CHOCOLATE WATCHBAND "ONE STEP BEYOND" D.J. COPY RARE LP THIS IS A RARE PROMO RECORD ON TOWER 5153 COVER HAS SOME WEAR STAMPED "FOR D.J. USE" ON THE BACK COVER VINYL HAS SOME WEAR AND A FEW SCRATCHES ON THE VINYL. I PLAYED THE LP AND IT DIDN'T SKIP. IT'S REALLY IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE. TRACKS ARE: Uncle Morris / How Ya Been / Devil's Motorcycle / I Don't Need No Doctor / Flowers / Fireface / And She's Lonely / Don't Need Your Lovin' / Sitting There Standing / Blues Theme / Loose Lip Sync Ship This Southern California punk powerhouse were one of the finest exponents of English influenced R & B, and on a good day, even gave The Rolling Stones a run for their money. The sneering vocals of Dave Aguilar were complemented by Mark Loomis (guitar), Sean Tolby (guitar), Bill Flores (bass) and Gary Andrijasevich (drums). Spotted by legendary producer and songwriter Ed Cobb, the man who also developed The Standells sound, their first release was a cover of Davie Allen's Blue's Theme, released under the name The Hogs. The first release under their own name was a classic slice of Ed Cobb. Sweet Young Thing (1966) was a searing, evil slab of raw, powerful R & B, with Aguilar's vocals a stand-out. Their debut album No Way Out featured the soon-to-be garage standard, Let's Talk About Girl's (1967), though Cobb decided to replace Aguilar's raw vocal track with the more dulcet tones of session singer Don Bennett. This kind of producer and label involvement caused disharmony in the group and soon members were coming and going with increased regularity. However, Cobb kept the group's name alive, releasing the album The Inner Mystique (1968), featuring a whole slew of studio musicians, though the album did contain excellent versions of The Kinks' I'm Not Like Everybody Else and Bob Dylan's It's All Over Now Baby Blue. A final album One Step Beyond (1969) again seemed to be the producer's vehicle though it did feature Aguilar's terrific track Don't Need Your Lovin'. The groups influence seemed to grow and grow as the years passed, finding new audience's and fans generation after generation. Records are in great shape. Please email me with any questions!!!
