Always mentioned in the same breath as the South Bay's hallowed trio-the Syndicate Of Sound, the Chocolate Watchband and Count Five-the Mourning Reign has been woefully under-represented on wax-until now. We've recently uncovered three powerful 1967 cover versions-the Who's "Run, Run, Run," Cream's "Tales Of Brave Ulysses" and Love's "Signed D.C."-to complete a package combining the band's first, ultra-rare Contour single "Evil-Hearted You"/"Get Out Of My Life, Woman" with all of the fuzz-drenched Golden State Recorders material, like "Satisfaction Guaranteed" and "Our Fate." Mourning Reign guitarist Steve Canali uncorks the band's story on the sleeve, assuring that you (and Dionne Warwick) will never again forget the way to San Jose.

Thanks RYP, these guys produced a really distinctive sound. It's a shame their recorded history consists of so few songs. Great listen, thanks again.
SOunds interesting.
Thanks- I look forward to hearing it.
