5つ星のうち5.0 One of the best things I've heard in a very long time.

I love the consistency of the material. For recordings made in the 1960's when a lot of acts were doing throwaway b-sides and filler tracks on albums, this band was the exception to the rule. I was too young to have heard this music when it was originally made (only because the band wasn't huge enough to get played on the local radio when I was a little boy). Local radio was very Top 40 oriented and mainly just big worldwide acts and the odd local band.

This item is right up there on my list of the best albums ever. It's a short list as most fail to satisfy me completely.

The Beatles, Abbey Road. T.Rex's Electric Warrior & The Slider, Codeine Velvet Club's self titled CD, and now this release by The Skeptics.

From what I gather, this is a collection of singles. A few tracks do sound like they were mastered from vinyl. But in great quality. The release starts off strong with "It's A New Thing To Me", followed by "Not Another Cloudy Day". Interesting that this song features a female lead vocalist, while none of the other songs do. I had thought I was the only person to do a release like that, with my own band. Apple Candy is a great song with some classic Farfisa organ. Both versions are great and I imagine this song would have been one of their big hits.

Stripes is an odd song, in the same way that the Tom Jones song Delilah was - a song about a jealous boyfriend thinking of killing or planning to kill his girlfriend. It still boggles my mind that anyone ever put out a song with such subject matter. Often times wonder if any of them were investigated in murder cases. But all of the material on this release, including that song are all top notch gems.

She's a Gas is also a big fave, right along with Turn It On. It was in fact the song Turn It On which drew my attention to this band. Someone had sent me a link to view it somewhere and I was amazed and instantly realized that this song played a pivotal role in Marc Bolan's song "Get It On".

Whereas the bigger influence on Get It On is obviously Chuck Berry's "Little Queenie", Marc pretty much copied the chorus of this song for his song Get It On. Get It On being something of a blend of both Little Queenie & Turn It On. Song title is even similar.

Anyway, great, likely very overlooked band. Check this out if you can get it at a reasonable price as I did. It will be one of the best things you ever spent some of your time listening to and enjoying! Highly recommended

This album has just over 37 minutes of music from an Oklahoma band named The Skeptics. It is presented as the total recorded output from this sextet during the first half of its existence. During this period, The Skeptics music evolved in a way that somewhat mirrored the general music scene. The first few cuts are Brit Invasion influenced with one exception. On the second track (`Not another Cloudy Day'), the band is backing a female country singer on a rather trite ballad about a car wreck that has a (surprise!) happy ending. The sparse liner notes indicate this was the B side of the band's first 45 and came about because the band's bassist had played with the singer in an earlier, presumably C&W outfit.

The middle batch of songs is more garage-oriented and shows the archetypical "it's got a good beat and you can dance to it." Of particular note are the two versions of Apple Candy,' which really rock despite kind of lame lyrics. `Stripes,' which follows, and is the steep drop in quality, telling the story of a killer whose motive for offing his girl was that she wore stripped dresses. A feeble attempt at irony ends the song as said killer now wears striped in prison.

This nadir compensated for by the last batch of songs that - with the exception of the late sixties obligation to do a song about growing up poor (`East Side Tenement House') - stay in the garage genre and are both well-structured and performed. It's the last track that provides biggest surprise. `Down to the Bone' is a Stax-Volt type soul song replete with horns; and, it's really good. The notes advise that after the primary songwriter skipped the band, this is the direction in which the remaining members went. One is left wonder how successful they were at this path; the notes - weak by any standard and certainly by that of other Gear Fab releases - say nothing.
