Hunger! - Colors b/w Mind Machine (1969 US) | Portland Psych | Full 45 Rip

Ed King played the lead guitar on this song. Most of his playing came off the record before it was pressed, and this is the version that came out. The 1969 promo on Public! 1001, both sides stamped PROMOTIONAL COPY and NOT FOR SALE. Both songs are on the album Strictly From Hunger. On the 1968 test pressing Colors runs 3:35. On this 45 it runs 2:00, so more than a third of the song is gone. Mastering by Marty Cerf, produced by Jim Pettinotti and Joe Koistra out of Hollywood. Hunger were a six piece from Portland, Oregon: Mike Lane, John Morton, Steve Hansen, Tom Tanory, Mike Parkinson and Willy Daffern. By 1968 they were in Los Angeles playing the Whisky a Go Go, the Cheetah and the Kaleidoscope, and for a while they put out records under two names at once, as Hunger and as The Touch. Ed King and Gene Gunnels of the Strawberry Alarm Clock both played on their sessions. King later joined Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Daffern went on to front Captain Beyond in place of Deep Purple's Rod Evans. 0:00 Colors 2:03 The flip 2:23 Mind Machine Want to hear it with the guitars still on it: 1968 test pressing mix, Void 1998 reissue: https://youtu.be/DVSYglTO3qk The 1969 album: https://youtu.be/c90xheWfZ8I Credit where it is owed.
