I'm pleased to announce that we now have "Monsters From the ID" Available on vinyl. We'll have them inirially available through CD Baby, but SG101 members can get it directly from me for a discounted price. Just pm me if you want one...

That was excessively violent and completely unnecessary. I loved it.

I have the 7" and now have the inexplicable urge to buy MFTI again on vinyl...inexplicable because my turntable has been broken for two years.

Waited a loooong time for this. The first tracks of both sides are NUTS and it's solid the whole way through. As expected, engineered very well, though maybe not quite the same perceived volume level as the older stuff. Well done and worth the wait!

Here's a bump for an insanely good album that should be discussed more often!

When ever this album comes out to play I always listen to track 07 Haunted Pad three times. When I first heard it I thought they were all playing the wrong notes! Soon after you realise it's just genius at work. My CDbaby liner notes txt file is hard to read but I think Haunted Pad was written by Ted Taylor, in any case I really must trace the original down one day. I don't mind where Monsters from the Id is placed in the surf spectrum, it stands up on it's own as a strong solid body of work. And.. just to be silly, it's great to cook to - chopping the veg and stir fry

An incredible album! (Why is this thread in this forum, though? There are no reviews here.)

crumble, you can get the original version of the Ted Taylor Four's Haunted Pad on the same-named CD comp of British early-'60s instros, for only eight and a half quid!! http://www.amazon.co.uk/Haunted-British-Instrumental-Sixties-1960-61/dp/B008EOQV52
EVERYTHING the Ted Taylor Four recorded was genius! Those guys were NUTS! Excellent choice of a cover, Victor!

Thanks guys. I love the Ted Taylor 4. He was John Barry's go-to Clavioline guy. We tried to Locate him, but couldn't find anything on him. 'Haunted Pad' was one of those songs I wanted to play the first time I heard it, before it was even done playing. Same thing with Ted Taylor's 'Cat's Eyes', which is going to be our next release (out in a month hopefully!), although we followed the Ray Columbus version for ours.
I think I mentioned it before, but when we recorded 'Haunted Pad' we looked high and low for a working Clavioline, to no avail. We did find a Hammond Solovox, which is very similar, but it was way too noisy to record with, so we opted for the Vox organ through a Leslie speaker instead. I wanted to record the organ at half-speed --so it would register a higher more Clavioline-like pitch when played back at normal speed, but there was no time or money left for that kind of experimentation at that point. I like the way it turned out though. By the way it took three of us to figure out the keyboard part in 'Haunted Pad'!
I hope our version turns a few people on to Ted Taylor, and sells a few turntables too!

Ted Taylor died sometime in the 1990s. I found this information by using Google Groups and searching with "The Ted Taylor Four".

As to why Haunted Pad and some other early British tunes are catching my ear could be due to radio broadcasts from when I was 6 or 7 years old. This info from rockhistory uk would seem to confirm it:

"The Ted Taylor Four clocked up considerable airplay with ‘Cats Eyes’, the theme tune to their own brief BBC Light programme radio series".
