Vejtables Reissue

[greenfuzz]

Will you be carrying this in the US, Chris?

 

[chas_kit]

Yes, I will, should have it in a week or two. I'll let everyone know. Thanks for asking.

 

[chas_kit]

If you want to preorder, just let me know, I'll send the invoice once I receive the records.

does it come with an ounce of free weed so one can stomach the sleeve?

just kidding, i like fresh design ideas. it's 2021, we can't be ripping the teen shutdown design forever..

 

[Hallucalation]

Is full Vejtables LP release will be coming? I though i heard something like that on FB

 

[greenfuzz]

I agree that cover is awful. It looks like those horrible GIFs former ‘60s musicians post on Facebook. There are several photos of the band available so use them. The Baytovens and Bummers sleeves were so well done that hopefully this is a placeholder.

Yeah! "Double-sided insert" looks incredible too!

Who needs those boring archive photos in 2021?

No photos of this particular lineup of the band seem to exist, which is why an 'art' cover was done instead.

There are no photos.
By the time of the session for"Hide Yourself" two ex members of the Preachers had joined. Only Bob Bailey remained from the original lineup. This version of "Hide Yourself" was sourced direct from the acetate disc. It was not the version included on the Vejetables compilation of unreleased recordings.

UGLY COVER ART

it would be totally ok if not for those stock images of musical instruments

for artwork, hiring a pro is rule number one.

but then, the two tracks are what is important. thanks to who ever put that out!

The folks behind Mojo Bone did not believe me,but the MIA Bob Bailey was one of the session and road musicians for 70s soul-pop stars, The Hues Corporation. Bailey toured with them as their drummer.

Jud Cost published this clipping from a newspaper ad (SF Examiner?) in Cream Puff War#2.
In april-may '66 the Vejtables performed at the Dragon a Go Go, exactly during those recording sessions at GSR. Bob Bailey - third from the top. Can anyone confirm if that Frank Smith above him?
