Formed from the group Art (vocalist Mike Harrison, guitarist Luther Grosvenor, bassist Greg Ridley and drummer Mike Kellie) who came to the attention of Chris Blackwell. He suggested adding American-in-London keyboard player Gary Wright – and Spooky Tooth were born. Offering a heady brew of heavy blues and soul and being much loved by the underground in the late 60s, they are ripe for rediscovery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRecorded at Olympic and produced by Jimmy Miller, their debut album, It's All About today is like hearing a missing link: Powerful soul-tinged rock, suffused with an incredible sweetness, on their originals and judiciously selected covers. Released in June 1968. It contained a version of Bob Dylan's basement tape Too Much Of Nothing, a blistering take on the Nashville Teens Tobacco Road and, of the originals, the Jimmy Miller-Gary Wright co-write It's About A Roundabout could almost be northern soul with its driving beat. It's All About is a lovely, often surprising, album to revisit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Proper Records","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50433275756875,"sku":"1104080","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Its_All_About_3d01972a_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726878409"},{"product_id":"spooky-two-3","title":"Spooky Two","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis re-issue of the \u003cem\u003eSpooky Tooth\u003c\/em\u003e's second album replicates the original 1969 Island Records UK release and is pressed onto heavyweight 180g vinyl housed in a gatefold sleeve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eReleased in March 1969, \u003cem\u003eSpooky Two\u003c\/em\u003e was heavier and less quirky than the group's debut.
