SRC - Black Sheep (Lp Version)

Primordial late 60s Detroit rock from SRC -- at the time thought of as the chief rival of the now much more reverently remembered MC5 -- but still a pile-driving juggernaut of 60s stoner rock! This set collects the best of groups album tracks and singles cut for Capitol Records in 1968 and 1969 -- driving, feedback guitar, heavy drums and organ licks -- which like the MC5 was born of adherence to blues and R&B, but steeped mightily in heaving 60s rock -- the murky flipside of the psychedelic scene!
Soon the band's sound became more psychedelic, influenced by the likes of Procol Harum, for whom the band would later open. Their self-titled debut album was released by Capitol Records, and the single "Black Sheep"/"Morning Mood" from this album drew fan and media praise. "Black Sheep", considered a psychedelic masterpiece, was released only in mono for the single, as an abridged version with different guitar sound and notation. The album version, recorded in well-blended as opposed to ping-pong stereo, then still in use by some of the more limited recording studios in 1968, featured a longer mid-section with additional verses.
