The CD includes three bonus tracks, including a live recording of their 1990 concert on the riverfront in Keokuk, Iowa. The final track on the CD is the original recording of "Pretty Girl" by Urban Discipline, a band that includes the son of drummer Dave Johnson. Release historyThis album was released in the CD format by MCCM Records in 1996, with a catalogue number #MCCM-9602; and in the LP format by CME Records, also in 1996, with a catalogue number of #KE/LP 12001. Nature of the musicThis is actually the first album released by GONN and consists of all new material, although there is a snippet of their classic "Blackout of Gretely" at the end of "Fellow Slave". They had previously released two singles in 1966 and 1967, along with other unreleased songs in this time period; these have been collected on several retrospective albums, including a CD that was issued contemporaneously with this album, Frenzology. The first true reunion of the band occurred at a riverfront concert in 1990; one of the three bonus tracks on the CD is a performance from that concert. Although other garage rock bands have reformed and released albums in recent years – the Litter and the Outsiders as examples – GONN is unusual in that their reputation rests essentially on a single 1966 song, "Blackout of Gretely", which is considered by many to be among the greatest tracks in the entire garage rock genre. For instance, while acknowledging that "'Blackout of Gretely' is without doubt one of the Top 10 great punk records of all time",[1] Greg Shaw says of the band that it was a "typical garage band . . . [that] played a lot of Standells, Stones, Kinks, etc. [covers and] were better than most bands of the day".[2] Besides the obscurity of the band, this album differs from many reunion albums that have been released over the years in the exuberance shown by the musicians, who are most definitely not just going through the motions. The tracks include many covers, including familiar songs by the Animals ("When I Was Young") and the Byrds ("I'll Feel a Whole Lot Better"), along with others that were originally by other mid-1960s garage-rock bands: "Fellow Slave" (originally by the Stone Cutters) and "Found Love" (originally by the Fly-by-Nites). (The original version of the latter song can be found on Highs in the Mid-Sixties, Volume 8). The original songs include "In the Wind", written as a tribute to garage-rock fans everywhere and created especially for this album. A 40th year reunion album is being prepared (as of mid-2007). Liner notesBesides the extensive listing of credits, each of the bandmembers has their own comments on a page in the CD booklet, along with "then and now" photos and comments on the songs on the new album. The heartfelt joy at being able to record an album together after so many years is palpable in all of their entries:[3]
