Rare and hard to find 1966 pre-VANILLA FUDGE Lp

                    THE (Electric) PIGEONS

  While The World Was Eating VANILLA FUDGE

 ...USA -  Wand - WDS 687 

ORIGINAL limited pressing vinyl in uni-pac gatefold cover from many (many!) years ago and now a "rare" collectible...just one year before THE VANILLA FUDGE, this wild garage band known as 'The Electric Pigeons' were making a name for themselves up & down the East Coast. Sensing something GOOD was "happening" they signed with with a famous manager (Shangri-las), who was impressed with their act --  and changed their name to Vanilla Fudge ...

Vanilla Fudge was one of the few American links between psychedelia and what soon became heavy rock. While the band did record original material, they were best known for their loud, heavy, slowed-down arrangements of contemporary pop songs, blowing them up to epic proportions and bathing them in a trippy, distorted haze. Originally, Vanilla Fudge was a blue-eyed soul cover band called the Electric Pigeons, who formed on Long Island, NY, in 1965. Organist Mark Stein, bassist Tim Bogert, and drummer Joey Brennan soon shortened their name to the Pigeons and added guitarist Vince Martell. They built a following by gigging extensively up and down the East Coast. In early 1966, the group recorded a set of eight demos that were released several years later as While the Whole World Was Eating Vanilla Fudge, credited to Mark Stein the Pigeons.

Inspired by the Vagrants, another band on the club circuit led by future Mountain guitarist Leslie West, the Pigeons began to put more effort into reimagining the arrangements of their cover songs. They got so elaborate that by the end of the year, drummer Brennan was replaced by the more technically skilled Carmine Appice. In early 1967 they caught the ear of George Shadow Morton and history unfolded with THE VANILLA FUDGE.

Here are the raw inspired pre-Vanilla Fudge demos recorded by THE PIGEONS in 1966 ...secure this rarity and listen....you'll be glad you did!
