Search - The Lollipop Shoppe :: Just Colour

2008 digitally remastered edition of this Garage Rock/Psychedelic classic, originally released in 1967. Initially known as The Weeds and featuring Fred "Deep Soul" Cole, The Lollipop Shoppe sound amazingly modern. After The Weeds signed to UNI Records, their new manager, the infamous Lord Tim Hudson, insisted they change their name to The Lollipop Shoppe to fit in with the current trend of bizarrely named Bubblegum groups. The band's actual recordings are hardly Bubblegum, but instead a mix of crunching Garage Rock and wild Psychedelia. The album and its single, 'You Must Be a Witch,' are period classics and still prized by collectors, though neither made the charts. The band opened for stars such as Janis Joplin and The Doors, and appeared in the biker movie Angels from Hell. 14 tracks. Rev-Ola.
