Product Information

The Blues Magoos launched their recording career with the LP Psychedelic Lollipop. The equally impressive Electric Comic Book refines the band's mix of rock ’n’ roll and day-glo psychedelia. That punchy yet playful approach animates such distinctive numbers as “Pipe Dream,” “Rush Hour,” “There’s a Chance We Can Make It” and “Albert Common Is Dead.”

Sundazed’s new vinyl edition also features a replica of the original comic book that was packaged with the album’s original pressings.

This ’60s garage-psych nugget is now available from Sundazed on High Definition Vinyl, sourced from the original Mercury-label stereo masters, with the colorful original cover art meticulously reproduced.

In their '60s heyday, the Blues Magoos were one of the first garage-punk bands to achieve mainstream success, and one of the first to embrace psychedelia. Early in their existence, the Bronx-bred quintet's high-energy live sets made them a popular attraction on the Greenwich Village club scene. Once they began making records, they quickly emerged as one of one of the earliest and most inventive exponents of the psychedelic sound. The band's 1966 debut album Psychedelic Lollipop and its 1967 followup Electric Comic Book, are two of that period's most beloved and enduring albums.

Product-Information:

Madcap music and special effects helped these all-American hippies create a crazy blend of Pop Art and cartoon-ish musical lunacy that brightened up the late Sixties. Featuring Mike Esposito on guitar, this was The Magoos’ second album, released in March 1967. It includes the single track ‘Pipe Dream’, sung by Ralph Scala, who takes most of the vocals. Informative sleeve notes and band interviews by Mike Stax, plus 11 bonus tracks - including single versions and rarities - complete this ‘must-have’ 60s package.
