Still in original factory shrink wrapper...

Original 1968 first pressing of an interesting, obscure, bluesy-psych & rock outfit ... here is their story:

WOODY'S TRUCKSTOP were in their peak days, a Psychedelic Blues Band from Philadelphia in the sixties. Todd Rundgren was an early member of this group, but he does not appear on this album. The album contains some good psych flavored semi-hard rock, with West Coast stylings, and mixed with some softer, blues-ier material.   It's the 1960s, and starry-eyed kids in tie-dye and love beads, bell bottoms and paisley, are flocking to the Second Fret, the Second of Autumn, the Artist's Hut, Town Hall, the Trauma, the Electric Factory, the be-ins, the love-ins. A scraggly troop of guitar-rending, mind-bending rock bands fills these Philadelphia clubs and halls, but the psychedelicized blues of Woody's Truck Stop fills them the most. "They were the kings of the hill at the time," remembers Bill Eib, who manages rockers Pretty Poison and Robert Hazard nowadays, and who was involved in the local music biz back then, too. "They were one of the big bands on the scene, definitely," says WYSP-FM DJ Ed Sciaky, who rattles off some of the others, too: American Dream, Elizabeth, Mandrake Memorial, Edison Electric.   Woody's Truck Stop was also the first rock band out of the area in that era to get signed to a major label. Never mind that by the time the group got around to recording its LP Woody's Truck Stop for Smash/Mercury, guitarist Todd Rundgren had left to form Nazz and bassist Larry Gold had bowed out to start Good News, a classical-folk duo, with Michael Bacon, actor Kevin's older brother.   And never mind that by the time its 1968 album came out, Woody's Truck Stop had changed their overall sound with mild hardrock/psych instead of the renditions of Motown hits & blues rockers that had blown away audiences with searing James Cotton and Buddy Guy covers, and its own thumping Day-Glo anthem, "Color Scheme" ("Girl let me into your color scheme"). This is a group whose last lead vocalist was someone named Indian Debbie. A group that went through drummers the way drummers go through drumsticks. "We essentially had drummers who were psychopathic or who couldn't keep time," jokes (sort of) Alan Miller, 42, the Truck Stop's deadpan co-founder and guitarist.
