Exact repro 180 gram virgin vinyl pressing; originally released in 1969. "Newburgh, New York psych-punks the Jelly Bean Bandits formed in 1966. Singer Billy Donald, guitarist Jack Dougherty, bassist Fred Buck, keyboardist Michael 'Mr. Addams' Raab, and drummer Joe 'Laredo London' Scalfari originally operated as The Mirror, regularly packing area nightspots like the local Trade Winds, Poughkeepsie's Buccaneer Nightclub, and Burlington, Vermont's Red Dog. In due time, they recorded a three-song demo reel that resulted in a three album recording contract with Mainstream Records -- however, unknown to Mainstream, these three songs represented the sum total of the Jelly Bean Bandits' repertoire, forcing the band to write enough additional material to flesh out a full-length LP in the course of a week. Amazingly, their eponymous 1967 debut is excellent, a freakbeat cult classic distinguished by Dougherty's emotive guitar and some innovative production techniques -- all the more impressive, the album was recorded in a single 12-hour stretch." -- All Music Guide

"Although poised on the threshold of stardom in the late '60s armed with a multi-album record contract, a growing fan base, and a release that leaped to #1 in Boston, in Louisiana, and in Florida, The Jellybean Bandits fully expected to follow in the successful footsteps of their fellow label mates, Big Brother & the Holding Company and The Amboy Dukes. Instead they managed to record only this one gem, a freakbeat cult classic distinguished by Jack Dougherty's emotive guitar. Recorded in one 12-hour rush in 1967 (and 3/4 of it written the six days previous to the session) the album is a psych-punk collector's classic." 180 gram virgin vinyl, limited edition of 1000 copies.
