (“Action Woman”), this record leans into heavy acid rock and experimental touches—opening with “Journeys,” and closing with the epic 12-minute freak-out “Future of the Past.”
Track Highlights:
-
“Blue Ice” – A slow, creepy burner dripping in phase and fuzz
-
“For What It’s Worth” – A heavy, snarling cover of the Buffalo Springfield hit
-
“Little Red Book” – Transforms the Bacharach classic into a proto-punk stomp
-
“Future of the Past” – Full-blown psych-prog jam with massive solo sections
