Mississippi US レコード& CD

Review: It's amazing to think the now-legendary Fred Cole and his Weeds comrades were forced to change their band name for fear of marijuana references. Rising to prominence in the mid-late-1960s, long before the main man would find himself on the honorary list of garage rock greats (not that this period didn't contribute to that), management and labels deemed it a much better idea to release his music under The Lollipop Shoppe, which is how Just Colour saw the light of day.
One quick listen proves how unsuitable that decision was, with the contents of this highly sought after boxset anything but the bubblegum those misguided but powerful minds wanted to cash in on. Presented with two reconfigured 7" singles alongside the full album - the idea being to give fans all the essential cuts in one - it's a stunning way to remember we should never, or rarely, listen to The Industry.
