HOBOKEN SATURDAY NIGHT
\ USA - ATCO RECORDS - SD 33 313
BEAUTIFUL MINTY CLEAN....ORIGINAL 1970 first pressing in clean condition...sought collectible of thee UNDERGROUND sound.... sung supremely by Nancy Jeffries, whom adds that special spark to the whole affair...
Late 60's and early 70's pure underground band was called "The Insect Trust." Its most famous member was the noted writer, critic, and ethnomusicologist Robert Palmer. Two albums, Insect Trust (Capitol, 1968), and Hoboken Saturday Night (ATCO, 1970), were produced. The music ranges from surreal folk-rock, to underground rock/psych to flat-out free jazz. It is the latter style which is adopted on a song called "The Eyes of a New York Woman," sung by Nancy Jefferies and accompanied by a haunting descant recorder solo played in a true virtuoso style. The song's composers are listed as Jeff Ogden and Thomas Pynchon, and the lyrics are taken verbatim from V., where they are sung by Benny Profane as he, Angel, and Geronimo are trying to pick up some girls. When he sings his despairing song, all the girls can say is: "It doesn't have any beat". Fortunately, "The Insect Trust" version has a great beat. The whole piece is moody and lazy, just like a hot Hoboken Saturday night, and you are lost, perhaps, in the streets with the Whole Sick Crew, where "The eyes of a New York woman/ Are the twilit side of the moon."
They were often compared to San Fransisco bands such as the pioneering Jefferson Airplane, although this comparison really doesn’t do them justice. Hoboken Saturday Night, the band’s second effort usually gets the nod, or at least the most attention. Though it must be mentioned that most fans forget about their startling, groundbreaking first album.
Anyone who wonders what the hippie '60s were like--or could be like, with the arrant nonsense and obsessive back-biting avoided or suppressed--can find out from this true collective. Not the Beatles or the Stones--they were different, bigger and often better, mass culture. Hoboken Saturday Night -- the later and smaller and more pastoral and perfect album is more a the real hippie sixties...let it blow baby blow... hippie heads untouched by self-righteous sentimentality.
