With a throb of excitement
matched only by finding King Tut’s OTHER tomb, Sundazed has
recently unearthed a long-forgotten treasure from the seminal
mid-’60s Los Angeles rock scene: the previously unreleased
album by the Penny Arkade! Spotlighting singer/songwriters Chris
Ducey and Craig Smith along with bassist Don Glut and drummer
Bobby Donaho, the Penny Arkade--with its jangley melange of the
Byrds, Buffalo Springfield and Moby Grape—was a potential
pop-rock goldmine in the making. But its only album was inexplicably
shelved... Produced by Michael Nesmith, the original, unreleased
Penny Arkade album is now expanded to contain extra material from
the sessions, revealing demo recordings, and much more. With the
addition of long-buried photos and a detailed band history penned
by Ugly Things-editor Mike Stax, this is an astounding tape-vault
discovery of the first rank!
