Rising Storm, The
I'm Coming Home
7" (penniman)
For the benefit of those who may not know about the Rising Storm or have never heard their work: in brief, they were six Phillips Academy students from Andover, Massachusetts, who formed a high school garage band that performed from 1965 to 1967 and, within this brief time, recorded an amazing album called "Calm Before". The release of this 45 has been timed to honor the 50th Anniversary of the 1965 inception of the band. It contains two of the most powerful original numbers on the album, "I'm Coming Home" and "She Loved Me". This single is the only authorized vinyl pressing of these two numbers since the original 1967 "Holy Grail" release of Calm Before (when only 500 LPs were pressed) and it is also the only 45 ever released of the Rising Storms music. Remastered sound, beautiful hard cardboard sleeve w/ never seen pics and liner notes by Greg Prevost. Limited edition of 400 copies!
"Essentially, it’s teenbeat perfection. This kind of “reimagined singles in picture sleeves” are hugely worthwhile and an enticing proposition for all garage deejays’ record boxes".
