Rare and sought after for good reason...here, thee Original 1967 first pressing vinyl on the small Viva Records in glorious MONO .... With the lead off trippy fuzzed guitars-ago-go "Eight Miles High" ~~ 'A Trip Down The Sunset Strip' brings you the happening grooves of the sixties with a tight garage band sound, floods of twangy rehverb & fuzz guitar leads....

Early Jean Jaques (aka J.J.) Cale and a classic slice of underground rock. It doesn't get much better than this... 1967 found producer/record executive Amos "Snuff" Garrett more than willing to cash in on popular music tastes. Interested in marketing an album that joined in on the burgeoning West Coast psych scene, Garrett promptly recruited sessions guitarist Cale and the husband and wife Roger and Terrye Tillison, who as The Gypsy Trips (love the name), had previously recorded the single "Rock 'n' Roll Gypsies" b/w "Ain't It Hard" on the small World Pacific label. Like Cale, Roger was an Oklahoma native. Released on Garrett's newly formed Viva Records, 1967's "A Trip Down the Sunset Strip" was billed as a concept piece - "In this album, we are trying to paint sound pictures of the Strip - the voices you hear above each recording are the actual voices of the Strip's inhabitants. The traffic noises are real - recorded on location. The songs contained in the album are "What's happening" - most of them got their start in the Hollywood area and later became national hits." Nothing like marketing. With Cale producing, there wasn't anything wrong with cool garage jammers of the era such as "Psychotic Reaction", "Over Under Sideways Down" and "Kicks". While the takes were largely rote in nature, Cale and the Tillisons turned in some nice vocal performances. The one exception was Cale's rather ragged vocal performance on The Byrds "Mr. Tambourine Man". Cale also distinguished himself via his guitar work. Among the highlights, were Cale's four original guitar jams. Anyone hearing "Sunset and Clark", "Non-Stop" or "Pot Luck" will instantly know why Eric Clapton subsequently elected to record Cale's "After Midnight". Killer twanged-out and fuzzed-up guitars throughout the album...
