RARE 1969 ORIGINAL HARD FUZZ GARAGE UNDERGROUND !
The FLOATING BRIDGE
\ USA - VAULT RECORDS - SLP 124
Excellent Seattle-based hard rock outfit. Guitarist Rich Dangel had previously been a member of The Wailers, the Seattle garage legends. Released in 1969 the cleverly titled "Floating Bridge" teamed the band with producer Jackie Mills. Musically the set offered up a standard mix of originals and popular covers, but the results were killer throughout. With Dangel, Johnson and Gossan responsible for most of the original material, tracks like 'Brought Up Wrong', the earlier single 'Watch Your Step', and 'Three Minute & Ten Second Blues' sported a distinctively heavy, Hendrix-inspired sound.Propelled by Gossan's likeable voice and Dangel and Johansen's twin fuzzed leads and extended guitar rave-ups like 'Crackpot' plus their Byrds/Stones fuzzed/psych medley should strike a chord with all the hard rock, garage & psych fans out there reading this.
Elsewhere another 'Hey Jude' cover wouldn't have sounded like the year's most imaginative move, but these guys managed to pull it off. Envision the song redone as an instrumental with a heavy edge that would have sounded good on an early Allman Brothers album ... one of the most impressive Beatles covers ever heard. All in all the album is much better than the standard references would have you think (and surprisingly hard to find in decent shape).
