White Lightning - Thunderbolts Of Fuzz - [Vinyl]

Standout favorites of RidingEasy Records� Brown Acid compilation series, White Lightning�s stellar discography of rare and under-appreciated heavy psych, proto-metal rock gets a vital revival for new generations to learn how swinging, swaggering and often blazingly fast rock�n�roll is done.White Lightning was formed in Minneapolis, MN in 1968 by guitarist Tom �Zippy� Caplan and bassist Woody Woodrich after leaving garage psych band The Litter (themselves popular standouts from the Nuggets and Pebbles series of garage rock rarities.) Originally a power trio, the band later expanded to a 5-piece in 1969 while shortening its name to Lightning. The quintet�s brilliant and rare 1970 self-titled album on Pickwick International�s P.I.P. imprint provides 6 of the 10 tracks on Thunderbolts of Fuzz.The original White Lightning trio only released one 45-rpm single �Of Paupers and Poets� during their existence (on local Hexagon label in 1968, later reissued by major label ATCO Records in 1969.) A long out-of-print posthumous album released in 1995 gathered unreleased recordings, 3 of which are found here. This rounds out this collection of recorded highlights from the band�s rocky history.
