The liner notes call FUSE a very promising group, and no truer words were
ever spoken! Guitarist Rick Nielsen, (fresh from filling in for Jeff Beck
in The Yardbirds while they made arrangements to pick up Jimmy Page), and
Bassist Tom Peterson, both went on as founding members of the wildly successful
pop group, CHEAP TRICK. In this group, originally called The Grim Reapers,
the multi-talented Rick also performs on the Mellotron, and Organ. Other
band members include Craig Meyers; Chip Greenman; and Joe Sundberg. The
songs were produced by Jackie Mills for Wednesday's Child Productions: Across
The Skies; Permanent Resident; Show Me; To Your Health; In A Window; 4/4,
3/4; Sad Day; and Mystery Ship. The liner notes go on to say that "FUSE
is move music. They'll make your blood rush, your head swarm, and your body
dance. One cannot help but admire how musically tight and energetically
organized this album is, nor their remarkable control in exerting such high
voltage rock and roll in such a tasty array of instrumental extravagance
and vocal savagery." Wow, now that's what I call liner note overload!! This
is an ORIGINAL 1970 STEREO pressing on EPIC RECORDS (BN-26502), and jacket,
labels & vinyl all appear in overall beautiful EXcellent condition!
