Product Description
Minneapolis legends the Stillroven forever staked their claim in the 60's garage firmament with their pedal-to-the-metal, frenetic version of "Hey Joe"—still THE definitive version as far as we're concerned. (We've lovingly documented this period of the group on our previous set, entitled, Cast Thy Burden Upon The Stillroven). Now, we've plugged the group into even bigger ‘n more ghastly amplifiers and, with their help, have mightily assembled the group's never-before-issued second album. Recorded at A&M Studios in 1968, the long-lost Too Many Spaces showcases the group's heavier, more psychedelic side, all the while perfectly maintaining their homegrown garage roots and midwest-melodic sensibilities!

The Stillroven's successful niche was that of a pleasant garage band who recognized that their energy was their greatest strength. At some point it appears they were confronted by some beaded guru heavies who told them they could unlock the universe's secrets and they listened. Too bad. And good for the suits who didn't release it.
By the time of these recordings they'd become such a compromise to hippie conformity that you coulda knocked on the door to any psychedelic ballroom in America and mistook them for any set of noodlers operating under a seven-syllable moniker, third on the bill.
There's a respectable number here and there on this re-issue but it all fails to have an identity. Their versions of 'Tin Soldier' and 'Get Ready' are brutal.
Sometimes the folks at the re-issue labels aren't our friends. Be warned.
