Vanilla Fudge - Near The Beginning (1969) (1996)

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

I've always been very fond of "side one" of this Vanilla Fudge album. The full length treatment of Junior Walker's "Shotgun" is less about pulling the trigger than about bludgeoning a mortar shell with a sledge hammer. It's ace. Only the Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood original tops Fudge's cover of "Some Velvet Morning," in which the singer promises to tell us about "Phaedra" but never does. I will. Phaedra was a half-goddess cursed with a desire for younger men who hung herself out of guilt & shame after her son rejected her sexual advances. Obviously, something very odd was bugging Lee Hazlewood. The Fudge do it up like soundtrack music for a Dario Argento movie, & it rates with their spooky version of "Season of the Witch." It's followed by "Where Is Happiness," a slow rumination on why not getting laid qualifies as spiritual suffering. You also get a slam-bang "Good Good Lovin'," "People," (an original song if not title) & a radio edit of "Shotgun" for listeners inclined to get migraines. But if you get migraines, please stop listening to this album. "Break Song" is a 25 minute long Recorded Live in Concert wrestling match in an elephant graveyard, a perfect example of the genre, but I'm sure most of the audience had passed out before Carmen's drum solo...
