Pretty (6) – Mustache In Your Face

For pure balls out fuzz guitar playin' to awesome leads this is Smokin'!

I saw this record at the Numero Group pop up here in Minneapolis. I had no idea what it even was so I passed it up. Then I hear it on Tidal out of curiosity..WOAH. Dammit I wish I bought this while it was in my hands! Good stuff! Will buy.

Recorded in an actual cave in western Missouri, the quartet formerly known as the Fabulous Four emerged from the depths in 1969 with an album’s worth of wasted psychedelia. Helmed by the Electric Prunes’ Michael Quint, the session produced one promo-only 45, bearing the truly un-pretty Squeakie label—a madman’s face in red-on-white, howling out of the spindle hole. The songs blend backwards guitar lines, Flamenco runs, triple-tracked vocals, heavy distortion, handclaps, key vamps, a Stones rip, and extremely absurd lyrical content. “Mustache In Your Face” and its flip have been paired with two other magical numbers and stuffed into a cherry gatefold sleeve.
