Feelin' Dead
scum stats: limited to 30 hand-stamped test presses (this) and 500 standard copies on random colored vinyl
Deeply dug Detroit rock and roll, recommended if you like Marshall stacks, sick riffs, songs about heroin, and the whiff of almost making it.
Recordings are culled from the best takes of both studio and live sessions, all conversant all sounding exactly as you'd imagined (and hoped), the track "Feelin' Dead" is a cut above the rest, giving off a presence of sophistication and that leaves it markedly beyond everything else on the album.
(The cut here is the live version, while the version originally released in 1974 on a promo only single is the arguably better studio take).
The band broke up after only a year and kudos to the investigators at Riding Easy Records for not only tracking down the band, but uncovering the unheard tapes.
We need more folks doing THAT kind of work.
Recommended if you like Alice Cooper, the early Ted Nugent, drinking Stroh's on the Detroit River
This is why I love the Vault. Keep digging in those crates Blackwell!
Great find. I agree with you that we need to rescue the old (some forgotten) music that are in yard sales and flea markets. I will pass on an Eagles or Beatles record for one that I have never heard of. I have goobs of records that need to be submitted into Discogs but I need time to take the picture, research the band and find out as much as possible about the disc. Keep on looking at the bottom of the bin, love these!! Thanks…………
