CD Reviews

Dated but GREAT
Human Capote | kansas City, Mo USA | 12/29/2004
(4 out of 5 stars)

"This was the first rock band I saw live...way back in about 1969. They opened for Creedence Clearwater Revival in Kansas City. They blew CCR off the stage. CCR were slow and boring compared to these guys. The lead guitarist was down on one knee for most of the show...psychedelic leads screaming. Heavy Metal's beginnings. When I saw them they were promoting this album. They were better live than in the studio but it's still a must have."
Neglected Classic 60's Rock
Lawrence A. Strid | Mission Viejo, CA | 03/03/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"The Litter were a garage band with an early hit called "Action Woman" that is featured on the Nuggets box set, a must have 4 CD set of early sixties psychedelica. They progressed into a more hard-edged proto-metal band in the late sixties with a style somewhat reminiscent of Blue Cheer's second album or the MC5's first live album. Emerge reaches the apogee of their development with this release, which features ear-shattering guitar work, great lead vocals, and a drummer (Tom Murray, what happened to you?) who utilizes a double-bass kit with an expertise akin to a Paul Whaley or a Ginger Baker. His drum solo on the extended cut "Future Of The Past" is phenomenal. If you are a fan of this kind of music you will thrive on this. Just their cover tune of "Little Red Book" (which was penned by Burt Bacharach), and which makes the cover by Love pale by comparison, is worth the price of this album."
Truly under the radar

"You have heard drum solos like "Ina-gada-da-vida" by Iron Butterfly, "The Mule" Deep Purple's "Made In Japan" version, "Rat Salad" by Black Sabbath , However If you ever get a chance to hear The Litter's drum solo on "Future of the Past", It will not only open your eyes, It also will demand your attention! Somebody please tell me why these guys didn't get an invite to Woodstock '69?"
