i got nothing on these guys , but this recording is amazing.
tons of fuzz & organ & some brass !
the drum sound on this is amazing , i love it...
the vocals are really good , great harmonies .
this has sunshine & shadows.
has a real trippy narrated intro about the "giant crab that is coming forth" , its hilarious.
during the intro it mentions all the trax in a short story , as such.
no throw away trax on this , grab it while its hot !
i dunno if this is on cd yet , i ripped this from my vinyl copy @ 192 kbs.
please let me know if you enjoy this !
thanks !

Hey, just found your blog. It's great! Thank.
I greatly enjoy this album!
Great album - well worth trying out. Also, nice blog!!
thank you thank you thank you!!!!
this is one of the first albums I owned as a kid. I am really happy to find this on your blog.
Thanks.
Just saw the cd today.For the first time.But the price pissed me.30 USD.
As you may know Orosco is aka Ernie Joseph of "Big Brother "Fame (not Joplin's brother).
Anyways.Thanks
I really enjoyed this album.
A couple songs are kinda paralising. Thank you very much.

Awesome sauce! Thanks so much.
I loaned my Giant Crab album to a thief named Margery in 1978. I have been searching for another ever since... had to up looking back in the early 1990s. I just got tired of people telling me that It didn't exist.
Thank you for restoring a small denied chip of my life.
I tried the mp3 link and it is expired.

Your blog keeps getting better and better! Your older articles are not as good as newer ones you have a lot more creativity and originality now keep it up!
Amazing. Thank you.
Hi !
I have found your blog a few days ago

A lot of rarities on one place...can't believe...

and one thing that is amazing-a lot of comments...I've been to a lot of blogs but never seen so much comments...
I have downloaded a few albums and after listen to them.i'm gonna put my comments...
All the best
OldHippy
P.S. : And of course-thank you for sharing your music to other people...
That blog is so interesting. I must say that at first I thought it would be a waste of time, but after reading your post was impressed with its quality. I just hope that over time you continue maintaining the same quality, and most of the same passion at the time of writing.
I was staring at the picture that you posted there with a shape of a crab and I liked it so much especially the little fire crab!
hey, it's great to see the love for giant crab here! good news, both their albums are out on cd now (early 2012)! there's also a movie coming out about them (the orosco brothers).
wow, the comment thread that won't die ... six years after the original post!
this album is just that great! (and i am just a fan, not with the band! i wish.)
I saw these guys many times at the Vandenberg AFB Youth Center in the 60's. They had a great show.
