RELEASE DATE

2022 repress; double LP version. Gatefold sleeve; color insert with rare photos and liner notes; includes download card. Fabulous US hard-psychedelic album by
Noah
, recorded in 1972 but never released at the time. Expanded to a double set including the
Sound Barrier
(pre-Noah) sought-after garage-psych 45s plus unreleased demos, '67-71. Formed in the late '60s in Salem, Ohio, out of the ashes of two garage bands, the
Markees
and the Sound Barrier (of the legendary "Hey, Hey" 45 on Zounds), Noah consisted of
Mark Scheuring
(guitar, lead vocals),
Larry Davis
(drums),
Paul Hess
(bass, backup vocals), and
Danny Hall
(keyboards, backup vocals). In 1972, the band recorded in just two days a concept album titled
Brain Suck
at Cleveland Recording studios with engineer/producer
Ken Hamann
(
Grand Funk Railroad
,
James Gang
). Noah's music was dark and heavy, dominated by killer Hammond organ, hard guitar and powerful vocals. This is truly a major find for anyone into hard psychedelia. The LP sessions were never released properly (in fact a truncated vinyl edition with some songs missing and late Sound Barrier demos added was released in 1995 by
Al Simones
on his Head Records label, without the band's knowledge) so this is the first time that the
Brain Suck
album is released as originally intended by the band. Features the original
Brain Suck
album by Noah, as originally recorded in 1972. Also features late Sound Barrier (pre-Noah) demos from 1968 (which are killer, prime cut garage-psych with ripping fuzz and organ) plus the two Sound Barrier 45s from 1967/68 on Zounds/United Audio and a couple of cool previously unreleased Noah home demos from 1971. Master tape sound and insert with rare photos and liner notes by
Plastic Crimewave
.
In the words of
Steve Krakow
(Plastic Crimewave): "...
it conjures the heavy, doomy vibe of
Blue Cheer
's 'Fruit and Icebergs' suite; the bluster of
Sir Lord Baltimore
(but maybe with
Keith Emerson
on keys); and a biker ferocity found on the
Fraction
Moon Blood
LP. I'm also imagining
Steppenwolf
,
Iron Butterfly
, or
Vanilla Fudge
on some bad drugs with a
Mothers
-like malignance.
