Description
The Spiders: Vincent Furnier, Dennis Dunaway, Glen Buxton, John Speer, John Tatum. Recorded at the legendary Audio Recorders in Phoenix, AZ. 1965/1966. Produced by Jack Curtis. Liner notes by Mike Dugo and Dwayne Witten of Mascot Records. Numbered, Limited Edition on Red Vinyl - 1000 copies. Released on Oktay Records OKLP-001. Before they were the Alice Cooper Group, they were The Spiders - a local band in Phoenix, Arizona that became one of the house bands at the most popular teen club in Phoenix - The VIP Club, owned and operated by Jack Curtis (RIP, February 2023). In 1965, Curtis took the band into the studio (Floyd Ramsey's legendary Audio Recorders) to cut two sides; cover songs "Why Don't You Love Me" and "Hitch Hike," for his Mascot record label. In 1966, they cut one more, this time an original song; ("Don't Blow Your Mind") for Mascot, before re-recording that same song in Tucson, AZ for a different label (Santa Cruz). The original 45 release of the first two songs (Mascot #112) is a highly-sought after collectors' item now, and all 3 songs have been released on vinyl and CDs several times over the years. However, most the tracks on this release have never been released. This album contains the entire (still-existing) recording sessions of all 3 songs; including false starts, alternative versions, studio chatter, etc. This is an historic release of one of the world's most popular, influential and enduring rock bands. This is not a bootleg - all material on this release has been legally licensed from Mascot Records. A limited collector's edition.
