TOUCH - STREET SUITE 1969

A local St. Louis, Missouri band. Only 100 copies of their album were pressed and the above two non-LP 45s were often given away free with it. We're talking an ultra rarity of the highest order here. There are a couple of pseudo-country tracks (Happy Face and Got To Keep Travelling On) but the rest is for the most part mindblowing psychedelia. The best of these are Catfish, with some bluesy psychedelic guitar work, andtwo social commentary songs, Get A Gun and Let's Keep The Children On The Streets, a song about the riotsof the sixties. Tiring of the pop and R&B scene, Touch were formed in mid-67, to create a more powerful fusion of psychedelic blues, and they quickly picked up support slots for acts such as Steppenwolf, Cream and Iron Butterfly, also playing at a Free festival with Big Brother & The Holding Co. and The Allman Bros in '68. (Fuzz Acid & Flowers)

  4. Hi There!
    No dubt, great record but are you sure the last track is on this records? It sound like something
    years distant from the rest of the work.
    All the best.
