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 White Hills Glitter Glamour Atrocity Psychedelia / Garage | Thrill Jockey | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 25th August 2014 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders White Hills Glitter Glamour Atrocity £16.00 Genre: Psychedelia / Garage Label: Thrill Jockey SKU: THRILL377LP Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 25th August 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Willian Nowik Pan Symphony in E Minor Psychedelia / Garage | Guerssen | 1LP Released 9th November 2009 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Willian Nowik Pan Symphony in E Minor £20.00 Genre: Psychedelia / Garage Label: Guerssen SKU: GUESS063 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 9th November 2009 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Radio Moscow Brain Cycles Psychedelia / Garage | Alive Records | 1LP Released 4th November 2022 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Radio Moscow Brain Cycles £26.00 Genre: Psychedelia / Garage Label: Alive Records SKU: LPALIVE0093C Formats: 1LP Released Date: 4th November 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mad Curry Mad Curry Psychedelia / Garage | Wah Wah | 1LP, Includes 7" Released 14th January 2014 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mad Curry Mad Curry £24.00 Genre: Psychedelia / Garage Label: Wah Wah SKU: LPS121 Formats: 1LP, Includes 7" Released Date: 14th January 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ghost, The When You’re Dead Psychedelia / Garage | Wah Wah | 1LP Released 9th August 2007 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ghost, The When You’re Dead £17.00 Genre: Psychedelia / Garage Label: Wah Wah SKU: LPS033 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 9th August 2007 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Pond The Weather Psychedelia / Garage | Marathon Artists | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 5th May 2017 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Pond The Weather £22.00 Genre: Psychedelia / Garage Label: Marathon Artists SKU: MA0094LP Formats: 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 5th May 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Pixy Jones Bits n Bobs Psychedelia / Garage | Strangetown Records | 1LP Released 16th September 2022 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Pixy Jones Bits n Bobs £19.00 Genre: Psychedelia / Garage Label: Strangetown Records SKU: STR057LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 16th September 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View White Hills The Revenge of Heads on Fire Psychedelia / Garage | Heads On Fire Industries | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 16th September 2022 £24.00 - £26.00 Select options White Hills The Revenge of Heads on Fire £24.00 - £26.00 Genre: Psychedelia / Garage Label: Heads On Fire Industries Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 16th September 2022 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Goat World Music (10th Anniversary Abbey Road Remaster) Psychedelia / Garage | Rocket Recordings | 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 28th April 2023 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Goat World Music (10th Anniversary Abbey Road Remaster) £23.00 Genre: Psychedelia / Garage Label: Rocket Recordings SKU: LAUNCH266S Formats: 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 28th April 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Grateful Dead Skeletons From The Closet – The Best Of Grateful Dead Psychedelia / Garage | Rhino | 1LP Released 4th September 2020 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Grateful Dead Skeletons From The Closet – The Best Of Grateful Dead £22.00 Genre: Psychedelia / Garage Label: Rhino SKU: 0603497847792 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 4th September 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Psychedelia / Garage Start again
