GARY WALKER & THE RAIN - Album Nº 1
ALC0052
Sello: Audio Clarity
LP
The Walker Brothers, teen scream material to rival the Beatles in '66, split in '67. Both Scott and John had taken lead vocal duty, but drummer Gary hadn't sung a note, nor written anything. He decided to put a tough new group together that could rival the forward-looking, chart-busting acts of '67, and he'd call them the Rain. Their sole album, only issued in Japan, is a psych-pop gem. A highlight is the crunching 'Magazine Woman', like a pumped-up 'Revolver' outtake, with buzzing guitars and phased effects obtained by producer fritz fryer when he jammed screwdrivers into parts of the 8-track desk.
