The Elastik Band’s “Spazz” may be the sort of single so strange and uncommercial it boggles your brain concerning how it got released on the big label (Atco). Also by the specifications lately 1967, when this arrived, it had been politically incorrect towards the utmost, its lyrics viciously taunting a spastic, its regular blues-rock-garage verses bracketed by cheesy bursts of quasi-Oriental melodies.

After its discharge, the group agreed upon to Kapp, which provided the Elastik Music group more elaborate creation than they’d got on their prior produces. The label do record in regards to a few albums’ worthy of of music using the group, though it released just a couple of past due-’60s singles using the music group, the to begin them (“I’D Still Like You”) learning to be a local strike in Az. Their last 45, a cover of Jimmy Webb’s “Tunesmith,” premiered in immediate competition using a edition of the same tune with the Bards, with neither edition becoming a strike. Universal (Kapp’s mother or father company) then transformed the group’s name to Dangerfield, saving another record of materials, though only one (“Zig Zag Guy”/”Rockpile”) was released. For quite some time, the Elastik Music group were known limited to “Spazz,” which obtained fame among garage area rock and roll and psychedelic enthusiasts because of its inclusion within the first level of the Pebbles reissue series (obtaining resurrected once again about twenty years afterwards for the Nuggets container). In 2007, the compilation The Elastik Music group, combining released and unreleased materials (including, needless to say, “Spazz”), illustrated that truly “Spazz” wasn’t as well typical from the group’s materials, which also spanned psychedelic play the spirit from the Electric powered Prunes, Strawberry NOISY ALARMS, and Association.
