Davie Allan (King Fuzz)-Cycle-Delic (1967) ( 5)

Davie Allan http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davie_Allan Hear him make the guitar talk at 2:48. Reminds me of Bo's "Mumblin' Guitar" circa 1959. The Wah Wah Fuzz is outstanding and it sounds like he uses a bow on his guitar during this song.
Allan's most notable contribution is the creation of the fuzz sound. While Link Wray was the pioneer of guitar distortion, Allan pushed it to a new level, distorting his signal so much as to give his guitar tone a buzzing, grinding quality: "fuzzy." Guitar sounds along similar lines would become a staple of 1970s rock and Allan's penchant for extreme, heavy, noisy guitar work displayed on tracks like "Devil's Rumble," "Cycle-Delic" and "King Fuzz" presaged 1980s acts like Sonic Youth.

Davie. Your sound, your feel is like no one else alive. You've still got it too. Your latest disk is ferocious. Long may you reign as the King of Fuzz Freak-outs.

[MKdulltra]

It's really dumb that you can watch this on youtube but you cannot embed or share on facebook. What's the logic? That's just less people who will hear the greatness of Davie Allan. WTF!!

My dad has had the album since 1967. I recently scored it, and it is in great condition! I grew up with it around and never listened to it until this month, and then had my socks rocked right off!
