Editorial Reviews

The Blues Magoos launched their recording career with the LP Psychedelic Lollipop. The equally impressive Electric Comic Book refines the band's mix of rock 'n' roll and day-glo psychedelia. That punchy yet playful approach animates such distinctive numbers as "Pipe Dream," "Rush Hour," "There's a Chance We Can Make It" and "Albert Common Is Dead." Sundazed's new vinyl edition also features a replica of the original comic book that was packaged with the album's original pressings.

This '60s garage-psych nugget is now available on Sundazed as a Limited Edition compact disc (1000 copies only!) and High Definition Vinyl, sourced from the original Mercury-label stereo masters, with the colorful original cover art meticulously reproduced.

In their '60s heyday, the Blues Magoos were one of the first garage-punk bands to achieve mainstream success, and one of the first to embrace psychedelia. Early in their existence, the Bronx-bred quintet's high-energy live sets made them a popular attraction on the Greenwich Village club scene. Once they began making records, they quickly emerged as one of one of the earliest and most inventive exponents of the psychedelic sound. The band's 1966 debut album Psychedelic Lollipop and its 1967 followup Electric Comic Book, are two of that period's most beloved and enduring albums. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Reissue Done Right, March 9, 2005

This reissue of one of my old favorites blows me away. The sound quality is superb, the bonus tracks truly are a bonus (some haven't seen the light of day since originally issued), and the packaging is of a style and quality that can make you stop missing LP album covers. This is a first-rate job all the way and deserves 6 stars. If you enjoy the Blues Magoos, get this. It will make you very happy.

Update Aug 30, 2011: I wrote this review for the reissue CD on Repertoire. Somehow it got transfered over to this new reissue on Sundazed. I have this version as well and it's sound is superior to the Repertoire release. It does not, however, have any extra tracks. I'm glad to have both versions.

The Blues Magoos were a great band that never quite hit the big time. If you are a fan of the 60s and psychedelic rock, this is essential listening.
