CD Universe says of Boston Tea Party:
The California psych band the Boston Tea Party released this self-titled album in 1968. Their particular brand of sunshine pop can be heard on the songs "I'm Telling You" and "Fantasy," among others.
A lost classic and a true collector's wet dream, the 1968 album from California's 6 piece Boston Tea Party mixes Beatlesque pop with sunshine harmonies to produce one of the best of it's kind.
From Akashaman & Bad Cat Records on The Boston Tea Party:
In spite of the name, these guys were from Burbank, California. Originally formed in 1963, they started out as a surf outfit, but by the mid-'60s had decided to follow popular trends, reinventing themselves as a psych band.
Featuring a lineup of brothers Mike (keyboards) and Richard (bass) DePerna, singer Travis Fields, drummer David Novogroski and guitarist Mike Stevens, the group debuted with the 1967 single "Words" b/w "Spinach". Originally released by the small Big Boss label, the single was promptly reissued by Gene Autry's Challenge Records. A pair of follow-ups also did little ("Is It Love?" b/w "Don't Leave Me Alone" and "Free Service" b/w "Rose In the Night").
The first released by the MGM affiliated Flick Disc label, 1968 saw the quintet debut with their first LP - the cleverly-titled "The Boston Tea Party". Co-produced by Jerry Styler and Dave Brooks, original material such as "I'm Telling You", "Straighten Up and Fly Right" and "We Have Already Died" wasn't half bad. Largely penned by Stevens, the results were keyboard-driven rockers that reflected a distinctive psych edge. Fields proved a surprisingly strong voice, capable of salvaging even some of the lamer numbers ("I Found a Way"). Elsewhere the album was worth hearing just for some of the year's lamest guitar solos (check out Stevens' performance on "I'm Telling You"). Among the few complaints, Mike DePerna's stabbing organ (he occasionally sounded as if he were playing a different song from the rest of the band ("Fantasy").
The band survived long enough to undertake a cameo performance in the American International "B" flick Cycle Savages (a couple of their songs were included in the soundtrack), and they were history.
Novogroski reappeared as a late inning member of The American Revolution, before joining The Edge. Stevens formed Highway Robbery.
LP is NEW AND SEALED.
