by Cub KodaThe Sonics that Wailers bassist Buck Ormsby took into a small studio and unleashed on the world show a live band at the peak of its power, ready to mow down the competition without even blinking twice. Their debut long-player (originally issued on the Etiquette imprint) is reprised here with new liner notes by Norton prexy Miriam Linna in the original mono. The flame-throwing hits of"The Witch,""Psycho,""Boss Hoss," and"Strychnine" are aboard, along with versions of"Do You Love Me,""Dirty Robber,""Have Love Will Travel," and"Walkin' the Dog" that are no less potent. This long-play vinyl reissue also boasts the addition of four bonus tracks:"Keep a Knockin'" (the original B-side of"The Witch") and three selections from an Etiquette Christmas album,"Don't Believe in Christmas,""The Village Idiot," and"Santa Claus." Another important chunk of Seattle rock & roll history.
