Fear Itself - s/t, 1969 Dot DLP 25942 gatefold
This is an original copy of the scarce Dot label album from 1969 of fuzz-blues-acid-psych-rock by Fear Itself.
VINYL: NM COVER: NM- (two small punches through bottom left corner)

'The album was originally released in 1969 by Dot Records but didn't receive too much attention -- maybe it appeared as a 'too' freaked out heavy version of Jefferson Airplane or Big Brother & The Holding Co. The group started back in Atlanta Georgia in 1967 as a quartet with two guitars and played true psychedelic sound, recorded at the Record Plant in NYC, and moved to Woodstock (NY). The 10 album tracks contain two arrangements of traditional tunes all others are originals reflecting true electric heavy blues with a strong Hendrix feel, duelling guitar work and an outstanding female voice/vocals/screams... lots of intense stereo effects. This release is issued with stunning sound quality from the masters. For all '60s collectors who are not familiar with this masterpiece -- it's a must -- there are not many groups that were able to present the freewheelin' live on stage feeling on their studio album!'

'A late sixties San Francisco outfit, whose album is full of fuzz-blues material sounding rather like a psychedelic Groundhogs. Its more psychedelic tracks included Underground River and For Suki. Only two covers are present, a bluesy version of The Letter and Born Under A Bad Sign, both were chosen for their 45. The album is now a very minor collectors' item and was produced by Tom Wilson.' - Fuzz, Acid And Flowers
