Archive release. A very special album rescued from the vault - 12 previously unreleased 1970 recordings from American psychedelic garage rockers, The Litter! The Litter's late '60s output, including the all-time classic "Action Woman," has been hailed as some of the finest psych garage rock to come out of the States and this lost album will be welcomed with open arms by fans of vintage rock! Packaged with liner notes from original Litter drummer Tom Murray. The Litter formed in 1966 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The group recorded three albums in the late 1960s before disbanding. All of their Minneapolis recorded material was produced by Warren Kendrick, who owned the Scotty and Warick and Hexagon labels.

The Litter - 'Wretch' (Purple Pyramid)
Just discovering the late '60's Minneapolis based - psych / garage rock band - The Litter within the last six months or so. This 'Wretch' CD is a collection of the band's long-lost / never released tracks complied from drummer Tom Murray. Really dug what I'm hearing here. Tunes that I found myself sitting up to take notice were "Trek Of The Mongoloids" (song about those who have Down Syndrome - includes a bit of "Coming To Take Me Away"), "Cross-Over" (notably, a fan favorite - about insanity), both edits of "Space A Comin'", two versions of their (unexpected) Peter Paul & Mary cover "Puff The Magic Dragon" and the rocking (live recording) of "Ungrateful Peg". Their initial / proper lp's were 'Distortions' ('67) - possibly their best work, '$100 Fine' ('68} and 'Emerge' ('69). Worth checking out.
