Take My Soul by Pugsley Munion (1970)



Fitchburg, Massachusetts' own Pugsley Munion spent two days in 1970 recording songs for their first full length album. After laying down the basic tracks, they spent some time planning on how to mix the album and to finalize the artwork that would best reflect their psych-blues style.

Much to their surprise, though, the record company just released the basic tracks with some random artwork because they just wanted get some music out there as quick as possible. Apparently, the label was in trouble and wanted a hit quickly. The band tried to stop this and release the music their way, but they were not successful.

The band stayed together for awhile after the initial album was not a commercial success, but eventually broke up. Despite all of the record company drama, this is some blistering blues rock.
