Limited gold colored vinyl LP pressing. The Standells' key albums for the Tower label (Dirty Water, Why Pick On Me, and Try It) perfectly bottled a rebellious wave of sound sweeping across mid-60s teen clubs, radio playlists and record racks. Starting with the genre-defining, proto-punk smash Dirty Water, through a series of equally memorable underdog anthems (Sometimes Good Guys Don't Wear White, Why Pick on Me) and obscenities (the banned Try It), the Standells left an indelible mark on their era. Those three Tower albums are a veritable feast of three chord, fuzz-drenched, Vox organ-driven squares-repellant. The Standells' Dirty Water album, their first for Tower, was primarily recorded away from their Hollywood home base. Producer Ed Cobb picked a Seattle studio and engineer Kearney Barton (the Sonics), unwittingly unleashing the savage Pacific Northwest sound on the rest of the country. As Standells founding member Larry Tamblyn tells it, It really was the Standells raw. The results include crushing classics like Little Sally Tease, Medication, and Why Did You Hurt Me. Cut in mono by Kevin Gray and pressed on colored vinyl LP at RTI! Medication, Little Sally Tease, There's a Storm Coming, 19th Nervous Breakdown, Dirty Water, Poor Man's Prison (Originally Unissued Bonus Track), It's All in Your Mind (Originally Unissued Bonus Track), Pride ; Devotion, Sometimes Good Guys Don't Wear White, Hey Joe Where You Gonna Go?, Why Did You Hurt Me, Rari, Batman (Originally Unissued Bonus Track), Take a Ride (Originally Unissued Bonus Track)
