~ 1968 TOP MINTY CLEAN ORIGINAL ~
HARD ROCKER CLASSIC !!!
FUSE
...USA - (yellow) Epic Records - BN 26502
A BEAUTIFUL MINTY CLEAN ORIGINAL...one of the best copies you'll likely see....
Original 1969 first pressing vinyl...Rick Nielsen (Cheap Trick) plays organ on this fantastic hard rock album....The only album by Fuse, enjoyable late 60's heaviness and quite collectable.
FUSE has an interesting history, being a pre-cursor to Cheap Trick, though it's got nothing in common with them sonically, it's more like early Deep Purple, and also includes members of Nazz. Definitely worth hunting down. "Show Me", "To Your Health" and "Mystery Ship" are good hard rockers with decent vocals from Joe Sundberg and quite heavy for their time, with some brash guitar, bass and organ exemplifying the transition from psychadelia towards hard rock that was happening at that time.
Fuse offers a fascinating glimpse into the musical beginnings of Rick Nielsen and Tom Petersson before superstardom beckoned as members of Cheap Trick, earlier called The Grim Reapers. As Fuse a solitary album was issued prior to guitarist Rick Nielsen and bassist Tom Petersson allying themselves with ex NAZZ members vocalist Robert 'Stewkey' Antoni and drummer Thom Mooney for a revised NAZZ.
Great tunes throughout, and Rick Nielsen mainly plays Keyboards on this, but he does display some early signs of songwriting ability as in Show Me and To Your Health.
The singer was only 17 years old when this was released, what a strong voice for a kid !!!
Overall, FUSE is very good album, played by a bunch of Rockford Illinois kids, and is highly recomended ... Here, a TOP MINTY CLEAN original from 42 years ago...
Across the Skies 4:35 Permanent Resident 4:22 Show Me 4:13 To Your Health 6:00 B: In a Window 5:54 4/4 3/4 3:58 Mystery Ship 3:16 Sad Day 5:49
CONDITION: The cover: beautiful stiff & clean MINT ...one of the best you'll see ...no split seams, no bends, no writing...really really nice...making for a GREAT upgrade over your old cover or awesome first time score...
The vinyl: super clean M- all shiny smooth over both sides with CLEAN 'Epic' Records labels
