Sound Camera release #2 The Covingtons blasted onto the Detroit scene in 1988. The 3 piece band featured Freddy Fortune, later of “Fortune & Maltese”, Johnny Chan, later to start “Johnny Chan & The New Dynasty Six”, and Greg Boes of “ Fester”. All had served time in earlier punk style groups, however, it’s the Covingtons that first gave the Motor City a kick in it’s 80’s heavy metal ass. With a deep love and inspiration for all things 66/67, the band started to make a name for them selves but never did get to put out that promised record. Due to many group member changes and the wise decision to buy a hearse with their band fund, all recordings were shelved. Now 22 years later 4 tracks make their vinyl debut.
The record consists of all known recordings made by the first two line ups of the group. Side A consists of a snotty original “I Hate You Baby” that would have been right at home on one of the early “Killed by Death” compilations. The other is a cover of the ultra obscure Pebbles classic “Red Light” by the Sands of Time.
Side B contains recordings of their 2nd line up when Farfisa player, Debbie Berne, joined in on the action. One Trashed Out studio cut of a Texas punk classic and a live version of “I Hate You Baby”. Get it Now, Only 400 Copies pressed, full color cardboard sleeve!!! Includes a 4 page insert with interviews, flyers and band pictures!!!
