Description
"THE GROWING CONCERN"
2007 Mainstream S/6108 label
The condition of the cover is M- still in the shrink wrap (see photos), no cut-outs, seam splits or writing. The condition of the RED COLOR VINYL disc is also a beautiful, like new M-!
Although virtually nothing is known of the Growing Concern, their only album is an enjoyable piece of West Coast garage psychedelic, somewhere in the Music Emporium vein including a decidedly sunny pop edge veneer over the lively and very 'heady' garagey-psych sounds. The opening track "Hard, Hard Year" is perhaps the best on the album but that's arguable since all tracks are relatively in the same (top quality) bag. The song opens with some melodic guitar work, which is joined first by bass, and second by some excellent keyboards. The song also featured beautiful female vocal harmonies from group members Bonnie MacDonald and Mary Garstki.
This song largely set the style for the remainder of the album. "Edge of Time" features some excellent lead guitar work, as did "Tomorrow Has Been Cancelled" ..."A Boy I Once Knew Well" was a folky lament which again featured fine vocal harmonies, keyboards, and guitar work. The groups version of "Mister You're a Better Man than I" was done in a similar style, and is an interesting take on the Yardbirds original. The group also covered Steve Still's "Sit Down, I Think I Love You", based on the Buffalo Springfield original rather than the more baroque hit version by The Mojo Men. The entire album is characterized by fine male and female vocal harmonies, excellent keyboard playing, and fine guitar leads & rhythm structures. Overall, The Growing Concern album is an outstanding blend of garage-psychedelic sixties at it's finest!
