2019 repress on black vinyl. Originally released on CD in 1996, now reissued on A Recordings, Anton Newcombe's own record label. Released on 180 gram vinyl. The Brian Jonestown Massacre's obsession with the Rolling Stones continues unabated on the brilliant Take It from the Man!; where the group resurrected psychedelic-era excesses on the previous Their Satanic Majesties' Second Request, here they jump further back in time to the Stones' mid-'60s period, with even more superlative results. From the opening Vacuum Boots onward, Take It from the Man! Is gritty, swaggering R&B-influenced rock, delivered with remarkable assurance and attitude; singer Anton Newcombe is half-madman and half-shaman, and he commands each delirious moment with absolute mastery, emerging not so much a disciple of Mick Jagger but as a serious threat to the throne. Vacuum Boots, Who?, Oh Lord, Caress, (David Bowie I Love You) Since I Was Six, Straight Up and Down, Monster, Take It from the Man, B.S.A, Mary Please, Monkey Puzzle, Fucker, Dawn, Cabin Fever, In My Life, The Be Song, My Man Syd, Straight Up and Down
