Sleepy John - Selftitled [Rockadelic RR 31]




Sleepy John - ST 1970 US
Ripped from Gear Fab GF205 CD (w/ 7 bonus tracks) 2004
The Washington State psych band's total recorded output of music between 1969-1970. Heavy swirling organ coupled with fuzzed out guitars!! Off the master tapes. Over 70 minutes in all. These guys played with the likes of Stone Garden and The Bards!!
SLEEPY JOHN (ID)
"Sleepy John" 1999 (Rockadelic 38) [600p]
Haven't heard much buzz on this but clearly a worthwhile addition to the Rockadelic roster; crude early 1970s local NW basement hardrock with intense Hammond and fuzz excursions and a truly frantic drummer. Somewhat similar (though inferior) to neighbors Stone Garden but less Bay Area-influenced, delivering a dense wall of lo-fi blowouts plus some melodic/proggy ambitions on a track like "Seasons". Consistent, with agreeable songwriting, lots of riff hooks and clever breaks and an idiosynchratic vocalist a bonus. Should appeal to fans of Brigade. Gatefold cover with band story and pics. [PL]
