Description
Straight out of Texas and wired into the DNA of American psychedelia, Bubble Puppy's 1969 debut A Gathering of Promises is back - remastered, restored, and ready to roar again.
Cut from the original analogue tapes, this definitive edition resurrects one of the great lost psychedelic albums of the late Sixties - all fuzz, fire, and soaring harmonies intact. When Bubble Puppy hit in 1967, they were the wild new breed of Texas rock: long hair, loud amps, and sky-high hooks. Signed to International Artists Records - home to the 13th Floor Elevators - the band struck gold with their debut single, the blistering "Hot Smoke & Sassafras." A Hendrix-charged rocket, it blasted to #14 on the U.S. charts in early '69 and lit the fuse for what came next. That "next" was A Gathering of Promises - a record that fused garage grit, trippy textures, and powerhouse harmonies into something all it's own. Brighter and more melodic than Easter Everywhere, yet tougher and leaner than anything coming out of the West Coast, it stands as a pure rush of late-'60s Texas energy - vivid, electric, and full of life. The expanded CD edition dives deeper into the trip, featuring all four of the band's singles - eight bonus tracks in total, including four non-album gems and two alternate mixes. With restored audio, original artwork, and immersive liner notes tracing the band's story, this is the definitive edition of one of the most electrifying albums ever to emerge from the Lone Star State's psychedelic frontier. More than fifty years on, A Gathering of Promises still sounds like the future.
