 PACIFIC OCEAN
Purgatory

 ORIGINAL 1968  LP  STILL SEALED
VMC Records - VS135

*********************************************************

Pacific Ocean was an American West-Coast Psychedelic band. Purgatory is the first and only album. The title appears on the label, but not on the outer cover.

The album was released by the VMC label, known for releasing great Psychedelic albums. There isn't much information about them, but Actor Edward James Olmos plays/sings lead on the album. Most of the songs are covers except for two of them.
"  16 Tons"   is the first of the covers, originally by Merle Travis. Pacific Ocean gives a power to the song that it originally missed, that was the objective of this album probably, to give the power of rock music to old country tracks. "  Road To Hell"   and "  My Shrink"  are the only original songs, in "  Road To Hell"   the vocals sound just like Iggy Pop and the accelerated pace of "  My Shrink"   is really nice, and it has a great Guitar solo in the middle. unlike the previous songs where they sped up everything "  Subterranean Homesick Blues",   his much slower than the original, it has a much groovier sound. The Miracles where the first recorders of the hit-song "  Tracks Of My Tears"   by the big label Motown. The beginning of the sound is great. "  I Can't Stand It"   best part are the vocals, principally the Back-Vocals, the growling Lead-Vocals is really cool too. "  99 1/2"   has an intensive use of the Organ. If i said that he screamed in the last songs this one is extravaganza, screaming all the time.
