4. Original 1966 MONO first pressing in THICK gateold cover...released only locally in Chicago where The New Colony Six were rightfully Chicago's TOP garage band....
   
   One of the most essential garage Lp's ever, loaded with super catchy original compositions featuring the trademark harmonies, Leslie-fied guitar licks, and hypnotizing combo organ. It was to be the first and by far the best LP New Colony Six ever released...in same level, song wise, as the RISING STORM...
   ..........................................................
   There is NO doubt THIS mid-westerner LP is totally jam packed full of great songs in the classic garage tradition. The New Colony Six was founded by lead vocalist Ray Graffia but included a fine guitarist by the name of Jerry VanKollenburg, organist Wally Kemp, bassist Craig Kemp, vocalist Pat McBride and drummer Chic James.
   
   NEW COLONY SIX took Chicago by storm on their first single "I Confess" (1965) which is included here. It is a tough British Invasion powered sound that reached the #2 position on the WLS Silver Dollar Survey. Confess was only kept from being a #1 local hit by some bullshit "top of the pops" garbage - and notable for the inventive guitar sound created by VanKollenburg feeding his instrument through a Leslie speaker.
   
   Around the time of recording this lp, the band decided to release another killer track from the album in the legendary "At The River’s Edge". Although the killer-rated b-side "I Lie Awake" received airplay, "At The River’s Edge" was really N.C. 6 moment in the sun.

6. An all-time rated menacing garage-punk jewel driven by a frantic pace and wild playing, "At The River’s Edge" was Chicago’s version of Them’s fantastic "Mystic Eyes" single.

8. At this point the New Colony Six were a popular live act throughout Chicago and were known to raise hell on stage. During the summer of 1966 "Breakthrough" was released, and includes 10 songs that are sterling group originals ranging from tough gritty rockers to more moody somber inflections. Besides the superb singles other highlights were the Raiders-like "A Heart Is Made Of Many Things" and the dreamy killer "Don’t You Think It’s Time To Stop You’re Crying" which featured more ace guitar work from VanKollenburg.

10. Another couple songs worth their weight in gold are "I & You" AND "The Time Of The Year Is Sunset."

12. Collectors have long insisted (here too) this album could be a counter part to the Rising Storm’s legendary LP, don't exist without it :))
