ILMO SMOKEHOUSE

"ILMO SMOKEHOUSE" ORIGINAL 1969 PRIVATE PRESSING ON 'BEAUTIFUL SOUNDS' LABEL, WHICH WAS A NAME ADOPTED FROM THE RECORDING STUDIO IN MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE, WHERE THE ALBUM WAS RECORDED. BEAUTIFUL SOUNDS LA1200 STEREO, GATEFOLD 1st PRESS. THE PRESS RUN WAS MOST LIKELY 500 COPIES OR LESS.

THIS COPY WAS SIGNED BY 3 MEMBERS OF ILMO SMOKEHOUSE IN 1990 AT 'ROLLIN' ON THE RIVER' IN KEOKUK, IOWA, WHEN SLINK RAND, CRAIG MOORE & DENNIS TIEKEN REUNITED FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE A FEW SHOWS IN 1980. AT THAT SAME 1990 SHOW WAS THE FIRST-EVER REUNION OF ANOTHER KEOKUK AREA BAND, GONN. BASSIST CRAIG MOORE & ORGANIST GERRY GABEL FROM GONN WERE 2 OF THE 5 FOUNDING MEMBERS OF ILMO SMOKEHOUSE, WHICH EVOLVED FROM FREDDIE TIEKEN & THE ROCKERS, AN AREA LEGEND SINCE THE LATE 50'S.  NOTE: ON THE INSIDE GATEFOLD THERE IS A DEDICATION TO VARIOUS PEOPLE IN THE ILMO SMOKEHOUSE "FAMILY", AMONG THEM A CHARACTER NICKNAMED 'FISH HEAD' - HE WAS AT THE 1990 SHOW AND ALSO SIGNED THE BACK OF THE ALBUM ON THE PICTURE OF JIM JOHNSON, ENGINEER, ON THE SLEEVE OF HIS SHIRT.

THIS ALBUM WAS RECORDED IN MEMPHIS IN LATE 1969, ENGINEERED & MIXED BY JIM JOHNSON AND DAN PENN OVER ONE 32 HOUR SESSION, AND ISSUED AS YOU SEE IT HERE IN EARLY 1970. ROULETTE RECORDS PICKED THE ALBUM UP, REMIXED IT AND REMASTERED IT, AND ISSUED IT ON ROULETTE IN OCTOBER OF 1971. BILLBOARD MAGAZINE GAVE THE ROULETTE RELEASE A 'SPOTLIGHT PICK' THE WEEK IT CAME OUT. ROULETTE KEPT THE ARTWORK INTACT AND RETAINED THE TRACK SEQUENCE, BUT DID NOT INCLUDE THE POSTER THAT INITIALLY CAME WITH THE FIRST PRESSING. OTHER THAN A UNIQUE VERSION OF "JOHNNY B. GOOD", THE ALBUM IS ENTIRELY ORIGINAL MATERIAL.

THE BAND UNIVERSALLY HATED IT, SINCE IT BEARS LITTLE RESEMBLANCE TO THEIR HIGH OCTANE LIVE SHOWS, BUT OVER THE YEARS IT HAS BECOME A CLASSIC OF EARLY PROGRESSIVE/ROCK-BLUES-JAZZ FUSION. RELATIVELY TRIPPY, FIRE UP THE LAVA LAMP AND ROLL AOTHER ONE...........
