1968 Debut album. Hailing from Detroit. Cut From The Original Analog Master Tapes By Kevin Gray. Over the Top Psychedelic Fuzz Guitar Masterpiece. SRC was born out of a smashing up of two of Detroit’s brightest bands, The Fugitives and the Chosen Few (which also featured future Stooges Ron Asheton). The new band gained a fanatic local following, eventually capturing the attention of Capitol Records. The band shifts effortlessly from mountaintop introspection to wild distorted crescendos creating one of the most melodically heavy LPs ever made. Upon its release in the U.S in 1968, the LP created fan and critical excitement. Still, it was in the U.K where the cultdom made its most significant impact, with John Peel playing the hell out of it on his radio show and even Genesis’ Peter Gabriel claiming that this first SRC album was one of his favourites, saying he “wore the record out” (and you can absolutely hear SRC’s melodies buried inside Gabriel’s musical DNA!)
