Morning Dew - Morning Dew (1970 Kansas, US) | Psych Rock / Garage Psych | Full Vinyl Rip

This is the self-titled LP by Morning Dew, released in 1970 on Roulette Records (SR-42049). The original pressing doesn’t list a title, but most collectors call it At Last... Morning Dew. This rip comes from my white label promo copy, and it plays great. The band started out as a Kansas garage group in the mid 60s, and their 1967 single “No More” even ended up on Pebbles Vol. 14. By the time they recorded this album in early 1969, they had fully moved into late 60s psychedelia. Fuzz guitar, organ, violin, harmonica, layered vocals, and a mix of moods that jump from garage-rooted psych to early heavy rock. Musically, this one lands somewhere between Love, Damnation of Adam Blessing, and Fraction. Some of the heavier parts lean toward Iron Butterfly. There are a few Doors-like moments with organ and moodier vocals, and at times the guitar tone even brushes up against a lighter Blue Cheer. It is a very Kansas take on psych rock, and that is part of the charm. The album was featured on page 226 of the Acid Archives. Originals on Roulette are not easy to find, and clean promo copies like this one are even tougher. A fun side note. When Morning Dew traveled to New York City to record the album, Roulette put them up at the Hotel Albert in Greenwich Village. Led Zeppelin happened to be staying there at the same time. Roulette supplied new equipment for the session, but the band never saw a dime from the label. If you are into fuzzed-out late 60s psych, garage-adjacent bands shifting into something bigger, or the deeper Midwest underground scene, this is a good one to spend time with. 📷 More vinyl on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vinyl_piper/ 🎧 Full vinyl rips playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj0yF7-9YQ9pEOi1yCUyAZikNmWVdz8Hn 🎧 My standout tracks: Crusaders Smile Gypsy Save Me — co-written by Kerry Livgren, who went on to found Kansas. 💿 Tracklist 00:00 Crusaders Smile 03:38 Upon Leaving 05:48 Young Man 08:16 Then Came The Light 12:27 Cherry Street 16:27 Gypsy 22:08 Something You Say 26:30 Country Boy Blue 29:09 Save Me 32:45 The Mann 35:02 Death Is A Dream #MorningDew #RouletteRecords #KansasPsych #WhiteLabelPromo #GaragePsych #PsychedelicRock #1970Vinyl #AcidArchives #RareVinyl #VinylRip #FuzzGuitar #UndergroundRock #KerryLivgren #VinylCommunity #VinylPiper
