Sugar Creek released "Please Tell A Friend" in 1969 and the cuts are rock oriented with some blues, rock and even psych amongst the mix. The vocal style and sound is above average for the year it was released.
The sound mix is really good; a lucid and brisk sound is maintained for the entire run of the LP. Each song manages to hold its own, and that's why a very solid and consistent recording is presented here in the vinyl format. The group members’ were Gary Gans, Todd McKinney, John Edwards, and Malcolm McKinney. The songwriter’s credits are listed on each song but the all-important listing of what each member contributed (instruments, vocals) is not. There is no listing for whom played what, just the track listing and a large snapshot of the group with the corresponding names underneath each picture. This is as obscure as it gets folks; We have always been attracted to the obscure and mysterious, and tend to root for the underdog with no commercial potential. Having a shroud of mystery and the unknown around something tends to add to the listening experience within. So for those of you that think those aspects are appealing, you will be able to appreciate everything this album does and does not offer. The saving grace for the lack of details about the group is the overall quality in music, sound and presentation. This is a very good album. Pick it up … and please tell a friend.
