HUNGER - Strictly From Hunger (Reserve Series)
The latest release in Now-Agains Reserve Series is Hunger -- Strictly From Hunger: the bands preferred version of the album, unedited, fuzz-guitar heavy late 60s psych-rock, restored and remastered from a rare test press. Hunger arrived in L.A. from Portland in late 1967 as the Outcasts, a teenage cover band, but within six months they had signed with a connected manager, played all over Los Angeles, embraced psychedelia and signed on to record an album of original music for the label their manager founded for them: Public! Records. They showed tremendous promise -- and their producers invested heavily into a band that was going to be the next marquee act at the Whiskey A Go-Go, bringing in members of Strawberry Alarm Clock, including future Lynyrd Skynyrd star Ed King, to produce an album. But Hunger broke up before their albums release and their entry in rocks canon was shadowed for years. This is the definitive Reserve Edition reissue of a late 60s psych-rock classic, overseen by Hungers band members John Morton, Steve Hansen and Mike Lane: the bands preferred, unedited, fuzz-guitar heavy version of the album, restored and remastered from a rare test press. This is the first time that bands vision for the album has been issued in full on vinyl. Contains an extensive booklet by Jim Cherry, Eothen Alapatt and Clark Faville that corrects many factual inaccuracies told over the records celebrated past three decades as one of rocks holy grails. The booklet is filled with never-published photos from lead guitarist John Mortons archive. Heres an example of whats in store ? the full version of Open Your Eyes featuring Ed Kings lead guitar lines -- all but absent on the Public! Records issue -- and nearly double the length of the issued version! - Now-Again. Download card for WAV files and bonus tracks -- including the full
