1968 RARE & SOUGHT ORIGINAL PSYCHEDELIC ROCK "MONSTER"
THE LITTER
$100 FINE
USA - HEXAGON RECORDS - HS 681 (S)
RARE and highly sought 1968 ORIGINAL first printing ...the word is, the RAREST Littler album, with only 2000 originals made and most are long gone, trashed or in private collections, nowhere to be had...
The jams on $100 Fine are top rate, led by lead guitarist Tom "Zippy" Caplan, guitarist Dan Rinaldi, and oragnist/lead vocalist Denny Waite. The opening track, "Mindbreaker," offers superb fuzztone guitar work, and builds up to an interesting & cool psychedelic haze. Their take on "Tallyman" shows off Rinaldi and Caplan's superb driving electric guitar work, while that of "Here I Go Again" also offers a glorious opening guitar riff (assumedly by Caplan) to add to the great guitar work.. "Morning Sun" continues the trend, showing off excellent psychedelic guitar work. "Confessions (Of a Traveler Through Time,") a live offering that was to be used in a film, has an infectious opening bass riff from Jim Kane, while Rinaldi and Caplan (yet again) dominate with their guitar prowice on "(Under the Screaming Double) Eagle." Side one ends on the very psychedelic and nonsensical "Apologies to 2069."
Side 2 is dominated by their wonderful cover of the Zombies' classic "She's Not There," a common staple in their live shows. This 9+ minute workout on it is a glorious moment for the band, as is the amazing "Kaleidoscope," noted for its use of phasing (an effect still in its infancy during this period). The track was groundbreaking and was slated to be released as a single, but before it could be, the Small Faces had released their classic "Itchycoo Park," which had very similar phasing effects. Alas, "Kaleidoscope" did not see the light of day.
The second album by The LITTER features an amazing look at a band at the height of its creative and musical powers. "$100 Fine" is as great an effort from 1967-1968 as many of the other lps of the era. The guitar prowice of Caplan and Rinaldi is as good a double-barrel attack as any in the 60's while Waite's powerful vocals are superb. The bass of Kane and drumming of Tom Murray is as good as it gets, as well- very tight. The results are a glorious Lp.
