RARE ~ 1966 MONO first pressing ~ L.A. FOLKROCK BYRDS CLASSIC
THE GRASSROOTS
...USA - Dunhill - D 50011 - MONOAURAL
Rarest and highly sought very first album by the Grassroots ,,, the Original 1966 VINYL first pressing in glorious MONO... the (rare) monuaral release offers different song mixes from the stereo release and as well contains a bold punch in the mono sound production...
Well known price guides have this album valued for $$$ three figures and suppose that may be because the album was produced in low end numbers in a one run production in 1966 due to the fact that these original Grassroots who perform on this album broke up just after the album was released. In 1966 the happening club circut of LA's Sunset Strip was coming together. These Grassroots were one of the early cool bands there along with the likes of The Byrds, The Stone Poneys, The Leaves, The Seeds, Love, and others, playing a brand of reverb electric guitars led melodic song structures not that unike the Byrds and 1st Lp era Turtles(before pop-stardom). The Grassroots had a minor masterpiece hit in "Where Were You When I Needed You" included on this album and much of the album is in the same vein with highlights up and down each side, including the infectious "Lollipop Train", "Only When You're Lonely", "Look Out Girl" as well as a great take on Dylans's "Mr Jones (Ballad Of A Thin Man). The album grows very strong with repeat plays. Indeed, this first album is a matter of much confusion; apparently these original Grass Roots were pretty much a front for the songwriting team of P.F. Sloan and Steve Barri, who owned the rights to the band and their name and who even performed on much of the album. It was this case that they were able to re-assemble a completely new band when the original members quit due to the (pop) direction the songwriting team was pushing on the band. In any case, this is decent, and top of the line for 1966 includes a strong early version of "You Baby," which was a hit for the Turtles.
Only When You're Lonely Look Out Girl Ain;t That Loving You Baby I've Got No More To Say I am A Rock Lollipop Train (YOU Never Had It So Good) B: Whrere Were You When I Needed YOu You Didn't Have To Be So Nice Tell Me (Rolling Stones) You Baby This Is What I WAs Made For Mr Jones (Ballad Of A Thin Man)
