Between 1967 and 1968, the band, comprised of four young kids, recorded a few 45s for the Reena label, two of them released under the American Zoo name. Despite their young age, the band members were accomplished musicians / songwriters. They debuted in 1967 with “Feelings of my emptiness” / “For no one to see”, two amazing pieces of moody garage with superb vocal harmonies and arrangements. Their second 45, “Back Street Thoughts” / “Who Am I?” offered two pieces of introspective psychedelia with some over the top tape/echo effects courtesy of Dal Kacher, a session guitar player and sound engineer who had been part of early Mothers Of Invention. “Who Am I?” was included decades later in “Diminishing Returns”, a famous psych mix by DJ Shadow. In 1968, the group released their third 45, this time under the American Zoo name: “Mr. Brotherhood” / “Magdalena” were another two examples of outstanding garage-psychedelia. A second pressing of the 45 was released featuring a new mix of “Mr. Brotherhood” losing one minute but incorporating some wild electronic effects. In the 1980’s, the song was included on such legendary compilations as “High All The Time” and “Psychedelic Unknowns”. That same year, American Zoo released their last 45: “What Am I?” was a reworking of “Who Am I?” with a more psychedelic production by Del Kacher. It was backed with the earlier recording of “Back Street Thoughts. So, the story of four young kids playing and recording top-notch garage-psychedelia is in itself amazing…but even more amazing is what happened later to some of the We The People / American Zoo members: Guitar player Bill Bottrell became a Grammy award producer, working with Michael Jackson, Madonna and George Harrison among others. Drummer Jason “Jasun” Martz toured with Frank Zappa and recorded with Michael Jackson. Today, he’s a well-known avant-garde artist and sculptor. Steve Zaillian, the first We The People drummer, became an Academy Award winning director, producer and screenwriter (“Schindler’s List” and “Hannibal” among others). This collection includes all the We The People / American Zoo 45 sides plus two previously unreleased tracks from 1967, taken from the only surviving copy of the band’s 10” demo acetate. Carefully remastered sound. Insert / booklet with rare photos and detailed liner notes by Gray Newell (Shindig!, Ugly Things) “…Until now, the earliest musical output of the We The People / American Zoo members was a well-kept secret, known only to a few collectors and connoisseurs of obscure records. This collection brings together all their recordings for the very first time and it is fascinating to hear the budding talents of these incredibly creative teens bloom and burst into flower.” – Gray Newell (Shindig! / Ugly things) “…The album clocks in at less than 30 minutes, but when every one of those minutes is pure magic, how could you possibly complain? We have a new contender for album of the year” – Mike Stax (Ugly Things) Artist We The People / American Zoo Genre Psychedelia / Garage Label Guerssen Buying Options 1LP Includes Insert Format 1LP , Includes Insert Condition New Country Spain Track Listings WE THE PEOPLE: Feelings Of My Emptiness 2:23 WE THE PEOPLE: Back Street Thoughts 2:38 AMERICAN ZOO: Magdalena 2:04 WE THE PEOPLE: Who Am I? 3:01 AMERICAN ZOO: Mr.Brotherhood 2:59 AMERICAN ZOO: What Am I? 2:26 AMERICAN ZOO: Mr. Brotherhood (Re-mix) 1:55 WE THE PEOPLE: For No One To See 2:03 WE THE PEOPLE: Back Street Thoughts (Previously Unreleased Acetate Version) 3:47 WE THE PEOPLE: Visions Of Time (Previously Unreleased) 2:59 Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Psychedelia / Garage View Product Quick View Bob Irwin and the Pluto Walkers The Throwaway Age Psychedelia / Garage | Sundazed | 180g, 1LP Released 26th March 2013 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bob Irwin and the Pluto Walkers The Throwaway Age £28.00 Genre: Psychedelia / Garage Label: Sundazed SKU: SUNDAZEDLP5450 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 26th March 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels Sock It To Me (mono) Psychedelia / Garage | Sundazed | 180g, 1LP Released 23rd July 2016 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels Sock It To Me (mono) £28.00 Genre: Psychedelia / Garage Label: Sundazed SKU: SUNDAZEDLP5084 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 23rd July 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Blues Magoos Electric Comic Book Psychedelia / Garage | Sundazed | 180g, 1LP Released 24th February 2011 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Blues Magoos Electric Comic Book £28.00 Genre: Psychedelia / Garage Label: Sundazed SKU: SUNDAZEDLP5301 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 24th February 2011 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Various Pebbles Vol 1 Psychedelia / Garage | BFD Records | 1LP Released 5th May 2007 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Various Pebbles Vol 1 £14.00 Genre: Psychedelia / Garage Label: BFD Records SKU: BFD5016 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 5th May 2007 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Blops Blops Psychedelia / Garage | Acme | 180g, 1LP Released 1st November 2011 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Blops Blops £16.00 Genre: Psychedelia / Garage Label: Acme SKU: ALD006 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 1st November 2011 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Jenna Freeman And The Cosmic Soemthing Oh Really, What’s That Then?
