Popis - GROOVIE GOOLIES / FRANKEN-GREEN VINYL -COLOURED- [VINYL]:
When Filmation Studios landed a late-'60s hit with the Saturday morning cartoon TV show 'The Archies', it wasn't long before it started looking for more "sugar" with a similarly music-themed
follow-up. Inspired by the success of such shows as 'The Munsters' and 'The Addams Family', penned by a couple of writers for Laugh-In, and featuring the voice of F-Troop's
Larry Storch, 'Groovie Goolies' first aired in September 1970 as a pairing with 'The Archies' spin-off 'Sabrina, The Teenage Witch'. Though it only lasted 16 episodes, the 'Groovie Goolies' cult lasts to this day (even inspiring the name
of the S.F. punk band The Groovie Ghoulies). Why? One guess... the music! Just like 'The Archies' did with Andy Kim, Ron Dante
and Jeff Barry, 'Groovie Goolies' brought A-list talent to the task of composing and performing two songs for every episode, including Dick Monda and, for this album, Sherry Gayden and
Janet Martin a.k.a. Richard Delvy and Ed Fournier of the surf-rock band The Challengers (that's Fournier dressed as Wolfie on the back cover). And playing in the band: legendary guitarist Larry Carlton and Elvis Presley bassist Ron Tutt! The whole record has a very Archies vibe with some very groovy, er, groovie touches, like the fuzztone guitar on 'Save Your Good
Lovin' for Me,' the wah-wah on 'Frankie' and even some sitar. Little wonder, then, that original copies of this 1970 record trade for big bucks. RGM's first-ever vinyl reissue of 'Groovie Goolies' comes in Franken-Green vinyl limited to 500 copies.
