 | This album was recorded by the usual Challengers studio line up including Paul Johnson - lead guitar, Hal Blaine - drums, Art Fisher - rhythm guitar, John Anderson - guitar, Buzz Carre - bass, Phil Pruden -sax, Steve Douglas - sax, and Jim Roberts - piano. It was originally issued on GNP Crescendo as the Good Guys, not the Challengers. The early eighties saw the re-release on vinyl by GNP as by the Challengers, and the nineties found it issued in Japan on CD, both with the artwork crediting the Challengers on the front, and the Good Guys on the back. It is a fairly tame set, not as inspired as the other Challengers records, with different guitar tones (mostly non-surf), and including many of the songs also appear on other Challengers records, though not the same recordings. A nice piece of history, though not essential, especially at the price of Japanese CD's. |
