A Group Called Smith / Minus Plus

• Track Listing

Digitally remastered two-fer containing a pair of albums from the cult rockers. Smith were discovered in an LA nightclub by none other than Del Shannon, who got them signed to ABC-Dunhill and arranged their smash hit cover of 'Baby, It's You'. They also boasted one of the best albeit largely unknown female singers of the '60s in the person of Gayle McCormick, who, with her blonde good looks and powerful, bluesy voice, seemed destined to lead Smith to big things (she did go on to record a series of solo albums for Dunhill). However, the band broke up after these two albums, and while the first album was reissued on a long out-of-print (and now very expensive) CD, the second album has never been reissued in any format until now. Remastered by Maria Triana at Battery Studios in NYC, with liner notes by Richie Unterberger and added photos. One of the missing links in the late-'60s LA scene!
