 1964 WILD Beat Garage UK INVASION GROOVES!                                                           

     THE NASHVILLE TEENS

            TOBACCO ROAD

                       USA - (Maroon)  London FFRR -  LL 3407 - mono

RARE 1964 MONO first pressing on the widely sought and collected maroon & silver London label (((FFRR, full frequency sound))) delivering the big boom punch of the British Invasion in full glory.... comes with the original London Records FFRR inner sleeve

The Nashville Teens were one of a brace of British acts competing for attention in the booming days of the early British Invasion and its early purely English phenomenon, the British beat boom. They were distinguished from most of the others by scoring a memorable and serious hit, "Tobacco Road."  In those days, they played basic garage rock 'n' beat with perhaps a bit more wild abandon even then than their competition. The Nashville Teens were a truly kick-ass beat rockin' band. Their main claim to fame was providing the kamikaze backup with hot versions Of "Mona," "I Like It Like That," "La Bamba," and "Too Much" are the album's high points in the group's halcyon days. 

So not only is this a great album on its own with a great backbeat of rock 'n' blues Brit Invasion, true to the fascination of its strong beat-rock punch, and they really give their all in the simplistic yet distinctive approach. The Hit single Tobacco road. is of course, a good swinging experience, no doubt about that.  The songs are solid with a typical steady arrangement of guitar, drums, bass, + some great keys holding it all together. There are jolly stompers such as "Google Eye", down to the bone bluesers like "Parchment Farm", played in a swingin' rocked arrangement. There are frenzy shakers like "Mona." The beatrock boogie touch of "I like it like that" and somegroovin' sing along backings in "How Deep is the Ocean." Their showcase of neat balladry can also be found on the album with the fine accomplished "Need You" with its gentle swing and sombre harmonies ... then again standouts like the raw & rumble of "La Bamba" and "Hootchie Kootchie Man" show where this bands bread & butter is at. A strong album that does not come around much...collectors don't let go, most copies in private collections.

CONDITION: The cover is solid but has the usual shelf wear found on the black boarder of the album, and with light rub wear on spine, so, VG+... while the back cover with group photos and band information is near excellent ...the cover has no seam splits, no bends, no writing

The vinyl is both sides are all glossy with only a random small scuff line here or there, but nothing near bad, and plays terrific! VG++ visual, playing excellent.
