RARE 1966 White Label PROMOTIONAL VINYL "MONO"
THE CRYAN' SHAMES
Sugar & Spice
...USA - Columbia 360 Sound WHITE LABEL PROMO - CL 2589 - MONO
Very rare (( mono )) and very nice collectible in this advance release white label promotional 1966 first pressing...in clean condition, making for a beautiful addition to one's music library.
The monaural release provides for a a deep bold bass punch in the sound production, unlike the stereo copy with has speaker separation but more of a thin trebel sound.
The CRYAN' SHAMES were envied by a lot of other Chicago bands for their great harmony and instrumental work -- their biggest national hit was a "Sugar and Spice". The band soon became very popular, and had great publicity for having Jim Pilstner in the band. Jim was born without a left hand so he wore a pirate hook in replacement of his hand and Jim became a fan favorite.
Self penned original tunes "We'll Meet Again" and "She Don't Care About Time" are played just like The Byrds, and the band's entire approach is Byrdsian: guitarist Jim Fairs does a good McGuinn impersonation on 12-string, and the group has Byrds styled harmonies down. The Cryan' Shames do other styles including - The Beatles ("If I Needed Someone"), and cool garage rockers like, The Leaves ("Hey Joe"), and The Animals (an odd version "We Got to Get Out of This Place"). Lead guitarist Jim Fairs pens four original tracks. At best, his work is pretty good ("I Wanna Meet You", "We Could Be Happy"), but "Ben Franklin's Almanac" is a small step beyond their Byrds styles. It's still quite Byrdsian, but more rocking, as the rhythm guitar plugs away at a Bo Diddly beat, and Fairs allots himself a nice solo spot. One of the best tracks is the beautiful, Byrdsian "July."
There is nothing overly unique about the band, other than the guy who played tambourine with a hook (Jim Pilster aka J.C. Hooke) for a hand. The rest of the band is Dennis Conroy (drums), Tom Doody (lead vocals), Dave Purple (bass), and Gerry Stone (guitar).
The Cryan' Shames have never gotten the attention they deserve. A sharp garage, folk-rock band out of Chicago, they released three joyous albums (Sugar and Spice, A Scratch in the Sky, and Synthesis) during their peak years of 1966-1969, before disbanding as the 1970s began. Obviously fans of the Beatles and the Byrds, but with a West Coast sunshine pop side. The Cryan' Shames merged bright garage rockers with baroque,psychedelia laced arrangements, and had their albums, "Sugar & Spice" and "A Scratch in the Sky, been better marketed, their future may well have been very different.
