RARE ... ADVANCED RELEASE PROMOTIONAL
Original 1969 first pressing of a Monstrous 1969 U.S. heavy fuzz rock released on the Map City label (Purple Image). The album features the vocal gymnastics of Dennis Croce and the awesome psychedelic acid guitar of Reggie Wright. Loaded with ripping amphetamine and LSD fuelled guitar work just the way we like it!
This 1969 underground classic LP from the Connecticut band "Yesterday's Children" is real lost gem. This was the only album they ever made, but oh what a stunning success it was musically, even though it wasn't recognized on a national level.
Reggie Wright played a significant role as the lead guitar player. His strengths were more than obvious in each song as he tore his way through each number relentlessly without clutter. The group was led by brothers Denis Croce (guitar) and Richard Croce (vocals). The rhythm section of Chuck Maher (bass) and Ralph Muscatelli (drums) were standup from start to finish, providing the pumping and thumping force that drove their musical machine. Side one is very good and side two is nothing less than remarkable. The four songs presented are solid and unfailing, featuring the powerful fat chords of Wright. The rest of the band easily falls into line with such resourceful leadership to complete the overall effects of each and every track. Notable as well is the colorful and detailed cover art. It reminded me of Gulliver's Travel's.
This is a fine album that flirts with progressive rock continually. For a one shot effort they certainly put it all together on this album. When you hear this you will be amazed at the sound quality and musicianship. It will make you wonder why they were a fly by night act that never continued beyond this album.
