The
last great San Jose, Calif. band has a debut album at last! Always
mentioned in the same breath as the South Bay's hallowed trio —
the Syndicate Of Sound, the Chocolate Watchband and Count Five —
the Mourning Reign has been woefully under-represented on wax —
until now. We've recently uncovered three powerful 1967 cover versions
— the Who's "Run, Run, Run," Cream's "Tales
Of Brave Ulysses" and Love's "Signed D.C." —
to complete a package combining the band's first, ultra-rare Contour
single "Evil-Hearted You"/"Get Out Of My Life, Woman"
with all of the fuzz-drenched Golden State Recorders material, like
"Satisfaction Guaranteed" and "Our Fate." Mourning
Reign guitarist Steve Canali uncorks the band's story on the sleeve,
assuring that you (and Dionne Warwick) will never again forget the
way to San Jose. |
