Product Description Description Having led the LA division of the British Invasion for some years - appearing on 'Batman' no less that most British of duos Chad & Jeremy were feeling the changing times and were ready to pull out the stops in creating a studio masterpiece to rival the best of em. Super-producer Gary Usher was enlisted and brought along his full menagerie: Curt Boettcher, The Firesign Theatre, members of The Millennium and the wrecking crew. Despite this hallowed company, our boys remained resolutely in command, emerging as gifted writers, arrangers and performers in the process. 'Of Cabbages And Kings' was their finest half hour, bursting with invention and experimentation just witness the sidelong 'Progress Suite' for proof of their ambition. Produced in cooperation with Chad & Jeremy themselves! Wonderfully remastered by Norman Blake at Studio 3 and featuring out-takes and alternate versions! A must for all fans of full-on baroque pop, cut-glass electric folk and gentle psychedelia! Similar CDs

CD ReviewsA Peek Behind the Looking Glass PHILIP S WOLF | SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, CA. USA | 05/18/2007 (4 out of 5 stars) "It must be Stated that in 1967, it was NOT considered cool to be Listening to Chad & Jeremy. The Cream, Jimi Hendrix and Jefferson Airplane were the Faves of the Day, just add Love Beads and you were GROOVY BABY !!!
I never saw "Of Cabbages and Kings" in the Record Bins in 67, But I wish I had found this one, it's a bit of a 'Lost Masterpiece' and I don't feel it's Trapped into it's Time Period of the Trippy Mid-Sixties, as a Fine piece of Pop, it Hold's it's own as a Unique and Clever Curio. This is Good Music and it is as Much a Classical Piece as a Slice of the Pop pie. The Songs: "Rest in Peace", "Can I See You" and "I'll Get Around To It When I Can" are Wonderful and "I'll Get Around To It" COULD have been a BIG HIT, it's that Good. Side Two of "Cabbages & Kings" presents the 'Progress Suite' in all it's Glory and for me it Works on One Level: It's Fine Music and well Played, but it is far removed from the Pop music of it's Day (the Sitars DO NOT make it cool) by simply being Mixed in there amoung the British Chatter and Clock Sounds. The 'Suite is Closer to a Soundtrack of a Doris Day Movie than it is to Rock Music. This is an Grand Experiment BUT it does not hold up over the LP's second Side, Sorry, but that's the truth. The Success of Chad & Jeremy is that you Build Beautiful Music AROUND Their Fantastic Vocal Skills and there lies the Secret as to why we Like their Music in the First place. But, in it's defense this piece of Music was recorded before the Release of the Beatles Sgt. Pepper (Jan-Mar 67)but it was Finished up after Pepper's June 67 release and I would think most of the Overdubbing was Added at that time..Too Bad. If they had toned it down a bit I Believe the Music of Chad & Jeremy would have Survived these Hippy-Drippy Times. Good Acoustic Music was two years down the road with the likes of C,S,N & Y and others. I believe these two Guys kinda took a wierd turn to 'Pysche it Up' against their better instincts and it Killed them in the end. I am very Glad to see the Music of Chad & Jeremy Alive and well in 2007 FOUR STARS" |
