6.   COMMENT

My last spare copy of over the top Heavy Guitar Psych, the album sounds like Hendrix jamming with Blue Cheer ,great distorded fuzz guitars and heavy Hammond organ.
This collection of self-penned material has a distinctly British sound, despite being recorded for Chalmac, New York. It was produced by Ed Chaplin (which partly explains the Hendrixian flavour).'Stoned In The Bathroom' is quite brilliant, driven along by psychy organ and grinding freakbeat guitar it is as unlike 'Let's Twist Again' as any of Chubby's records could possibly be. The anonymous writer of the album's sleevenote does warn us- "This is the new Chubby Checker! Those who expect to find an echo of the days of the Twist will not find it". Damn right. And man, does he sound stoned!
'No Need To Get So Heavy' features heavy guitar licks and is full of social consciousness. 'Let's Go Down' is a weird amalgam of ska, toytown syke and funky soul, built on a military rhythm. Odd!
'My Mind' is absolutely incredible!!! A breath-taking combination of powerhouse vocal, freakbeat and heavy psych rock. Same ballpark as John Fitch's 'Stoned Out Of It', but playing a far, far tougher game. The bludgeoning fuzz guitar power chords are some of the most awesome to ever reach human ears via the recording studio. The best recording Chub ever made!!! It's like he's doing guest vocal on a bad tempered session with Jimmy Page and Ginger Baker! "My mind comes from a high place!" he wails and we totally totally BELIEVE him! 'Goodbye Victoria' reminds me of Pussy / Bobak Jons Malone. It has that production, expansive yet claustrophobic, as well as the hypnotic piano riffs and distant vocal. Nice.
'Love Tunnel' sounds like The Doors. It's a chunky dancer with some beguiling tempo changes. 'Slow Lovin'' has a funky-bluesy club sound, whilst 'He Died' is a moving meditation on the crucifixion of Christ, done in a sub-Nina Simone style. And 'If The Sun Stopped Shining' ends the album with the only proper 'soul' track and the only one which you'd guess blind could really be Chub's work.
