Stack - Above All (1969/1997) | Heavy Psychedelic / Hard Rock | Full Vinyl Rip

Stack - Above All. Originally released in 1969 on the tiny Charisma label (US). This rip is from the 1997 Void Records reissue, which finally gave this legendary "Holy Grail" a proper limited, numbered release after decades in obscurity. To call the 1969 original "limited" is an understatement. For years, the first pressing of Above All was considered one of the rarest artifacts of the American psychedelic era, with only a handful of copies known to exist. Recorded at Sunset Sound in Los Angeles, Stack was a band that bridged the gap between the fuzzed-out garage sound of the mid-60s and the crushing hard rock of the early 70s. While they shared stages with giants like Iron Butterfly and Led Zeppelin, their own recorded legacy nearly vanished due to the original label's collapse. This is a masterclass in "L.A. Heavy." It’s an aggressive, organ-drenched, fuzz-laden assault led by Rick Gould’s blistering guitar and Bill Sheppard’s soulful vocals. From their massive, mutated cover of "Poison Ivy" to the sprawling, heavy-blues epic "Da Blues," this record captures the raw power of the 1969 underground. This Void Records reissue remains the definitive way to hear the album, preserved from the original master tapes to keep that 1969 punch intact. 🔥 Standout Tracks Poison Ivy: Forget the pop versions—this is a fuzzed-out, high-octane threat that redefines the track as a hard rock anthem. Da Blues: A 7-minute powerhouse showcasing the band's incredible chemistry and improvisational grit. Everyday: A haunting, atmospheric piece that proves they could handle melodic psych just as well as the heavy riffs. 🎸 Sounds Like: The Who: Specifically the raw, "Maximum R&B" power of their Live at Leeds era. Jimi Hendrix Experience: For the heavy, improvisational fuzz-blues guitar work. Led Zeppelin: The driving, heavy-blues foundations of their first album. Deep Purple: Early Mark I era energy with heavy Hammond organ. 💿 Tracklist 00:00 Poison Ivy 03:21 Only Forever 06:54 Da Blues 13:52 Cars 17:31 Everyday 24:23 Valleys 27:13 Time Seller 32:18 Hot Days 33:36 Do It 📷 Follow me on Instagram for more vinyl rips: https://www.instagram.com/vinyl_piper/ 🎧 Full vinyl rips playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj0yF7-9YQ9pEOi1yCUyAZikNmWVdz8Hn 🎸 Shop rare vinyl, psych, bootlegs, reissues, and concert posters from my personal collection: 👉 https://vinylpipershop.com/ #vinylrip #stackband #aboveall #heavypsych #1969 #vinylpiper #hardrock #lapshych #voidrecords #fuzzrock #rarevinyl
