1975 Stereo pressing in shrink. The self-titled debut album from Vanilla Fudge, released in 1967, is a groundbreaking psychedelic rock album. The band's trademark sound, characterized by heavy, distorted guitar riffs, thundering drums, and lush harmonies, is on full display here. The album's standout tracks include the haunting "You Keep Me Hangin' On," a brilliant cover of the Supremes hit, and "Ticket to Ride," a frenzied interpretation of the Beatles classic. The band also showcases their impressive musicianship on the instrumental "Illusions of My Childhood - Part One" and the extended jam "Eleanor Rigby" which features a guest appearance by singer-songwriter Mark Stein. The album's experimental production techniques, including the use of tape manipulation and distortion, add to its overall trippy vibe. Vanilla Fudge's debut album remains a must-hear for fans of psychedelic and hard rock, and a testament to the band's influence on the genre.
