Original released on LP Crown Records CST 588
(US, 1968)
This is an odd record that is catnip for hardcore record collectors and alienating to pretty much everybody else, with a weird selection from 1968. The name and the font of Underground Electrics suggest something that would perhaps be heavy on analog synths and perhaps have a bit of eastern mysticism. Instead, it sounds like a disinterested Dick Curless fronting Cream, which in itself is a more interesting description than the music. The band lurches through a "Hey Jude" where the uncredited singer doesn't care to remember the lyrics; then they do "Crossroads" and "Boogie Chillen" before descending into originals and a couple other covers, none of which are distinctive outside of the baritone singer being impossibly divorced from the rest of the band. There's not enough imagination here to make for an interesting curiosity. Some guitar solos and the record sleeve are the only reasons I've found to share this album here.
