Thing In E/Every Little Song/Talking To You/Tahitian Melody/Jammin’/Fox Is Sick/Someone’s Changing/ Remlap’s Cave (Part II)/Appeal To The Happy/Expectations
Self titled sole album from the obscure San Francisco psychedelic rock group The Savage Resurrection. They mixed garage, blues and psychedelia but with a singular lack of success at the time.
“The album contains some real groovy material although lacking in the songwriting department. Although the vocals leave something to be desired, the guitar work is fuzz drenched and pure acid. The mixture holds up well as a period piece.”
“Tahitian Melody is the only solid song on this record that conjures up a spacey atmosphere. The rest of the tunes are in the acid rock/garage rock vein, lacking the hooks and lyrics to compete with the better bands of the time. Occasionally the faceless garage rock has solid, tight playing but that is not saying much.”
“OK hard psych from CA. Nothing spectacular, but pleasant and at times interesting. Mostly in line with what was going on musically at the time.”
“Unexciting heavy acid rock record with a strong Cream influence. The difference between the two is that Cream wrote a bunch of great songs while Savage Resurrection wrote maybe two good ones.”
“One of greatest one-album bands and a great lost American band. One of the scant few classic hard rock albums made at the time of its release in early 1968. This is not only hard rock and acid rock but also a psychedelic classic.”
“An excellent hard rock/psychedelic album out of '60s San Francisco. Pretty solid all the way through, though the length of the song Jammin’ is rather boring and unlistenable towards the end.”
“Overall, a fairly ordinary hard psych sound. The first cut is a minor classic and the next few tracks are above average. Then we get a surprising slow, moody, dreamy psych tune, though it's not really a great track. Then two plodding, dreadful blues rock cuts that are enough to make this an album I'd never play straight through a second time. A decent, energetic blues rock rave-up comes near the end, and a pretty hot and somewhat raucous guitar jam appears before the album closes.”
