180 gram; Stll Sealed; Good brooding psych-punk with melancholy bite and melodic variety. The Lollipop Shoppe was originally known as The Weeds and featured Fred Cole, now of Dead Moon. After The Weeds signed to UNI Records (a now-defunct subsidiary of MCA), their new manager, "Lord" Tim Hudson, insisted they change their name to The Lollipop Shoppe to fit in with the current trend of bubblegum music. The band's actual recordings, including the 1968 LP Just Colour, are hardly bubblegum, but instead a mix of garage rock and psychedelia. The album and its single, "You Might Be a Witch," are regarded as period classics and still prized by collectors, though neither made the charts. The band opened for stars such as Janis Joplin and The Doors, and appeared in the biker movie Angels from Hell. The album has been bootlegged; the Music Maniac label has announced a reissue but it has not appeared. The Lollipop Shoppe released one more single, "Someone I Knew" b/w "Through My Window, before breaking up in 1969. They reunited as The Weeds for a 1971 single. 12 Tracks: You Must Be a Witch, Underground Railroad, Baby, Don?t Go, Who?ll Read the Will, It?s Only a Reflection, Don?t Look Back, Don?t Close the Door on Me, It Ain?t How Long, It?s Makin? It, I'm Gonna Be There, You Don?t Give Me No More, Sin. Folge Hurricane Recordss Pinnwand ?Progressive Rock? auf Pinterest. Folge Hurricane Recordss Pinnwand ?Vinyl? auf Pinterest.
