EDGE on Nose Records from 1970, gatefold unipak in amazing STILL SEALED condition! Very cool downer Heavy Psych with wild fuzz leads and great use of Hammond organ! Forget what Vernon Joynson says about this LP, it's quite in the vein of stuff like Brigade, It's All Meat, Hunger and similar heavy rippers. Manic vocals ala Sir Lord Baltimore, Granicus and the like.
60s: You
then joined Edge…
JK: I was
a member of Edge off and on for three years. After we left The
American Revolution, Richard, Dave and I hooked up with two guys we had met
in Honolulu - Bob and Eddie (can't remember their last names). They
came to Los Angeles, and we hooked up with a producer named Norm Malkin, and
recorded and released a single, written by Richard and myself. It was
called "Something New" b/w "Seen Through the Eyes"
(which is available on one of the Pebbles CDs). Eddie and Bob left,
and were replaced by a guy named Barry McCoy, who played organ (circa 1969).
Donnie Branker came back to manage us. We recorded an album for Norm,
but he couldn't place it, and eventually we broke up. We did open for
Three Dog Night and Sweetwater. About a year later, in 1970,Richard
called me to say that he'd been recording with Dave and a British bass
player, but the bass player had had to go back to England. He asked if
I’d like to join them? I said okay, but I wasn't playing much bass.
I joined as guitarist/keyboard, and played a little bass. We then
found a guy named Galen Murphy who could play bass. We finished that
album and released it through Nose Records, an independent label, but it was
a terrible album. There were too many different styles,
and a terrible mix. I left the group soon after and got married.
