This dollar bin staple is one of those records that winds up in pretty much every record collection but probably never gets spun. I’m working on thinning the herd, however, so it’s up to the chopping block for the debut Smith album from 1969. I’ve had this record forever but I may only be hearing it for the first time now. I definitely don’t recall them sounding like this. Very cool. Basically, it seems, Smith was kinda like a west coast Vanilla Fudge, in that they played radically reworked covers of well known songs, but did them in a style that was identifiably their own. I dig this a lot.
Verdict: spared!
