JOHNNY AND THE HURRICANES/STORMSVILLE HA-I 2269 (-60) UK MONO

For more background also check post on the debute. With this their third original LP not much had changed. Most of it happy instrumental rock with sax, organ or guitar in the lead and songs building on or developing well know tunes or licks. Biggest contemporary 45 hit "Reveille Rock" and its flip "Time Bomb" included plus the "Catnip"/"Rockin' T" single and three more EP cuts. So style samo-samo though still positive enough to make it good and probably on the spot for most fans back then. Lightweight and ingratiating perhaps, but you need that too sometimes to get around. Audio loud and crystal clear providing very good listening. Favorite tracks - "Reveille Rock", "Rockin' T" and "The Hep Canary". Premiere US and Canadian on Warwick (W 2010/W 2010ST). Also originally issued on London label in Australia and South Africa. German 1999 CD on Repertoire (REP 4740-WY) came with fourteen bonus tracks. First UK had label as shown here and laminated flip-back cover. (FÖGÄ*)
