In addition, his 1970 solo debut, Someday Man, (reissued in 2010 by Now Sounds [CRNOW 22]) is coveted by many record collectors as one of the essential albums of the “sunshine pop” genre. Before all that, he and brother Mentor Williams—himself the author of Dobie Gray’s 1973 hit “Drift Away”—were members of a short-lived psychedelic pop outfit called The Holy Mackerel. The band issued one fantastic Richard Perry-produced LP in 1968 and promptly vanished. This first-time-on-vinyl compilation collects all of the bonus tracks from the 2010 Now Sounds expanded edition CD of the Mackerel’s eponymous LP.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncluded in this collection are the band’s five mono single sides, (two of which weren’t included on the original Mackerel LP); two “sessions” tracks that provide great insight into how producer Richard Perry and the studio musicians crafted the final recordings; and three demos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe full-color four-page insert features rare, unpublished photos and in-depth liner notes featuring the participation of Paul Williams, Roger Nichols, Mentor Williams, and others.
