Bush, The
Got Bush If You Want It
In 1965-66, The Bush ruled the teen scene in Californias Inland Empire with smash hits on the local charts and throngs of fans flocking to their gigs. Originally called the Bushmen, they were the first band in their area with the longhaired Rolling Stones look. After they opened for the Stones in 1965 they became local superstars almost overnight. Girls wanted to sleep with them while envious guys either wanted to beat them up or be them. The CD features 27 tracks including all the Bushs 45rpm releases along with 21 amazing unissued tracks unearthed from lead singer Steve Hoards personal archive of master tapes and acetates. The deluxe CD packaging includes a 20-page booklet with full liner notes and tons of vintage photos. One of the most hotly anticipated 60s releases of the year, GOT BUSH IF YOU WANT IT is a treasure trove of killer sounds from a band that utterly epitomized 60s teenage garage rock cool. The high-quality vinyl LP edition will be available by early December. It includes the 16 very best Bush tracks (13 previously unreleased) packaged in a heavy-duty old-style jacket with glossy insert and full liners. Limited edition of 1,000.
