Rediscovered this yesterday. Had it since forever but it's like dead-on for the early June listening. I know Tony rides.



This is the Atco pressing. Would love to grip a Plumm pressing. Gonna ride back and forth between this and Lee Michaels all weekend I think...

Anyway. Feel free to let this thread die or whatever. Or talk about beer or BLACK PEOPLE.

    Yeah didn't the record the whole record like straight through, on some 3 hour shit?

    * Edit - just read the back of the jacket. It was actually 6 hours 45 minutes and the album was recorded. Fury indeed. Frosty is that motherfucker.

    That was the first Lee Michaels record I got. I found another one a few weeks later and was like "hell yeah, more drumbreakscreamingmadness". I got home and was like "WTF?!" Even his other live album couldn't touch the S/T.

    :hijack:

    I still haven't heard that T & V record...

    I rides for this. I put "Can't Get Enough Of Your Love" on my mix for Grain Edit a couple of years ago:

    Really into this record, but as soon as you said Lee Michaels I got the hankerin' to go listen to that.

    I don't have a rip of that Teegarden LP, but just found one of their "On Our Way" LP:

    I ride for that album! Might have to put it on today, had totally forgotten about it. Reminds me a little of the Pookah album, another woozy sureshot organ LP.

    This is Teegarden & Van Winkle live, doing their organ-soul thing on local TV - Detroit Tube Works, ca. 1969. Would this be what the album sounds like?

    And to think I mainly knew them from this - "God, Love & Rock & Roll," which made them one-hit wonders in 1970:

    tony your new avatar, yikes.

    cos i love this T and VanW album!
    i would venture to say that psk turned me on to it in about 2000 and that it was actually a threshold record for me, i started looking for stuff like it when i hadn't done so before. i ride. hi buddy!

    can i just say, that outta the 3 or 4 albums ive heard with these dudes, the frontlawn shutgun cover live album is the best one by a mile, also, it sorta reminds me of hansson karlsson records due to the simular set up, organ and drums only.. although the swedish duo is a bit more of a space flight, where teegarden and van winkle has the earthy soul sound..
