Some words on this issue: SWOONERS: “Portrait of D’Swooners” (Philips – FS-8027)  Really TOP copy of an album that for some reason only appears to be offered for sale in a totally trashed condition. To make matters even more salivating, this copy here has the always-missing obi present, the whole package is complete and in top shape. Impossible to upgrade upon. This copy is a real clean one, a true rare find for a very rare disc such as this one. Second, final and rarest album by this Philippine sensation that swept through the underbelly of Tokyo in 1968. Of all the GS bands, the Swooners were possibly – according to some trustworthy sources – the best live act to catch in those days. Their recorded output however does not really capture the greased down and filthy psych trash they excreted on stage but still it hints sufficiently at the band’s appeal, ability and craftsmanship. Like so many outfits then, the Swooners repertoire was erected out of mainly cover tunes but they beefed them up with some weird pan-Asiatic feel that transcends words as especially comes to the foreground on such killer renditions like “Sunshine of Your Love”, “Hey Joe”, “You Keep Me Hanging On” and “Can’t Take My Eyes Of You”. The tracks are all beefed up with greasy guitar licks and cheap swirling organ lines, making this sucker a classic in the genre. Truly great album and copies in good condition are just impossible to find. This one comes in eye-blinding TOP shape, is the first original 1968 pressing and is just fantastic. Take no substitutes since there is only one real procurator of the hip GS, being the Swooners, fuzzy-wussy haired Philippine dope heads armed with cheap instruments. Copies in top condition, complete with obi just Don’t surface, take my word for it. Awesome!!
