CD Reviews

Freakbeaty
DW | chicago, IL | 01/09/2007
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Each song on Five Day Week Straw People drips with garage-psych gooeyness. From the opening bars of Five Day Week Straw People you know what your in for. Acid fuzz guitar licks, saturated vocal reverb, tripped out drums, booming bass guitar and upside-down sound effects. It's all here.



The nine Attack tracks included are less psychedelic but more freakbeaty. Oustanding cuts include Gold Digger, Magic in the Air, Too Old, Go Your Way and Five Day Week Straw People.

The REAL FDWSP
Craig Shropshire | 05/14/2009
(3 out of 5 stars)

"The Editorial Review was taken from info provided with this BOOTLEG that was being sold by Akarma (a 'grey area' label). This unauthorized re-issue was withdrawn after a lawsuit against the session guitarist (DuCann) who released it as a double album (adding his Attack album to the original FDWSP album by Guy & David.

The Five Day Week Straw People was formed by David Montague & Guy Mascolo (recently deceased). They composed the songs & it was THEIR band. (For this wretched BOOTLEG, DuCann even removed their names from the original cover art & composer credits !).

This "re-issue" is a rip off ! DO NOT BUY IT.



An authorized , legit CD reissue has been released by England`s Cherry Red label . Seek THAT one out . It has glorious sound, and packaging (with lots of photos & extensive liner notes).



R.I.P. Guy Mascolo (1944-2009)
