1968 Stereo original. From The Oakland Boys. The Loading Zone's self-titled debut album is a gem of the psychedelic era, filled with soulful grooves and adventurous instrumentation. The band's blend of R&B and rock influences is expertly executed, with horns, organ, and electric guitar all weaving together seamlessly. The standout track "No More Tears" is a powerful protest song with a stirring vocal performance from lead singer Linda Tillery, while "The Bells" is a haunting instrumental piece that showcases the band's improvisational skills. The album's overall sound is raw and unpolished, giving it a gritty authenticity that sets it apart from other albums of the era. The Loading Zone may not have achieved the same level of success as some of their contemporaries, but this album proves that they were a force to be reckoned with in the San Francisco music scene of the late 1960s.
