Description

KILLER local sunshine pop psych RARITY from 1969 by the Summer Sounds, "Up Down", originally released on the Laurel label and given a Rarity Value of 5 (means it's pretty rare to those who follow such values) - originals sell for FOUR figures and home remortgages.  This is a superb and highly sought-after ORIGINAL LP ON LAURIE  of this AMAZING LP. Musically, this is incredible popsike that sounds a lot like the 1966-67 era UK psych scene of the Beatles, Zombies and Kinks - in other words, well-written, bouncy and catchy, sometimes moody pop psych tunes under 3 minutes.  "Hard to Please" is a highlight, all bouncy sunshine pop with great trippy faroff backing vocals breaking through the haze, and some very cool left channel only slashing Who/Creation style guitar.  "I Love You" takes the Zombies fixation to its inevitable end, with a nice spooky cover of their early tune, slowed down and given a heavy farfisa carnival organ makeover.  It's a GREAT version, and even out-moodies the Zombies original, taking care to add on some nice jangly Byrds-inspired guitar as well.  "You Told Me" is NOT a Turtles cover, but a teen garage stormer with nice double-tracked vocals and super catchy melody.

Cover VG+ has someons name written in pink on front 'jane ramas', normal age stains  a start of a split on bottom not even 1/2" but not a split yet. Vinyl is VG played but nothing deep, It plays fine. LP 331098 on Laurie.
