1966 *MONOPHONIC* original *VINYL* ...minty clean!                       

    THE SHADOWS OF KNIGHT    

              GLORIA

            ...USA - Dunwich 666 - DN 12356 - MONO

Original VINYL first pressing from 1966 in glorious MONO ... Plays CLEAN !!!

The rare mono issue contains different song mixes from the stereo release and completely different vibrant bold sound bursting from the monaural production -- makes this one the essential collectible from the 1966 garage punker scene!!!

Although revisionist historians will wrongly claim that any Shadows of Knight album that includes "Gloria" will cover just about everything you'll ever need on this Chicago punk band (and usually acting as if Van Morrison's and Them's original was the actual hit -- wrong), true believers have long championed their two original albums for the Dunwich label, especially this first  long-player named after their big hit. Why? Simply because it positively rocks with a raw energy of a band straight out of the teen clubs, playing with a total abandon and an energy level that seems to explode out of the speakers. Equal parts Rolling Stones, Yardbirds, Who, and snotty little Chicago-suburb bad boys, The Shadows of Knight could easily put the torch to Chess blues classics, which make up the majority of the songs included here. Their wild takes on "I Just Want to Make Love to You," "Oh Yeah," and "I Got My Mojo Working" rank right up there with any British Invasion band's version from the same time period. Original material was never plentiful on either Shadows OF Knight long-player, but worth checking out are "Light Bulb Blues," the blues ballad "Dark Side," and the why-me? rocker "It Always Happens That Way."  Well worth adding to the collection. If you're only going to own one Shadows of Knight package, you could, and should, start right here.
