GEORGIA PROPHETS “FEVER” COPY 3

GEORGIA PROPHETS “FEVER” (U.S.CUSTOM 8) 1971 COVER IS VG+ Partial sticker front cover Black marker writing front cover Ringwear mostly back cover Light discoloration spots back cover Light seamwear A couple of ripple creases back off of spine. DISC NICE VG++… SOME GREAT COVER TUNES BY BRUCE DEES AND COMPANY. These guys were most likely a southern bar act that gathered enough of a local following to make them decide to enter a studio to record some of their better material. They were obviously big fans of Stills and Young, as many of the covers on this mostly covers album were done by them. And these covers are, for the most part, quite accurate, and when they do deviate, it’s for the better. “Down By the River” and “Funk 49” are the highlights to my ears, featuring powerful renditions of both these now well known hits that weren’t as well known in 1971. Other good cuts include “Roll Over Beethoven”, “Sama Rock”, “Feelin’ Alright”, and “Long Time Gone”. I feel the rest of the stuff is off the pace of these superior tracks, and consists mostly of soul flavored mat’l. This is a pretty rare one, and not reissued yet as far as I know, but worth seeking out.
