THE SCAFFOLD/THANK U VERY MUCH 6018 (-68) US

  For more check post on their UK "L the P" LP  https://monolover.blogspot.com/2014/02/scaffoldl-p-pcs-7077-69-uk.html and read the presentation from the rear sleeve below. This US album can be percieved as a kind of early greatest hits as it almost entirely consists of 45 A:s and B:s originally issued on UK Parlophone 1966-68. Though a compilation it's also their only genuine studio album - no live takes, no poetry reading or story telling, just a collection of songs.  All self-penned and handeled by some of the foremost sixties producers in UK - George Martin, John Burgess, Tony Palmer and Norrie Paramor. Spinning through I'm getting very English and perky more or less whimsical numbers, much in the same vein as Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band https://monolover.blogspot.com/search?q=(B%C3%96G%C3%84*) , done with tons of positive energy and well calibrated backing. And even if some of it may seem dated in this very different day and age I can't help smiling and feeling a little bit lighter when listening. Exemples below. All cuts here are true stereo. As they originally emerged in mono only it could be they were remixed for this issue.  To my knowledge this was the only release, also as white label mono promo. All cuts on here and a couple more can also be found on the UK 1982 LP "Singles A:s and B:s" (See For Miles CM 114), or the Parlophone 2002 CD "Thank U Very Much - The Best Of Scaffold".  Premiere (only?) US vinyl had label as shown here in a laminated cover.  (YZÄ*)  (MÖK*)
