Alexander's Timeless Bloozband
For Sale
Very Rare original US LP released on Uni Records in 1969. 1st US pressing.
This is a very intriguing release from Alexander's (San Diego-Based) Timeless Bloozband. I picked up the record on the basis that it was mentioned in one of the early issues of the pioneering rock mag "Crawdaddy!" and was immediately drawn in by the fantastic cover art. Seriously, this has got to be one of my favorite record sleeves of all time. Great colors and a wonderful image of the sad-eyed lady in the wicker chair with the band's name spelled out in psychedelic letters-- "timeless", indeed!
With such a welcoming image, surely the tunes inside had to great, right?
Well, the music here does start off in fine fashion with a hard blues titled "Love So Strong", which apparently was the single though I don't think it ever charted. This winning number segues nicely into the album's real highlight, the jazzy "Horn Song", which musically is very much in line with what bands like The Electric Flag were doing at the time. (We'll call it psychedelic jazz blues, for lack of a better term.) The lyrics on this one are delivered at a rapid pace and contain a well-worded, anti-authoritarian message very much in line with the prevailing cynical mindset of your average 1968 street urchin. A fantastic song that would make great fodder for any forward-thinking late-60's compilationist.
