Impressed by their heavy-rocking, trippy and psychedelic version of THE SUPREMES' "You Keep Me Hangin' On", Morton offered to record the song as a single. In early 1967, THE PIGEONS manager Phil Basile convinced producer George "Shadow" Morton (producer for THE SHANGRI-LAS and Janis Ian),to catch their live act. THE PIGEONS immediately drafted drummer and vocalist Carmine Appice, a disciple of the renowned Joe Morello ( DAVE BRUBECK BAND) and a seasoned veteran of the club scene. In late 1966, drummer Joey Brennan moved out to the West Coast. Inspired by groups such as THE RASCALS and THE VAGRANTS (fronted by guitarist Leslie West of MOUNTAIN fame), THE PIGEONS reworked many of their own existing arrangements of covers to reflect their unique interpretation of this "East Coast Sound." The East Coast, in particular New York and New Jersey, created a sound all its own. In early 1966, the group recorded a set of eight demos that were released several years later as "While the World Was Eating Vanilla Fudge". They built a following by gigging extensively up and down the East Coast and earned extra money by providing freelance in-concert backing for hit-record girl groups. Originally, VANILLA FUDGE was a blue-eyed soul cover band called THE PIGEONS, formed in New Jersey in 1965 with organist Mark Stein, bassist Tim Bogert, drummer Joey Brennan and guitarist, vocalist and U.S. VANILLA FUDGE was one of the first American groups to infuse psychedelia into heavy rock sound to create "psychedelic symphonic rock," an eclectic genre which would, among its many offshoots, eventually morph into heavy metal.Īlthough, at first, the band did not record original material, they were best known for their dramatic heavy, slowed-down arrangements of contemporary pop songs which they developed into works of epic proportion. ![]() We are excited to release the new remastered LED ZEPPELIN and SUPREMES albums over the next 12 months."

This was their first album with mostly original material. Considering they had the main song 'You Keep Me Hangin' On' in the recent Quentin Tarantino movie 'Once Upon A Time In Hollywood', it shows you their legacy will continue for some time yet. Renaissance is the third album by American rock band Vanilla Fudge. Mark Alexander-Erber, president and founder of Golden Robot, said: " GRR is honored to have such a classic band on the label. I did the vocals in Florida and sent it back to Carmine in Los Angeles and he mixed it. Carmine did a great job with the drum track and Tim and Vince killed it. Vanilla Fudge looked like British Invasion wannabes in ill-fitting mod outfits. The guys fell into it right quick and it rocks the house. Polly sighed as I perused the album cover. I came up with this 'On Green Dolphin Street' kinda chord progression as the intro on the synth with a heavy-duty brass sound that worked pretty well. How do you top that? Well, you can't, but we decided to just have fun with it. Parts of the original stereo LP were actually mixed in mono, including the entire track 'You Keep Me Hangin' On'. The album was Vanilla Fudge's most successful, peaking at 6 on the Billboard album charts in November 1967. Released in summer 1967, it consists entirely of half-speed covers and three short original instrumental compositions. VANILLA FUDGE's Mark Stein said: " 'Immigrant Song' by LED ZEPPELIN is one of the monster tracks of all time. Vanilla Fudge is the first album by the American psychedelic rock band Vanilla Fudge. "The Supreme Vanilla Fudge" will feature all four original members: Mark Stein, Carmine Appice, Vinnie Martel and Tim Bogert (who no longer tours but will appear on a few tracks on the record),along with touring bassist Pete Bremy. VANILLA FUDGE will release a new album in 2021, "The Supreme Vanilla Fudge", which will see them rework 10 songs from the legendary THE SUPREMES done in the classic FUDGE way. ![]() To celebrate this announcement, the band will drop a remastered version of its cover of LED ZEPPELIN's "Immigrant Song" on September 22. Legendary rockers VANILLA FUDGE have inked a deal with Golden Robot Records.
