Rare Bohemian Vendetta LP - Canadian Pressing Original Mainstream ’68 Acid Psych
Rare Canadian pressing of Bohemian Vendetta 1968 LP.Record in EX condition, cover VG+. Cover has slight ring wear and a ripple on the back/cover opening. Heavy cardboard, strong seams, slight front right top corner wear.
Interest in this has surged recently and quite rightly too, as this is one of the best acid-punk LPs ever. Clearly inspired by "Electric Comic book"-era Blues Magoos, these Long Island kids definitely had a problem with both drugs and their attitude! Their originals are excellent Vox organ/fuzz teen garage psych and the covers pretty demented as well. The cough syrup high school play vibe of "Deaf, Dumb & Blind" must be heard to be believed. Not a perfect album, but the highs are higher than on almost any other LP of this kind. Possibly the best on the label, at least if you prefer the 60s teen-garage approach over hippie longhairs. A Canadian pressing exists. [PL]
***
Easily one of the best on the label with lots of classy psych punk originals and a truly unique vibe all through it. These guys must've been left pretty much on their own in the studio, probably accompanied by large amounts of weed and cheap beer! You can almost hear the degeneration taking place, from the almost straight punky performance of "Riddles & Fairytales" to the utterly demented "Satisfaction". They even manage to re-write "Gloria" into "(She Always Gives Me) Pleasure" and give it way dirtier lyrics. The whole album must be heard to be believed - a truly unique LP, especially for a major label! One of the few genuine US garage/acid punk LP's from the 60's no doubt. The pre-LP 45 ("Enough" / "Half The Time" on United Artists) is also an essential killer. [MM]
