Nine CD box set featuring of the complete Atco Recordings by Vanilla Fudge made between 1967 and 1969. Newly remastered from the original master tapes. Includes the albums 'Vanilla Fudge' (Mono & Stereo Versions), 'The Beat Goes On' (Mono & Stereo Versions), 'Renaissance', 'Near The Beginning' And 'Rock & Roll', along with a 2CD live recording at the Fillmore West in 1969, session out-takes and rare singles. With an illustrated booklet with a new essay featuring exclusive band interviews. The band were originally known as The Pigeons and gained notoriety thanks to their radical, slowed down and heavy interpretations of current hits. They signed to Atco Records, a division of Atlantic in April 1967 and changed their name at the insistence of Atlantic founder Ahmet Ertegun to Vanilla Fudge. Their radical cover version of The Supremes' hit "You Keep Me Hanging On" was issued as a single in June 1967. Dominated by the hard hitting approach of their rhythm section and the powerful Hammond organ playing of Mark Stein it became a US top 10 hit. The band's self-titled debut album was released in August 1967 and was a psychedelic rock tour-de-force, featuring a seven-minute version of 'You Keep Me Hanging On', it also featured imaginative cover versions of compositions by The Beatles, The Zombies and Curtis Mayfield among others. Over the next two years, VANILLA FUDGE would record a series of albums that would evolve from psychedelic rock to heavy rock and influence many emerging bands, among them Deep Purple, before disbanding in 1970.
