Then And Now

Vanilla Fudge - They are on the short list of the heaviest bands ever to hit the charts, which they did eight times. They are also quite possibly the greatest cover band of all time, with their version of the Supremes You Keep Me Hangin On easily among the most inventive covers ever recorded. The missing link between psychedelia and heavy metal. They are Vanilla Fudge, and this 22-track collection is the first dedicated to their classic singles. Composed of organist Mark Stein, guitarist Vince Martell, and the superstar rhythm section of bassist Tim Bogert and drummer Carmine Appice (who went on to form Cactus and play with Jeff Beck, Rod Stewart, etc.), Vanilla Fudge teamed with legendary producer Shadow Morton (Shangri-Las, New York Dolls) to record their first three albums including You Keep Me Hangin On, Season of the Witch Parts 1 & 2, Take Me for a Little While and She's Not There.
