The Moles “The Early Moles” 1973 US Private Psych Jazz Rock only 500 copies pressed
Early 70s local band inspired by the likes of Blood, Sweat and Tears and Chicago, with their own slant, of course. On the Sarcana label from 1973…..
This album was originally released in 1971 by this Florida based outfit. The first issue is extremely rare, and this second issue from 1973 is considered only slightly more accessable. Though a big draw among underground rock collectors, their sound doesn’t really fit the bill. It’s somewhat heavy, semi-comm. soul influenced rock, sort of what Blood Sweat and Tears might have sounded like without the horns. There is some solid guitar work though, and mild psych elements are lurking around in the mix. Grades - 2 B+’s, 3 B’s, 3 B-’s, and 2 C+’s. This issue released on Sacrana records….by…..tymeshifter……..
