Bass – Jay LeeDrums – Whip LaneVocals, Guitar(lead) – Gary PaulakVocals,
Guitar(rhythm) – Barry Thomas GoldbergVocals, Percussion – Arne Fogel***The
Batch – Wait'Til TomorrowLabel: Anazitisi Records Format: Vinyl, LP,
Album, Limited Edition, Orange Country: Greece
Limited to 100 copies colored -orange- vinyl edition. 4-pages insert with
lyrics/credits and pics + poster.
Remastered and restored from the original, home-recorded 2-track master
tapes.
The Minnesota music scene of the 60’s was an exciting and vibrant time.
The Trashmen had had a #1 hit with “Surfin’Bird” and SOMA Records also had
several records making the Top Ten national charts. There were other bands
like The Underbeats and The Accents that although not reaching the national
charts, had regional hits supported by local Twin Cities’ radio stations
WDGY and KDWB.It was in this nurturing atmosphere that the beginnings of
The Batch were born.Barry Thomas Goldberg and Gary Paulak started their
first band, “The Shambles”, as teenagers in 1966. That year they had their
first recording session at the legendary Dove Studios in Bloomington,
Minnesota. Peter Steinberg (“Flight Reaction”, Calico Wall) and Dale
Menten (“Run, Run, Run”, The Gestures), of Candy Floss Productions, were
very impressed with Goldberg and Paulak’s writing talents and made them
partners in the original writing and producing team of Candy Floss
Productions. Candy Floss had many regional and national releases.
The Batch rose from the ashes of Candy Floss and consisted of Barry Thomas
Goldberg, Gary Paulak, Arne Fogel, Jay Lee and Whip Lane.
The Batch continued recording many hours worth of material in various Twin
Cities’ studios but only released one single, “Golden Sun/Hot Summer
Nights” (Groove Soup, 1972; Unfortunately, only a handful of these 45s
still exist). The Batch called it quits after years of being on the road
touring Mid-America. But these are the raw and vital recordings of a band
at the very moment of finding their freedom and independence. This special
limited vinyl edition contains priceless rarities for collectors of 60’s
and early 70’s Mid-American Rock ‘n’ Roll.
Some months ago, The Batch released 21 previously unreleased songs through
their own HIJ/BECCA label (which we proudly distribute in Europe) in a CD
with the title "Transistor". From all those songs we present now their more
psychedelic efforts, in this 11-track limited vinyl edition.All of the
tracks recorded between 1968 and early 1970 and were home-recordings made
on 2-tracks tape-recorders. All of the included songs have been remastered
and carefuly restored by the original master-tapes (some also have the
original song-length and different mixing) and have a much much better
audible result than the "Transistor" CD.
From the garage-pop tune of "Ha la la" to the mind-blowing
psychedelic "Drifting",from the acid underground sounds of "Wait 'til
tomorrow" to the heavy "Untangle your mind"and from the guitar-pyrotechnics
of "Freedy Coolchick" to the Dead-like "So sad"this BATCH album is a must
for every psychohead and soon it will find its place between the lost US
psychedelic jewels.
From the master tapes and fully licenced by the band. Includes a 4-pages
insert with bio, lyrics and photos and a B/W reproduced poster. High
quality papers were used for the cover and insert. PVC protective
outersleeve.180gr. vinyl as usual.400 black and 100 coloured vinyl edition.
