''Head Trip in Every Key'' is the thirteen-song album released by Superdrag on Elektra Records in 1998. ==History== After the surprising success of the band's 1996 album ''Regretfully Yours'', they were given more financial support from their recording label Elektra Records, on the condition that they created more radio-friendly songs. It was co-produced (along with the band) by Jerry Finn. The album was recorded at Sound City Studios in Van Nuys, CA. The music, contrary to previous recordings by the band, contained a combination of string orchestras, pianos, sitars, organs, and other out-of-the-ordinary instrumentation. The label believed that the intent of the band was to go purposely against their will with the overall sound of the album and not create any "hit songs," and did not expect the fully orchestrated 'Beatlesque' sound the band conveyed on this album. (The band has admitted as much later that they were taking advantage of the money Elektra provided to them in order to create the best studio album they could, regardless of the label's demands for radio hits, knowing that they might never have that kind of funding again.) To date the album is considered their most accomplished album, but many critics considered it radio-unfriendly. Only one song, "Do the Vampire", received even minimal radio play and, as expected, the label subsequently cut most of the band's further funding. The album also received very little publicity and therefore sold poorly, subsequently causing the label to drop the band from the label. Almost no touring was done in support of the album, and it remains unheard by many, although most die-hard fans consider it to be their greatest release. On July 9, 2014, SideOneDummy Records, which previously released ''Regretfully Yours'' on vinyl for the first time, announced a double-LP vinyl pressing of the album, along with a double-LP compilation of demos recorded prior, to be released August 12. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Head Trip in Every Key」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
