THE STAMPLETONS - early tapes DoLP
Formed
in 2009, the Stampletons is a 60´s style Beat band from Belarus.
Shortly afterwards they released a first album as a limited local
edition.
Everything
about the band was right – the clothes, the haircuts, the sound, the
attidude and as a first appreciation the Russian band the Cavestompers
invited them to play a show in Moscow. Not only that but one year later
they recorded their 2nd album live at the Doo-Dah King bar, Minsk, which
never saw the light of day and soon after this recordings the band
fractured.
This double vinyl here is an almost definitive over-view of the bands early recordings.
Featuring
a crystal-clear sound and lyrics about spring, girls, love and without
any vulgarity or affectation they have laid down some mighty pure
Beat/R&B/British Mod sounds.
The
first disc features the bands debut album of distinctive 60´s sound in
the vein of early The Kinks, The Action, Small Faces, The Who and of
course the Beatles, with chirpy vocals by Alex Stampleton being
reminiscient of Steve Marriot or Ray Davies in their best days.
The
second disc features the previously unheard songs from their unreleased
2nd album of pure amphetamine fuelled excitement from the first minute
to the last.
Comes in deluxe gatefold edition w/ extensive sleeve notes, lyrics & photos.
rom the first minute to the last.
But wait.... The Stampletons are back on the map today!
They’ve
changed their line up a bit and their sound is now more embedded in
60´s psychedelia and baroque pop. Best of all they’ve already got the
attention of British producer Fran Ashcroft. To be continued!
