SPOOKY TOOTH 'IT'S ALL ABOUT '68 1ST PRESS PINK ISLAND
Debut, 1968 LP from British blues-rockers Spooky Tooth. Similar tone to Traffic with its psychedelic take on the influential pop and soul music of the '60s. A few cover tunes including Janis Ian's "Society's Child" and the Nashville Teens' "Tobacco Road" are included, but original songs like the soulful ballad "It Hurts You So" and "Bubbles" (with its Beach Boys sensibility) are the real standouts. The cheery, psychedelic "It's All About a Roundabout" is the catchiest number by far. On this dreamy cut, vocalist/keyboardist Gary Wright demonstrates some sharp melodic and compositional instincts. Although Spooky Tooth eventually became better-known for their straightforward blues-rock, the trippy pop of It's All About counts as a career highlight for the group.
Sleeve is Ex, vinyl has light marks but plays well with little evidence of background noise apart from quiet lead in to first tracks. I’m grading it as VG+ though it’s a very good, VG+. Buyer will not be disappointed at that grade.
