Here´s a real surprise, the first legitimate Re-Issue of this mega rare Californian psychedelic monster."


Turns out that JUNGLE where old Faves of us: Three Members of legendary California GARAGE PUNKERS the KNIGHT RIDERS (of "I" Fame) went on to play in Jungle. If you know the music of Jungle and ever wondered why the Album has powerful, emotional soulful vocals which may only can be compared to LOVE in moments ..here is why: The Knight Riders where one of the few racially integrated Garage bands and singer Butch went on to be one of the two lead singers in Jungle.

The album is with the exception of 2 songs rather dark, which can be traced back some of the personal autobiographical hardships endured by the members. And if it was forshadowing the way the Jungle album was made, almost got a majorlabel deal and yet didn't is a story that could fill books, yet so sad some of it is to tough to print to this day.

This is one of the best and most sought after psychedelic gems ever recorded, with amazing and fluid heavy fuzz guitars, superb organ, drums and fantastic songwriting.
Recorded in New York in 1969 while the band was living in a farm in Vermont.
The original was pressed in a run of 50 demo copy´s only! No names or hints are given on the original LP but after over a decade of excrutiating search, Miguel Rodriguez, the man behind finding DARIUS, GARRETT LUND, STONEWALL and many more, finally found the band members! So here is your chance to listen to one of the great mystical Albums of the Psychedelic Private Press Collectors realm at the fraction of the cost of the original, in AMAZING sound. "
