Залит MaryButterworth/(1969)_MaryButterworth

ОФИГЕНННАЯ редкость!
Как написал один чувак в интернете: "Как только начинешь считать, что уже знаешь все группы в Лос Анджелесе, приходит Мэри Баттерворт!"
Ну, в общем - группа из Южной Калифорнии, пришли в студию, за менее, чем два часа записали этот альбом, издали малой партией, раздали друзьям и разошлись навсегда. И никто бы о них не знал и помнил, если бы в 20хх году фильм "Трудности перевода", в котором звучал один из треков альбома, не завоевал бы Оскара. Трек даже первоначально не был указан в списке музыки, так как не могли найти ни автора и исполнителя. Потом, вроде, нашли. Вот такая история.
Альбом коротенький и по музыке не слишком разнообразный. Больше всего они мне напомнили Гранд Фанк Рейлроуд и, знаете, слушается приятно и сыграно совсем-таки не по-любительски.
РЕКОМЕНДУЮ!

MARY BUTTERWORTН "S/T"

Travel back in time to 1969 with our official, limited edition LP reissue of one of the most sought after private press West Coast psychedelic LPs ever cut. In the tumultuous Spring of 1968, the Mary Butterworth band was formed. Contrary to rumors, the group originated from Southern California and enjoyed being thrust onto the incredible scene that was developing during this remarkable time for music. After a year or so of performing throughout the region in places like the Marina Palace in Seal Beach and others, they decided to record and release a debut album on their own label. In 1969, on a shoestring budget, their album was recorded, manufactured and released. Нowever, the limited pressing was pre-sold to fans and friends only, and never even made it into stores. It disappeared as quickly as it arrived, as did Mary Butterworth, who disbanded not long after the album’s release, never to perform together again. After a decade or two, word of the album spread to rabid collectors of vinyl records and late 60s music. Somewhere in Europe during this time, a bootleg vinyl version was released; the legend of Mary Butterworth continued to grow, driving the price of the original pressing up (and up and up). In 2003, the Mary Butterworth’s song, ‘Feeling I Get,’ was included in the Golden Globe and Oscar winning movie Lost In Translation (starring Bill Murray and the delicious Scarlett Johansson), although it was not included on that film’s soundtrack album. But no fear, you can now get the entire album of grooving jams, dripping with reverb: Mary Butterworth returns once again, this time in the form of a licensed, limited edition (500 copies) vinyl reissue from the master tapes. Incidentally, this is the third release in our series of vinyl reissue collaborations with Vintage. "Enjoyable L.A. area high school pothead sounds with Нammond organ upfront and the stoned-est most echo-laden drum sound this side of King Tubby."

The Story

In the Spring of 1968 the Mary Butterworth band was formed. They enjoyed playing a variety of engagements around the Southern California area and in 1969, the recorded the one and only album entitled Mary Butterworth. This original, vinyl album was pre-sold to fans and friends only- it was never available to the general public. Shortly thereafter, the group split up and never performed together again.

Years passed and rumors spread that Mary Butterworth had made it big. Нowever, that was not the case. What did happen was that one of those original vinyl albums made it into the hands of “bootleggers” in another country. They thought enough of the music to reissued the album, and they began a sales campaign of their own. It didn’t stop there. The Butterworth album has been bootlegged at least three other times in two different countries.

The bootlegging has created a Mary Butterworth following and pushed the price of the original vinyl album to over $2,000.00 per vinyl album. The Psychedelic Rock Music of the ’60’s is still regarded, even today, as some of the greatest live music ever created - and Mary Butterworth will be a lasting part of that history. This CD also includes many photos of the group. The CD, like the original vinyl album, is bound to be a collector’s item. Now you can find out why.
