1966 MONO original VINYL ~ GARAGE classic!

                          THE COUNT FIVE

                              Psychotic Reaction

...USA - DSM 1001 - mono

Original 1966 MONO first pressiing on the DOUBLE SHOT label of the sixties! Has the big deep punch in the dense monaural sound production!

One of the surprise major hits of 1966 was "Psychotic Reaction" which also sent the impressionable young hipsters of the sixties to their local used-record stores in search of Double Shot DBL-1001. Soon forgotten, the world would not much recall Count Five's Psychotic Reaction; the average casual garage rock fan would be no more likely to search for this album than an album by Nuggets staples like the Remains.

There's the title track, of course, a total Yardbirds-like stormer that turns out to be as great as any of that  band's patented rave-ups, thanks in huge part to Kenn Ellner's brilliantly bratty strangulated whine of a voice. Then there's the mysterious "Pretty Big Mouth," a swamp-rock groove with the most bizarre lyrics on the entire album. And they certainly get major cool points for being hip to the Who in 1966, recording "My Generation" and "Out in the Street" before almost anybody in the U.S. knew who Pete Townshend was. Ellner's vocals and, John "Mouse" Michalski's gnarly fuzz guitar & scratchy rhythms lead the way in this interesting garage rock album, one of San Jose California's top fave bands of '66. Songs like 'Double Decker Bus" and "They're Gonna Get You" are garage rock legends that sound as good as any tunes on any of the Pebbles 60's garge/punk compilations.
