For more about the combo please check their first and only original release, the 1968 "Music Is Music" https://monolover.blogspot.com/2012/06/king-george-discoverymusic-is-music-al.html . This follow-up was recorded same year, but for some reason not released back then. Fortythree years later though rediscovered and put out by German Shadoks label. First issue was this 2011 and as the label was put down a couple of years later I guess that was it. A band consisting of US singer, songwriter and guitarist George Clemons together with three young Swedish musicians. It's very diverse, mixing ballads with uninhibited psycho parts carrying screamy vocals, wild drumming and flashy guitars. Most of it seemingly recorded live in the studio, making it come out very natural with lots of presence. Psych rock the way I like it. Exemple below. No doubt inspired by and honouring The Jimi Hendrix Experience, but also taking it further into freakier territories. As both melodic and very out-there I couldn't ask for more. Been on my turntable a lot since I found it and it always brings a rebellious smile on my face. Also issued on German CD (SHADOKS 136), but that's all. Vinyl came with label as shown here in a hard fully laminated cover with picture/info insert. (GÖXÄ*)
