1966 MONO ORIGINAL

GARAGE PUNK CLASSIC

THE STANDELLS

DIRTY WATER

USA - TOWER RECORDS - T 2057 - MONO

Original 1966 first pressing of the great breakout album by the raw punk garage grooves of the STANDELLS and their stunning national hit "DIRTY WATER"

The bold mono release is suitable for this garage punk pounder...An early leading band on the California Hollywood Sunset Strip scene...the mighty DIRTY WATER album by the STANDELLS contains a high number of garage gems - Medication, Little Sally Tease, Dirty Water and Sometimes Good Guys. Excellent drums and outstanding Bill Wyman influenced bass. People can be condescending about 'garage' bands, but any contemporary band could learn something about laying down an effective bass-line from this album. Dirty Water" was the Standells Tower Records debut. The title song is a Punk classic reproduced on numerous "Nuggets"-type comps, and along with the five and-a-half minute "Rari" was recorded in Hollywood. Most of the remaining tracks - originals, covers, and songs were recorded in April 1966 and were over-modulated directly to the multi-track tape, causing the finished master to become a powerful...gritty and distorted wash of sound... charactistic of the Northwest punk/garage bands recording such as the Sonics. These early recordings contained influenced later groups like the MC5.
Drummer Dave Dodd (an ex-Mouseketeer!) had a sexy, delicately cool and seductive voice -- Dodd sings about two-thirds of the material included and is a near-forgotton punk-rock progenitor. He could snarl with the best Jagger-imitators and convey the soft bad-boy sexiness that exudes both cruelty and vulnerability. (His vocal on the classic "Medication" is one of the most understated and seductive ever!). Despite scores of versions recorded in 1966, Dodd manages to make "Hey Joe" sound like it was written for him. Keyboardist Larry Tamblyn also contributes a couple of fine rockers.

Down by the River... Down by the banks of the River Charles (Oh, that's what's happenin' baby) That's where you'll find me Along with lovers, muggers, and thieves. (Ahh, but they're cool people) I love that dirty water 'Oh oh, Boston, you're my home

CONDITION: The cover is solid on all parts, for some reason the previous owner had put 3 little pieces of clear tape on the edges that were removed and left 3 small (light!) dicoloration marks at edges (minor) = there are no split seams, no bends and no writing. There is a round cow head stamp at top right on back cover(!?!) that is out of the way and almost looked like part of the cover...visual VG+ then...with virually no wear on the group front cover and would have been "EX" (excellent) clean without the little bits mentioned above...

The vinyl is clean, VG+(+) both sides are very shiny, only some minor hard to see little light short hairline scuffs, and otherwise vastly clear and clean....the deep groove pressing is with excellent playback quality.

A cool addition to anyone's music library!

ATTENTION: Slight Error in above description...The COVER states 'stereo' ...the record is definitely MONO (T-5027) ...apparently was originally sold like this as came from original owner who had purchased the Lp in the sixties...
