The Litter Trilogy: Distortions, $100 Fine & Emerge (1967-1969 Original Vinyl | Minneapolis Psych)

Tonight we are celebrating the absolute kings of Minneapolis rock and roll: The Litter. This stream features a back-to-back deep dive into their three essential studio albums, tracing their evolution from the definitive garage-rock "snarl" to the heavy, proto-metal frontiers of the late 60s. We start with the 1967 landmark Distortions. Featuring the legendary "Action Woman," this album is a masterclass in fuzz-tone aggression and Midwest garage-psych. From there, we move into the 1968 follow-up $100 Fine, where the band heads into darker, more experimental "Acid Rock" territory with the blistering lead guitar of Zippy Caplan. Finally, we spin Emerge (1969), the album where The Litter traded the garage for the arena, delivering a heavy, blues-based hard rock sound that predicted the rise of American Heavy Metal.
