about

The only album to ever credit producer Bob Shad as a leader -- even though the man had been behind so many famous records on labels that include Mainstream, Time, and Mercury! This set has Shad taking the hip vibe of the Mainstream label to the forefront -- mixing funky jazz and trippier rock touches together beautifully -- blending Mainstream's worlds of psych and soul in a tremendous way -- as he turns out these fresh new takes on big tunes from the time -- all redone here as fuzzy instrumentals! The great Ron Frangipane handled arrangements -- and titles include "Whole Lotta Love", "Pinball Wizard", "I Want You Back", "Instant Karma", and "No Time".
