Derek Paul –Drugtaker/Riverboat –Young Blood International YB 1008 (1972 UK)
Lyrically Drugtaker is pretty ineffective as an anti-drug song, however the track is a sumptuous Spectorian Psych/Pop number with an arrangement swamped in echo and incredibly loud timbales that recall Pet Sounds’ Waiting For The Day. Although it came out in ’72, the sound is pure ‘68, so it could well have been a master that was hanging for a few years that Miki Dallon simply resurrected (as with Kidrock’s Ice Cream Man) for his revamped Young Blood label.
