Blues Magoos - Psychedelic Lollipop / Electric Comic Book (1999) - Twoffer

Many people still considers The Blues Magoos a singles band, a psych combo for teenagers. Their songs were very catchy and the titles of the albums ("Lollipop" "Comic Book") didn't suggest cosmic trips to the masses of hippies and neo-contraculture boys but they were a brilliant band, raw & energic, more garage than psych itself, and their sound pre-dated punk in many ways. Both albums in this collection are full of great tracks, originals and covers; only for citing 2 obvious examples, Ain't Got Nothin' Yet is an inmortal classic and their rendition of Tobacco Road is awesome with an incisive beat and killer instrumental bridge that showed the great players Blues Magoos were.
