THEY CALL US AU GO-GO SINGERS R 25280 (-64) US MONO

Au Go-Go Singers were a nine piece acoustic/vocal combo, performing at and taking their name from the legendary Cafe Au Go-Go night club in Greenwich Village, where they worked more or less as a house band the first year after the club opening 1964. The music was a kind of perky folk/country/pop, a style popular at the time with big selling bands as The New Christy Ministrels and The Serendipity Singers. This was the combo's only LP. Musically not my cup of tea, but interesting as a beginning for members Steven Stills and Richie Furay a few years before they met Neil Young and formed Buffalo Springfield. Best tracks on the album are from those two - Steven Stills' handeling "High Flyin' Bird" and Richie Furay's version of "Where I'm Bound" shows some not yet fully developed talent and a small foretaste of what to come. I don't know anything about other issues or if it was re-pressed. Guess this is rather early with label as shown here, thick vinyl and glossy cover. (FÖGÄ*) (YZÄ*) (ÖXCÅ*) (ZHÄ*)
