THE FIRE ESCAPE – PSYCHOTIC REACTION

At last, an official reissue of this classic piece of punkadelic exploitation! Newly-remastered from the powerful mono master tapes for the first time since 1967, the Fire Escape’s “Psychotic Reaction” features a garage-rocking program of cool covers like ‘Love Special Delivery,’ ‘Talk Talk’ and ‘The Trip.’ There’s also a couple of cryptic originals in ‘Journey’s End’ and ‘Blood Beat.’ For years, controversy has reigned over as to the identity of the participants, so the detailed liner notes by Alec Palao go some way to dispel the mystery. Presented in a deluxe reproduction of the original sleeve with insert. **** “Anyone obsessed with the garage band era will know and love this already” (Shindig)
