Description:

Sgt. Pepper taught a lot of bands to play in 1967, including New Yorkâ??s Paper Garden, whose absorption of the Fab Fourâ??s Summer of Love statement came out on Musicor Records the following year. What Paper Garden canâ??t match in terms of the Beatles sophistication they make up for in ambition, as exhibited on the harpsichord-enhanced pop genius of â??Ladyâ??s Man, orchestrated gems like â??Way Up High, the fuzz-pop-psych of I Hide, and Eastern grooves on Man Do You and Raining. With influences of the early Bee Gees and Brill Building pop also shading the proceedings, the albumâ??s kaleidoscopic essence permeates every note right down to the ultra-cool color-burst cover likely drawn under a pseudonym by Australian artist Martin Sharp of Disraeli Gears fame. That brilliant art can be viewed again in its full-size glory on this beautiful RTI vinyl edition, mastered from the original Musicor reels by Bob Irwin. -

Mixing ferocious fuzz guitar and bold keyboard work with gentle violins and trombones, this NY band made their own Sgt. Pepper's in '68 but zero promotional muscle doomed it to cult fame only. You'll move from warm sunshine pop to searing psych-rock; includes Gypsy Wine; Mr. Mortimer; Way Up High; I Hide, and more!
