    What a song! This just came on randomly, as I am listening to music. Definitely different.

    Fields • S/T
    LP, CD and promo 45 • Bide My Time / Take You Home

    A single self-titled album -- that's what the California power trio Fields left behind in 1969. Guitarist Richard Fortunato, bassist Patrick Burke, and drummer Steven Lagana had been deeply influenced by Cream, by the sound of things. Fields recorded this slab for UNI with producer Bill Rinehart (formerly of Emitt Rhodes' Merry-Go-Round). The first four cuts are solidly in the hard and heavy blues-rock terrain, with twinges of psychedelia tossed in the opening "Elysian Fields" and "Jump on You," two standouts with lots of great guitar work. Things begin to change a bit on "Sun Would Set," where the wasted psychedelia takes precedence over the rough and tumble; even with the Raelettes on backing vocals and the spaced-out wasted lyrics, it's still guitar-drenched and driven into the red so the impressionistic touches are hardly noticeable. Side two is comprised of a single cut -- "Love Is the Word" is nearly 19 minutes long and is one of those utterly ambitious and crazy experiments that actually worked, with bluesed-out acid rock guitar, whomping basslines, and a skittering though steady snare and shimmering cymbals. An overdriven organ enters the picture and then comes the fuzz. After about five minutes of power soloing, a Stax-inspired soul riff is established, the horns come pushing their way in, and we're off to the races. Along with the band, Northern soul chanteuse (courtesy of Motown Records) Brenda Holloway and the Raelettes come in from outer space and enter the groove, making this a full-blown psychedelic-soul tune that never, ever gives up its groove, grease, or grit. The vocals here are almost as deliriously powerful and lusty as the screaming six-string and overblown bass groove. Thank the gods that the Fields' LP has been dusted off, remastered, and reissued by Fallout on CD. Simply amazing.

    It has Magic Potion/ Cast a Spell on side A
    and
    The Drag Set - Day and Night/ Get Out of My Way on side B

    Per Discogs;
    British rock band from London from the late 1960s. Originally called The Apaches, later renamed to The Drag Set and eventually called The Open Mind.
    The Drag Set, a mod band, changed their name to the Open Mind in late 1967 to reflect the non-judgmental receptiveness of the psychedelic era. After appearing at London's legendary venues like Middle East, the UFO Club, the Electric Garden (supporting Pink Floyd on opening night!)

    Nice score SIHAB! That's what got me into vinyl 20 years ago. Most of my collection was priced similarly. After some time, I gave up around here because the GW bins were mostly empty for years and the prices kept going up. Glad your location still has some gems.
