The Nervous Kats Emma S4RM4060 LP 1965 AUTOGRAPHED! Record has a few super super light surface scratches/scuffs but plays and sounds great. Labels are unmarked. Autographed (c2001) Cover has some pressing bubbles on the top right, light creasing and light age browning. Bob Smith was a really nice guy, a great singer and cool guitar player. The photo of the band is not for sale or included. It is for informational interest only. Bob Smith sent this to me in January 2001. The photo is early 60's.
Bailey's Nervous Kats was one of numerous fairly anonymous combos throughout the United States playing hard-charging, basic rock & roll at the tail end of the '50s and the early '60s. Bailey's Nervous Kats, formed in 1957 in the upper part of Northern California, in the vicinity of the small town of Redding.
Bailey's Nervous Kats managed to do a regional tour with the Fendermen and Dorsey Burnette, and went to San Jose for awhile in the early '60s in an attempt to make some headway in the music industry, to little effect. They were still drawing live crowds back in their Shasta County home grounds in 1963, and did some more recording with an all-instrumental EP on Ikon in 1964. In 1965, a limited-edition LP on Emma contained re-recordings of some of their early tracks, but by this juncture their approach had been rendered passé by the British Invasion and other trends. Guitarist/vocalist Bob Smith moved to southern California in the late '60s to form the Sons of the Keystone Cops, described by Alec Palao in the liner notes to Get Nervous! as a "psychedelic bubblegum outfit." ~ Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide
