Album Description
Available in:
2008 digitally remastered edition of this Garage Rock/Psychedelic classic, originally released in 1967. Initially known as The Weeds and featuring Fred "Deep Soul" Cole, The Lollipop Shoppe sound amazingly modern. After The Weeds signed to UNI Records, their new manager, the infamous Lord Tim Hudson, insisted they change their name to The Lollipop Shoppe to fit in with the current trend of bizarrely named Bubblegum groups. The band's actual recordings are hardly Bubblegum, but instead a mix of crunching Garage Rock and wild Psychedelia. The album and its single, 'You Must Be a Witch,' are period classics and still prized by collectors, though neither made the charts. The band opened for stars such as Janis Joplin and The Doors, and appeared in the biker movie Angels from Hell. 14 tracks. Rev-Ola.
User Album Review
Initially saw the light of day in 1968, as this was the psychedelic / garage rock ensemble's sole lp. I thought this band's name looked familiar - for it has a song on the 'Nuggets, First Psychedelic Era - 1965-1968' 4-CD box set. Here, you get the original lp + two bonus songs. Tracks that make this CD reissue a should-have are "You Must Be A Witch" (reminds me of The Seeds), the upbeat "Who'll Red The Will?", the somewhat sappy "It's Only A Reflection", "Don't Look Back", the catchy "It Ain't How Long" (belongs on one of those numerous cool various artists collection) and the awesome "You Don't Give Me No More". Line-up: Fred Cole (The Weeds, Zipper) - vocals, Ron Buzzell (also, a member of The Weeds - obviously, I wasn't aware that most if not all these musicians were in The Weeds) & Ed Bowen - guitars & vocals, Bob Atkins - bass, John The Greek - keyboards, Carl Fortina - accordion and Tim Rockson - drums. Should pull in fans of Music Machine, the previously mentioned Seeds, Thirteenth Floor Elevators and maybe Chocolate Watchband. One thing I wanted to mention about the Lollipop Shoppe's monicker SURE doesn't 'fit' their music. Another over-looked late '60's audio gem.
