Keep the 18th Amendment.

The Chocolate Watchband was one of the greatest unknown bands of the 1960s. They had no hits, but they managaged to release a lot of great music. They had a garage band feel, with a singer who sounded like Mick Jagger. This was their first album, which was produced by Ed Cobb, who is best known for producing those great songs by the Standells. But I guess Mr. Cobb didn't have much faith in the Chocolate Watchband, because he replaced lead singer Dave Aguilar's vocals with black session singer Don Bennett on some songs. And he added two psychedlic instrumetals that didn't actually feature the Chocolate Watchband at all. But amazingly enough, the album actually turned out pretty well. It may not be the album the group wanted, but it is still a good listen. The CD features three bonus tracks. The alternate version of Wilson Pickett's "In The Midnight Hour" features Dave Aguilar's original vocal, before it was replaced by Don Bennett's voice. "Milk Cow Blues" is a Kinks-like version of an old Elvis song, which was unreleased until the 1980s. And "Psychedelic Trip" is a previously unreleased early version of "No Way Out". If you are a fan of "Nuggets" type music, you should enjoy this CD.
