It just didn’t work out the way they thought it would.Īnyways, I thought this was weird and had to share. With the pop sound of Centerfold being a huge success for the band (and being written by Seth Justman, who was the lead singer / writer for the Odd album), it makes perfect sense that this album happened. So it could have been better!Īlmost 40 years later, with the band’s namesake guitarist dead and the band long split up, it’s interesting in retrospect to see how this album came to be. That said, critics absolutely hated the album and it was the end of the band. I keep coming back to it because it’s so…odd. It’s very of it’s time, with lots of gated reverb and is bursting at the seams with synthesizer sounds, but i actually kinda like it. Why were they different? Did they realize the album sounded better pitched up down the road? Was it a mistake in the vinyl pressing? It’s strange.įinally, the lyrics are…interesting. Geils Band / d e a l z / was an American rock band formed in 1967, in Worcester, Massachusetts, under the leadership of guitarist John 'J.' Geils.The original band members included vocalist Peter Wolf, harmonica and saxophone player Richard 'Magic Dick' Salwitz, drummer Stephen Bladd, vocalist/keyboardist Seth Justman, and bassist Danny Klein. Just listen to the cassette version versus the vinyl version of the first track “Concealed Weapons”. The vinyl version is 25% lower pitched than the cassette version, which makes it sound awful. Blues - both Rounder Records releases by his first, post-original J.

So he went off and started a solo career, while the rest of the band went on to release one last album - “You’re Gettin’ Even While I’m Gettin’ Odd” This departure didn’t sit well with their lead singer Peter Wolf, who was basically pushed out of the band because he didn’t want to head down the pop direction the band was taking. In the early 80s they had the major hit “ Centerfold”, which was a huge departure from their original blues-rock sound, and the song is now a staple in classic rock stations everywhere. Geils Band, they’re one of biggest rock groups of the 70s. Geils Band at PNE Forum, Vancouver, BC, Canada.
