RARE UK ISSUE OF FUZZ & SITAR HEADY GARAGE PSYCH GEMS
THEM
Time Out - Time In
\ UK - ZAP - 7
TOP - FINAL COLLECTION COPY = MINT CLEAN!
Very hard to find, British 2ndpress from over 25 yers ago of the 1968 THEM album turned-on by psychedelic fuzzrock ....
After Van Morrison’s departure from the group in 1966, Them relocated to Los Angeles, California and released a few Lp's, collectible worthwhile efforts. The group completely revamped their image and sound behind Jim Armstrong’s accomplished guitar work and Ken McDowell’s vocals; the only hold over from the Van Morrison era was guitarist Alan Henderson. Now And “Them” and Time Out! Time In For are by far and away the best LPs the post Van Morrison Them ever produced.
Let us get this out in the open right here: the psychedelic era "Them" is not near as good as early Van Morrison's Them, particularly with Them’s first LP and the early singles ( psych fans will probably take issue with this!). Early Them was a hard edged British R&B group who was both innovative and revered in their day. Van Morrison is a legend, however, and Them’s early work is considered some of the best pure rock n roll from that time frame (64-66).
That being said, this album is an excellent psychedelic record. The musicianship is way above average, particularly Jim Armstrong’s guitar work. Mean lean fuzz leads are painted all over this album. The opening cut “Time Out For Time In” is very good with complex time signatures and effective sitar work. Some of the tracks are with dramatic vocal phrasing and pretentious lyrics but that’s a minor complaint. Exotic numbers like “The Moth” and the lyrically bizarre “Waltz of the Flies” work best, employing a variety of instruments and strange sounds. Another highlight, “Black Widow Spider,” is a classic sitar headswirler while the boys give a good blues psych reading of “I Put A Spell On You” (titled here “I Put A Hex On You”).
Once again, if you expect the unexpected and enjoy classic psychedelia, this record is for you. It’s not the original Them but not many bands are. The Alan Henderson/Jim Armstrong/Ken McDowell lineup was a very underrated group, the music is very good and full of mysticism. During this era, Them also had a good live reputation throughout the LA area and released some fine singles including the excellent garage punker “Dirty Old Man.” Icing on the cake is the album sleeve’s beautiful psychedelic collage.
