LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

So...a group who come up in every rock book....associates of Curt Boettcher, The Millennium, Ricky Nelson, The Buffalo Springfield and many more... .remembered as the most popular live band at the Troubadour in it's heyday....garage legends....and containing future Eagles and Stone Canyon band members to boot Most music fans have heard of them....and hardly anyone has ever heard them? Well, it's just another twist in the strange story of Colorado's finest...THE POOR Coming to LA in 1967 in search of fame, Colorado Garage legends The Soul Survivors soon found themselves obliged to take a...er...more appropriate name....ie The Poor....because despite sold out acclaimed shows around town, they were! Odd jobs playing demo sessions for legendary producers Curt Boettcher and Jim Bell, via the good offices of their long-time friend Joey Stec, kept them going, along with a gig selling the LA Free Press...their recording history of albeit excellent one-off singles for a bewildering variety of mostly long lost labels has made a reappraisal of their work all but impossible until now When, with painstaking detective work, a whole slew of pre-production demos was located under people's beds, in attics, in the dusty boxes of the Curt Boettcher estate, studio cupboards, Colorado local radio stations....recordings every bit as good, and in some cases better, than their seemingly completely inaccessible released recordings.... from acetates, radio station tape copies, and publisher's dubs, all cleaned up absolutely as good as new, Revola brings you...the alternative Poor...possibly the only one we'll ever get! This amazing and legendary Poor album....featuring future Eagle Randy Meisner, Ballroom and Sagittarius arranger Jim Bell, future Stone Canyon Band members Pat Shanahan and Allen Kemp, Curt Boettcher co-writer Randy Naylor, and Colorado surf/punk master Veder Van Dorn....contains alternate recordings of their classic psych-pop/folk rock repertoire, including some songs never before released. Also included are extensive liner notes with involvement from band members This release has never before been available on CD or LP anywhere, anytime! Therefore a must for fans and collectors of the whole extended Millennium family of bands, The Eagles, folk-rock, garage, country-rock and just plain classic 1960's pop!
