Shrink Wrap MINT 1967 ORIGINAL with RARE cover!!!
TOMMY JAMES AND THE SHONDELLS
((2nd Lp))
featuring "I Think We're Alone Now" & "Mirage"
...USA - Roulette Records - 25353 stereo
ORIGINAL 1967 Vinyl first pressing with better and RARE group cover before "Roulette Records" changed the cover to the black cover with yellow footsteps...
*MINT* condition still in original shrink wrapper, makes this a TOP copy and best we've ever come across with the hard to find RARE first sleeve!
"I Think We're Alone Now" was the first Top Five hit for Tommy James since his 1966 chart-topper "Hanky Panky,"
The tension of the opening guitar and bass riff coupled with the great melody and theme make for an all-time rock & roll classic. It's more "hanky panky" in theme, "Hanky Panky" all grown up. "Mirage" opens side two and it is a brilliant sequel to "I Think We're Alone Now," with similar structure but enough production tricks to make the songs sound different. The harpsichord from side one's "Trust Each Other in Love" is used again in "Mirage" to great effect, while the underlying riff in "Trust Each Other in Love" also borrows from the title track. Co-produced by Bo Gentry and Cordell, with the ever-present Jimmy Wisner arranging and conducting, the album features the band and production team working as a cohesive unit to solidify Tommy James' foundation in the sixties poprock scene. There's a credible cover of the Rivieras' 1964 hit "California Sun," as well a short and nicely chaotic rendition of the Isley Brothers' perennial "Shout." James' voice and personality carry the record and Cordell continues rewriting the title track with "Run, Run, Baby, Run," inverting the inspired riff. He and the singer then compose "(Baby, Baby) I Can't Take It No More," which has the garage punk feel of the Rascals' "I Ain't Gonna Eat out My Heart Anymore," while "Gone, Gone, Gone" sounds like Ritchie Cordell was listening to U.K. group Unit 4 + 2's "Concrete and Clay." There are plenty of flavors from the day slipped into this wonderful mix, a true pop concoction that has stood the test of time. This album is all Tommy James and is an important and highly entertaining piece of the Shondells' catalog
