      ALBUM:

      1(-) MARBLE PHROGG... (Derrick 8868) 1968

      NB: (1) counterfeited on vinyl and CD in the early nineties.


      45s:

      1 Love Me Again / ? (Derrick # unknown) 1968
      2 Fire / There's A Girl (Derrick 8568) 1968


      This now rare and sought-after album was the work of a band from Tulsa in Northeastern Oklahoma. Although entirely embellished with cover versions collectors will pay hundreds of bucks for an original copy, the attraction being that many of the covers are as good, maybe even better than the originals. First off is I'm So Glad with some tasty fuzz guitar; next up is Love Me Again with more superb guitar work; this is evident too on Mars Bonfire's Born To Be Wild - every bit as good as The Steppenwolf version. There's a fine rendition of The Byrds' I Feel A Whole Lot Better, a very psychedelic treatment of Ingle-De Loach's Fields Of Sun with some excellent guitarwork and drumming and a fine Hendrix impersonation on Fire. Side Two isn't quite as good but it includes a rehash of Mick Jagger's Connection, a very fuzzy cover of Strange Brew and impressive reworks of Donovan's Season Of The Witch and Eric Burdon's Sky Pilot. Certainly any collector of psychedelia should snap up the recent repress. It has an interesting back cover too!

      Compilation appearances have included: Love Me Again and Born To Be Wild on Kicks & Chicks (LP).
