On their only album, the Savage Resurrection mined a psychedelic sound that was not as heavy and metallic as Blue Cheer also produced by Abe Voco Kesh , but at the same time more garagey in feel than that of the average Bay Area psychedelic band. Sometimes it s pedestrian blues-rock with overlong riffing, as on the accurately titled Jammin. At its best, it has the spacier, folkier, and more melodic feel that was characteristic of much 60s Californian psychedelic music, as on Someone s Changing. More dissonant and Middle Eastern influences make themselves known on Every Little Song and Tahitian Melody, and the backup vocals on Remlap s Cave, Pt. 2 indicate that they did their share of listening to the Who s A Quick One, While He s Away. Randy Hammon and John Palmer create an intense and thick dual-guitar sound throughout separated so that Hammon s playing is on the left channel, and Palmer s on the right .
EXCERPT FROM AN ONLINE REVIEW BY RICHIE UNTERBERGER, ALL MUSIC GUIDE /ALLMUSIC.COM/
Original copies of this 1968 album the group s only release now change hands for hallucinogenic prices. Their self-confessed Hendrix obsession is immediately obvious. First track, Thing In E, is a speeded up version of Jimi s first album, first track, Foxy Lady. Throughout one hears similarly loud echoes. Love obviously motivated the intricate structure and well-executed tempo switches of Someone s Changin , and Country Joe is conjured up by the good-humoured, hippy-funk of Fox Is Sick.
What saves the group from dismissal as well-meaning imitators and from the vaults of collectors are the glimpses of raw power they show on fuzzed-up RB doodlebugs such as Appeal To The Happy and, conversely, moments of left-field, ethnic delicacy, as on Tahitian Melody. Undeveloped potential to go.

CONDITION:
RECORD
IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded we grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight
a WE GRADE THE VINYL AS WEAK NEAR MINT. Some VERY LIGHT AND SUPERFICIAL abrasions mostly sleeve scuffs - are barely visible, but are probably inaudible, and do not affect visual integrity or beauty of the vinyl. The original luster is very much intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.
b The record comes in the original stock inner sleeve.
c The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording
d Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording
