Original 1970 first pressing on small local label featuring a big sound hard rocker with psychedelic tendencies, the drive of CREAM and amazing creativity...this album indeed is an utter urgent example of US-bluesrock/psych heaviness. 
  Pugsley Munion started in mid 1969 under the guise 'Mask,' the members - organ/vocalist/main songwriter John Schuller, guitarist Ducky Belliveau, and drummer Ed Kelly - came together as a vehicle for their own original material, after years playing in high school cover bands. A homemade demo they made that year found its way to J&S Records, a small R&B label in New York City that had gone a couple years without a hit. The label put up some cash to cover recording costs and brought the band to the city to record an official demo tape, also signing them to a single album deal. Shortly after the demo was recorded, the label discovered the 'Mask' name had already been registered to another band, and the members started to consider new names. They took 'Pugsley' from a street sign outside New York, while 'Munion' was the name of a local cop who gave the band's road crew dirty looks following a gig in a local donut shop. They put the two words together originally as a joke name to use for a single gig, but the name stuck. In mid 1970, Pugsley Munion began the two days of recording at Bell Sound Studios in New York City they had booked for their first album. Live, they played as an organ/bass pedal, guitar, and drum trio, but they decided to use bass guitar in the studio to get a better sound. As they laid down the tracks, the band experimented with different bass parts with the intention of going back in during a later session to complete or replace them. Rough mixes were prepared of the songs after the two days, and trio assumed they would go back into the studio to overdub the bass tracks and polish up the vocals. To their surprise, however, the record company released the album in its unfinished form, without the original artwork selected by the band and with incorrect liner notes. The title of the album had been altered as well to Just Like You, after the song released as the first single. Pugsley Munion tried unsuccessfully to stop the album's release. In spite of the record label's disingenuous treatment of the band, the album did get some airplay, but shortly after its release, Schuller was drafted, bringing a halt to the project. His stint in the Navy was short, however, for medical reasons, and he rejoined the band, which had added a bass player and a vocalist in his absence. They played throughout the next couple years in local clubs and developed a solid following but never again recorded as a unit, although each member went on to experience success as studio players. the overall results were surprisingly good. The album was even more impressive when you consider J&S rush-released the set without the band's approval. Not only was the original artwork "lost", but the collection was given a new title (the planned album title was "Three In One"), and at least some of the final tracks reflected little more than raw studio demos the band had planned to flesh out at a later date. Writing separately and in collaboration, Belliveau and Schuller and were responsible for penning all nine tracks. The pair were certainly decent writers with tracks like 'What's Right for Me', 'Take My Soul' and 'Slumberland Blues' displaying their ear for churning blues-rock. They'd clearly been listening to loads of Cream and Mountain. Sure, the vocals were occasionally a bit strained, the sound was somewhat raw, and there wasn't a great deal of originality in these grooves. On the other hand, 'Second Time for Me' would have sounded great on FM radio. 'I Don't Know Who To Blame' showcased some first-rate screeching guitar from Belliveau. The organ-propelled 'What's Right For Me would have made Deep Purple proud, while the atypical acoustic ballad 'Just Like You' boasted their prettiest melody. Besides, on songs like 'Trouble' these guys offered up more enthusiasm than many of their name brand competitors and remember the old adage imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. All told, one of the better undiscovered era offerings and well worth seeking out.... (badcat credits)
