Over 30 Years Ago ....Long Long gone Limited Edition Analog Pressing, Don't remember this one being around but a short while... was sold out quickly.
The 1973 UK original sells for hundreds of dollars - quickly. Important is this issue being analog as contains the same warm sound as the original and NOT digitized with the cold sterile sound produced in recent reissues (and cd's.)
(1973) ~~~ MOUSE ~~~ "LADY KILLER !"
This quartet, comprising of lead guitarist Ray Russell, drummer Alan Rushton, keyboardist Jeff Watts, and singer Alan Greed released their sole album in 1973.
Russell jokes in the booklet that "attempts to make a single were forgotten about an hour into the first session," but even so the compulsive "Electric Lady," a throbbing rocker or alternately, the bouncy pop-flecked "We Can Make It" both fit that bill. And even if "Going Out Tonight" was a little too quirky for singledom, it was still the perfect set opener on-stage or on record.
Given free rein, however, the band were all to free to explore the byways of their own obsessions. "All the Fallen Teen Angels," for example, is proof positive that you really can put a reggae beat to any kind of music, even synth-driven pop/rock and it certainly is startling. "Asher Besher," in contrast, delves deep into heavy-Black Sabbath territory, "The Happening to Me and You" dips into psychedelia, while "Just Came Back" returns from Delta blues.
But even with all its musical meanderings, this is a more accessible album than Russell lets on, and if only producer John Acock had exerted a bit more control, squashing the occasional over-long intro and more tightly focused the songs, Lady Killer would have made a killing in the charts. As is, it's still a fine set of '70s rock in a supple and subtle experimental mode.
