Editorial Reviews

2010 release from the British Garage/Alt-Rock trio (none of whom is named Len Price). Tightly wound and stripped to the bone, The Len Price 3 have consistently delivered an abundance of three-minute thrills, overflowing with frenetic energy and indelible hooks. By turns gritty and punchy, their delivery is sweetened by impossible to forget melodies, Beatlesque harmonies and their innovative spirit of The Who, The Creation, and The Kinks at their peak. Wicked Cool Chairman Stevie Van Zandt calls Pictures ''the band's best album yet'', and that's saying a lot. The title track demonstrates why people compare the band favorably to the early Who.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent follow-up to Rentacrowd, January 22, 2010

Can't say enough good things about the album; the same fun, early Who/Kinks sound is here but better than ever. This album is also in stereo, unlike most if not all the tracks on LP3's previous albums to boot.

As an added bonus, if you buy the LP you also get the CD included in the LP slip case (common practice for Wicked Cool Records). The CD also includes 3 bonus tracks not available in the regular CD release (nor are they on the LP). This isn't in the Amazon product description (as of 1/22/2010).

The Len Price 3 was one of the best contemporary acts that Little Steven played in his Underground Garage in the old decade, and this album is proof that the group has no intention of slowing down in the new decade. Thirteen more awesome Sixties-style garage rock songs are here, and this album is just as good as the group's first two efforts, Chinese Burn and Rent a Crowd. Fans of the genre, and especially fans of The Who, will love it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Maximum R&B for the Millenium, April 16, 2011

I found out about this group from Little Steven. Heard Rentacrowd and immediately purchased all three of their discs. Hard put to pick a fave from Chinese Burn, Rentacrowd, or this one, Pictures. Heavy on the early Who, Kinks, Small Faces, Creation, the Move - circa earliest British Invasion, before rock operas, concept albums or psychedelia. Len Price 3 are not a nostalgic hommage to aforesaid. They sound like they could've been playing on the same bill in 1965 - not as imitators but as peers. Working the same side of the road as the Jam and other Mod revivalists but with more abandon, sans an auteur like Paul Weller. Len Price 3 channel the influences through their guitars and especially walloping drumming reminiscent of Keith Moon. Not quite as raw as true garage band; this is power trio stomping. Buy all three discs, crank it up loud, drive around this summer with the windows rolled down. Great rock & roll doesn't need more than 3 minutes to get the job done. Maximum R&B for the 21st century.
