CD-The Litter - Distortions & Live at the Electric Theatre~Garage~Psych~60's

Description: ( DISTORTIONS ) by ( THE LITTER )...... ....(The Litter's debut album was disappointing in the sense that there are only a couple of songs that were not covers. However, they were one of the few garage bands to invest enough energy and imagination into their interpretations to make a cover-heavy LP worth hearing. "Action Woman" is here, and they go about tackling, and sometimes dismantling, numbers like the Small Faces' "Whatcha Gonna Do About It" and the Who's "A Legal Matter" (both of which were barely known in the U.S. at this point, incidentally). "I'm a Man," though based on the Yardbirds' version, gets into some pretty incredible feedback/distortion swirls in the closing rave-up section. Distortions has been reissued a few times, but the 1999 CD on Arf! Arf! is the one to get, as it includes two outtakes ("Hey Joe" and the 25-second, hardly worth noting "Harpsichord Sonata #1") and seven songs, mostly previously unreleased, recorded live at Chicago's Electric Theatre in August 1968. This was the music that the band played while filming a scene in Haskell Wexler's film Medium Cool (although none of the music was used in the movie), and it's in a heavier, bluesier hard rock direction than their 1967 recordings, but still retains some of the punky spirit of the Distortions era. 1 Distortions (1966): Action Woman 2 Distortions (1966): Whatcha Gonna Do About It 3 Distortions (1966): Codine 4 Distortions (1966): Somebody Help Me 5 Distortions (1966): Substitute 6 Distortions (1966): The Mummy 7 Distortions (1966): I'm So Glad 8 Distortions (1966): A Legal Matter 9 Distortions (1966): Rack My Mind 10 Distortions (1966): Soul-Searchin' 11 Distortions (1966): I'm a Man 12 Distortions (1966): Hey Joe 13 Distortions (1966): Harpsichord Sonata 14 Live at the Electric Theater (8/18/68): Here I Go Again 15 Live at the Electric Theater (8/18/68): The Egyptian 16 Live at the Electric Theater (8/18/68): (Under the Screaming Double) Eagle 17 Live at the Electric Theater (8/18/68): Confessions (Of a Traveler Through Time) 18 Live at the Electric Theater (8/18/68): Blues One 19 Live at the Electric Theater (8/18/68): She's Not There 20 Live at the Electric Theater (8/18/68): Pegasus )....... )[postage rates:HELLO FRIENDS & CUSTOMERS— IF YOU HAVE WON MORE THAN ONE ITEM--PLEASE DO NO T SEND PAYMENT—TILL WE SEND YOU A PROPER INVOICE TAKING ANY AND ALL SPECIFICS INTO CONSIDERATION-WE WILL TRY TO SEND AN INVOICE BETWEEN 24-48 HOURS OF THE AUCTIONS ENDING.] Powered by SixBit's eCommerce Solution
