From the world's number one source for rare Arizona vinyl comes this true garage gem by (The) SPIDERS "Don't Blow Your Mind" b/w "No Price Tag" on the Santa Cruz label 10,003 A/B. Great Arizona Fuzz Garage Punk Psych from 1966. One of the rarest records from Arizona, and Alice Cooper's second release, with a nice Fuzzy guitar on "DBYM." Recorded by Forster S. Cayce at his Copper State Studio in Tucson, AZ. Very few pressed (300? 500?) Vinyl is solid VG+ visually, "DBYM" plays VG++ and "No Price Tag" has 6 light clicks, not that bad. There is a light storage warp, DNP and the stylus tracks with a light, gentle, straight up and down motion. The labels are lovely VG++, with just a few light rubs. Hear clips of both sides above. No reserve. This is the original 45 rpm record. Check my positive feedback and bid with confidence. Satisfaction Guaranteed. A very nice copy! Don't miss this one. See scans.And now some history....Santa Cruz Records, 815 East Broadway, Tucson, AZ, was owned by Forster Cayce, who also ran the Copper State record label and studio there. After a disappointing vinyl debut on Jack Curtis' Mascot Records (1965) he decided to send his house band (The VIP Club)South to The Old Pueblo to work with Cayce, who was known for his ability to focus bands and singers on getting the most out of their music. By this time the group was ready to record their original songs and with Cayce's input they picked the best two to record. They spent an afternoon listening to Hard Rock records suggested by Cayce for inspiration before starting the tape machine. Curtis also thought that a new label might be better for the band this time, as Mascot was more of a Pop/Rock label, so the record came out on the Santa Cruz imprint. You have to admit that it was a huge leap from the British wave of "Why Don't You Love Me" to the much darker "Don't Blow Your Mind." Unfortunately, other than some local play, it flopped too and before long the group morphed into The Nazz, for a brief moment in 1967. Listening back 54 years later, it's obvious what a great debut this is for the band as the interpreters of their own songs and of course in a few more years the world would come know and love Alice Cooper.
