Them - Angry Young Them - VINYL LP

Limited vinyl LP repressing. The Angry Young Them is the first album from the Northern Irish rock and roll group Them. The album was released in the UK in June 1965. The band's lead singer and songwriter was Van Morrison. In the U.S., the album was released as Them with partly different tracks. Six of the songs on the album were Morrison originals, including the famous garage band anthem InchGloriaInch. Another song on the album, InchMystic EyesInch, was a spontaneous creation that came out of the band just Inchbusking aroundInch in Morrison's words and after seven minutes of instrumental playing he impulsively threw in the words of a song he had been working on. InchYou Just Can't WinInch was a Dylan inspired song about a gold digger, set in specific places in London such as Camden Town. InchLittle GirlInch was about a boy's obsession with a fourteen-year-old school girl (an earlier take on Lord's Taverners charity album had been deleted when a four-letter word was heard in the fade out at the end). InchIf You And I Could Be As TwoInch starts with a spoken introduction by Morrison with an aggressive Irish accent. Three Bert Berns originals were included and a cover of John Lee Hooker's InchDon't Look BackInch was considered by Morrison to be his finest vocal to date. Album Tracks 1. Mystic Eyes 2.
