JOSEFUS
PETE BAILEY, DAVE MITCHELL, RAY TURNER, DOUG TULL
From Houston, Josefus formed in September 1969, by Doug Tull after he'd been fired from United Gas.
A couple of months later they attracted the attention of record producer Jim Musil, who invited them
to Phoenix in Arizona to record under the name Come. However the deal he was negotiating
with Straight Records did not materialise and the sessions remained unreleased
until the Get Off My Case retrospective, that contains the pre-Dead Man recordings,
plus a lengthier Dead Man, Crazy Man and Situation...(Fuzz Acid & Flowers)

The cult legend surrounding obscure Texan hard rockers Josefus was established almost entirely
by their 1970 album, Dead Man; a self-released rough gem of psychedelic hard rock originally printed
in such limited quantities that even avid collectors were largely unaware that the group had
in fact recorded an earlier, never released version of it tentatively entitled Get Off My Case.
Taking place at the same Phoenix, AZ studios, just four months earlier, on December 17 and 18, 1969,
at a modest cost of $1,500, the Get Off My Case sessions yielded seven tracks, four of which
would eventually find their way, re-recorded, onto the Dead Man LP. Among the three cuts
left out of the return sessions, both the rambling, unfocused "Get Off My Case,"
and the instrumentally inspired, but lyrically fragmented "A Social Song" were, in retrospect,
understandable casualties. But the more elaborate, well-constructed "Feelin' Good" showed great
promise in its sunny So-Cal psych intro and subsequent sub-Sabbath riffs, which could have easily
been fine-tuned for a second attempt, had the band chosen to reprise it...(AllMusic)
