Dieses Album von Vanilla Fudge aus dem Jahr 1967 ist zweifellos eines der bedeutendsten Meilenstein-LPs der zeitgenössischen Musikhistorie. Durch die fantastische Neu-Edition geht der Klanghimmel nun noch ein Stückchen weiter auf. Ohne jede Übertreibung! Die audiophile MFSL (Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab) Edition auf zwei LPs in 180 Gramm und 45rpm kitzelt noch die finalen Klang-Finessen, der eh schon hervorragend klingenden Schallplatte heraus. Die Original Master-Bänder wurden von Krieg Wunderlich mit viel Sachkenntnis bearbeitet. Durch den authentischen True-To-The-Original Mono-Mix klingen die Scheiben maximal druckvoll und führen zu intensivstem Hörgenuß. Hier wird Musik dann erlebbar, spürbar und fühlbar. Dies ist uns, ohne zu Zögern, ein Highlight des Monats wert. Aber aufgepasst. Die Auflage ist streng auf 3000 einzeln nummerierte Exemplare limitiert.
Eröffnet wird die Scheibe mit “Ticket To Ride“ aus der Feder der Herren John Lennon und Paul McCartney. Genial, was Carmine Appice (Schlagzeug), Tim Bogert (Bass, Gesang), Vince Martell (Gitarre, Gesang) und Mark Stein (Gesang, Keyboards) aus dem Beatles-Song, der 1965 auf dem Album “Help!“ erschien kreierten. Herrlich die schwebende, kraftvoll-warme Hammond-Orgel, die meisterlich von Stein intoniert wird. Der schwermütig langsame Rhythmus des kongenial agierenden Duos Appice/Bogert verleiht dem Stück nochmal mehr Dramaturgie und Tiefe. Hier offenbart sich auch sofort die Güte der audiophilen Neu-Edition. Der Gesamteindruck ist atemberaubend. Die Details werden sauberst herausgearbeitet. Ein ganz wichtiger, zentraler Song folgt dem Opener mit der Curtis-Mayfield-Komposition “People Get Ready“. Das 6:30 Minuten lange Stück wird hier mit soviel Emotionen und Authentizität interpretiert, dass es tief in Herz und Seele geht und selbst Eisberge zum Schmelzen bringt. Ein rundum gelungenes High-End-Schmankerl, an dem Sie viel Freude haben werden. wb
Krieg Wunderlich übernahm die Bearbeitung der Original-Masterbänder für die 180g-Mono-Vinyl-LP mit 45 rpm. Nummerierte, auf 3.000 Exemplare limitierte Auflage.

Rezension:
Die Band aus Carmine Appice, Tim Bogert, Vince Martell und Mark Stein war eine der merkwürdigsten Erscheinungen der amerikanischen Psychedelia; eine der großen Pionier-Bands, die den Heavy Rock mit aus der Taufe hoben. Dabei hielten sie sich als Songwriter zurück, ihr Debüt bestand sogar ausschließlich aus Coverversionen. Doch was für welche! "Ticket To Ride", "She's Not There", "Bang Bang", "Eleanor Rigby", "People Get Ready" – allesamt vollkommen umgedeutet, in halbiertem Tempo, zerdehnt bis über die Schmerzgrenze hinaus. Die Songs, durchweg von größter denkbarer Popularität und in jedermanns Ohr, wurden zu etwas ganz anderem. "People Get Ready" etwa, getragen zunächst nur von Mark Steins Orgel, wird zu einer Art Kirchenchoral; oben gennannter Zombies-Hit gerät gar zu einer quälenden, ekstatischen schwarzen Messe – fast schon eine Steilvorlage für Black Sabbath. Am eindrucksvollsten gelingt die Metamorphose aber bei dem Supremes-Klassiker "You Keep Me Hanging On". Das muß wohl nach wie vor als eine der grandiosesten Coverversionen der Rockgeschichte bezeichnet werden. – Sundazed hatte vor einigen Jahre bereits eine hervorragende Vinylausgabe im originalen Mono-Mix herausgegeben; die MFSL-45 UPM-Ausgabe (limitiert auf 3000 Exemplare) aber dürfte nochmals in einer eigenen Liga spielen…! (1967/2020)

*** Gatefold Cover
Die Lebensdauer der Band betrug nur drei Jahre, aber der Sound von Vanilla Fudge beeinflusste eine Vielzahl anderer Musiker lang über diesen Zeitraum hinaus. Das gleichnamige Album aus dem Jahr 1967 enthält Coverversionen verschiedener Titel von Künstlern wie den Beatles, Curtis Mayfield, den Supremes oder Sonny Bono. Doch ihre Interpretationen machen aus Mainstream-Hits progressive Rock-Songs mit sinfonischen Arrangements.
Die Doppel-Mono-LP mit 45 RPM erscheint auf 180-Gramm-Vinyl im Klappcover in einer auf 3.000 Exemplare limitierten Auflage. Fortlaufende Seriennummer.

Permission to Get Weird: Vanilla Fudge Shape-Shifts the Familiar into Uncharted Psychedelic Excursions Marked by Hypntic Arrangements, Bizarre Timing, and Grinding Soul
Mastered from the Original Master Tapes and Strictly Limited to 3,000 Numbered Copies: Sonically Superb Mobile Fidelity 180g 45RPM 2LP Is in True-to-the-Original Mono
Permission to get weird is granted with Vanilla Fudge. Created during the peak of heightened chemical, musical, and social experimentation, the band's self-titled debut aims for sonic and mental expansion via psychedelic means. Consisting primarily of elongated covers of then-modern works by the Beatles, Supremes, Curtis Mayfield, and others, the album shape-shifts the familiar into original, uncharted excursions that lead to colorful dimensions. More than 50 years after its original release, the symphonic arrangements now sound more ambitious, direct, mesmerizing, and influential than ever before courtesy of a superior mono restoration featuring wider, deeper grooves.
Mastered from the original master tapes, pressed on premium vinyl at RTI, and strictly limited to 3,000 numbered copies, Mobile Fidelity's 180g mono 45RPM vinyl 2LP set unveils the baroque underpinnings, gorgeous harmonies, grinding soul, and low-end-plumbing organ riffs that help make the quartet's music inimitably unique. The timing of the off-kilter tempos and unpredictable improvisational movements is also cast into unpolluted light, with the collective's expert shading and deliberate tonality emerging as major components of the songs.
Vastly improved, too, is the powerful, jazz-inspired drumming of Carmine Appice. Seated deep and wide in the vast soundstage, his playing illuminates the genius of Vanilla Fudge's arguably most valuable asset – a sense of dynamics and surprise that contributes to a rich, malt-like musical thickness true to the band's name. Psychedelia, yes, but seemingly more dense, absurd, slow, and groovy than that offered by any of its late 1960s contemporaries, and free of any of the cloying nature that immediately identifies retro acts as imitators.
Indeed, Vanilla Fudge's 1967 magnum opus occupies territory located between high-art seriousness and rule-breaking outrageousness. Its maverick streak treats reverential scripts with inviting strangeness, offbeat vision, and zero pretension. Sharing a mental wavelength with Frank Zappa and the Mothers' finest work, renditions of the Beatles' "Eleanor Rigby" and Curtis Mayfield's "People Get Ready" swirl with bizarre accents and stretch the imagination. Equally creative, Vanilla Fudge's takes on Sonny Bono's "Bang Bang" and the Zombies' "She's Not There" redefine the dirge.
Developing a sound that predated prog-rock and metal by years, Vanilla Fudge has been cited by members of Deep Purple, Yes, and Chicago as a key inspiration. And none other than Led Zeppelin's John Bonham cited Appice for devising a new approach on the album. In a late-career interview with Goldmine Magazine, the latter explains, "Supposedly I had created this new power rock kind of drum style, which I did out of necessity. There were no real amplifiers back then, no PA systems. I had to bang the hell out of my drums and I even bought a 26-inch base drum because it would be louder."
Mobile Fidelity's meticulously engineered mono 45RPM edition of Vanilla Fudge brings such intensity and liveliness to the fore. Skip the candy aisle and secure your definitive copy of this cult classic today!
