Description
Limited Expanded 180 gram green vinyl
Formed from Yorkshire beat-era roots and reborn in London as The Smoke, Mick Rowley, Mal Luker, John 'Zeke' Lund and Geoff Gill were one of the great should-have-been bands of the British psychedelic explosion.
Though their UK breakthrough was curtailed by controversy, their blistering 'My Friend Jack' found a far warmer reception in Germany, where it climbed to No. 2 and briefly made them genuine continental stars.
Rushed out for the German market in 1967, It's Smoke Time caught the band at their peak: a vivid collision of tough mod-pop, garage bite and emerging psychedelia. From the fuzz-driven attack of 'My Friend Jack', 'High In A Room' and 'We Can Take It' to the melodic charm of 'Waterfall' and 'Wake Up Cherylina', it remains a prized snapshot of mid-Sixties freakbeat invention.
This expanded Morgan Blue Town edition brings that cult classic back on premium green 180gm vinyl, adding the previously unreleased original version of 'My Friend Jack' and a detailed insert essay. For collectors, psych devotees and curious newcomers alike, it is the definitive way to rediscover The Smoke's rare, radiant and still-potent sole LP.
