Ohio Express - Beg, Borrow & Steel / Ohio Express [1968 bubblegum pop garage] CD To Mp3 256 mbit/s Included: CD Covers and this Info Together since high school, the Ohio Express were the ultimate bubblegum band. Their lead singer,Joey Levine , sang like he had a huge wad of bubblegum in his mouth. His super nasal vocals are a bubblegum trademark. The band played tense go-go grooves with chug-chug-chug-chug-chug-chug-chug-chug guitars & roller rink keyboards. Compared to most bubblegum bands, the Ohio Express were HEAVY. Their biggest hit, "Yummy Yummy Yummy" is the foundation of power pop. It's opening riff has been borrowed by everyone from the Cars to Judas Priest. During their 1968 - 69 heyday, the group put out several albums and a ton of singles for BUDDAH RECORDS including "Sweeter Than Sugar", "Mercy" and "Down at Lu-Lu's". Kasenetz, Katz and Levine kept sticking together hit after hit for the Express as its membership constantly mutated. In fact, the band pictured here were not the original band that recorded the first Express single, "Beg Borrow and Steal". The "OHIO EXPRESS" album is particularly interesting. The album features just two Levine/Super K - produced songs. The rest of the album is filled out with the band's own material which ranges from bubblegummy pop to freakout psychedelic space-rock. Of course, the real fun can be found in the 45s. While "Chewy Chewy" and "Mercy" continue in the "Yummy Yummy" vein, B-sides like the backwards instrumental "Zig-Zag", and the super-funky-soulful "Roll It Up" suggest that too much bubblegum may lead to drug use! Other weirdness occours on the single "Peanuts" (say it a few times fast and you'll get the idea). The Ohio Express still play today & can be booked thru the Mars Talent Agency. They even have a new single out called "Goody Goody"! The new singer sounds a lot like Joey & the original Express guitarist, Douglass Grassel also plays with the group on special occasions.
