The Organ Grinders

Out of The Egg

Very Rare original US LP released on Mercury Records in 1970. 1st US pressing on the Red label.

This is good but unexceptional late popsike with flutes, fuzz guitars, trippy lyrics, a mix of soft and loud. The songwriting is reasonably creative but they don’t create much of an identity here. Creepy album cover to be filed with After All. This is one of those albums that dealers always seem to hype as unknown and underrated, maybe because it’s still cheap.

A record either loved or hated, I fall into the former category and think this is the best obscure album Mercury released along with Wizards From Kansas. If you look at the insert before playing this you will know that this is an early melding of arty psych and electronic instruments and effects. While most of these early experiments delve into noise and abrasive pretentiousness the Organ Grinders are very trippy and very melodic.

The vocals are a strong point, nicely harmonized and very psychedelic. The instrumentation is clever and well executed, while the songs are downright brilliant. “8th Day In Heaven” is one of many standouts with jaw dropping time changes and this could easily be filed under “progressive psych.” A bit of a Left Banke/Federal Duck vibe is very evident, making for a melodic psych treat. Every track is a winner and this is, if truth be told, one of my favourite American albums with a strong Anglophile vibe too. Some do not like this, but I do and say that it is a very underrated one.
