THE FIRST
RELEASES
A one-off 7 inch by ZiP
Recording Artists Stratocuiser will mark the first release on
Just Plain Lucky even though it will technically be under the
Purple Cat Records subsidiary. Stratocruiser has become a critically-acclaimed
band that stradles garage, power pop, 70's arena rock and psychedelia
with equal aplomb. The single "Smell of Success" is
a track that truly encapsulates the bands' sound in 3:20. "Guitar-driven,
jangly verses that could have been part of the Byrds/Electric
Prunes/Spirit/Standells garage-rock revolution. Only it isn't
marred by muddy production or excess vocal distortion" -
Berkely Place
Look for "Smell of Success"
