The tempo was often fast, the plastic organ sounds dated and cheezy, but there's some really good stuff I'd be happy to recommend deeper exploration of, if you think you'll ever listen again.
I'd definitely want to check out what you've got at the next get-together. Like I said- this is a collection of their Phillips recordings. It seems pretty complete. And I've been diggin it for the most part. I like a faster tempo myself & when the organs aren't being cheesy- there's some pretty cool sounds!
And you'r right- they have awesome vocal harmonies. Even their cheese epic "Mountains of Madness" boasts some sweet vocal.
sounds like you have a repackaged version of the same CD I brought to Chez Shray's when you and I rode up together. When I was a kid, "The White Ship" was a staple of KMPX-FM, the first underground station. I actually ended up discovering a black folk/blues player from Chicago named Terry Callier, who wrote "Spin, Spin, Spin" and "It's About Time." I also liked their Fred Neil songs, "Get Together" and "High Flyin' Bird."
